The reason St Uriel’s cult as well as the other archangels (there are 7 of them) was discouraged was because there was a tendency towards angel worship in the West.
Pope St Gregory the great also spoke about St Uriel as the 4th angel.
At the Council of Rome of 745, Pope St. Zachary, intending to clarify the Church’s teaching on the subject of angels and curb a tendency toward angel worship, condemned obsession with angelic intervention and angelolatry, but reaffirmed the approval of the practice of the reverence of angels. This synod struck many angels’ names from the list of those eligible for veneration in the Church of Rome, including Uriel. Only the reverence of the archangels mentioned in the recognized Catholic canon of scriptures, namely Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, remained licit. In the 16th century, archangel Uriel appeared before the Sicilian friar Antonio Lo Duca and told him to build a church in the Termini area. Lo Duca told pope Pius IV about the apparition, the pope then asked Michelangelo to design the church. It is the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, located at the Esedra Plaza.
St Uriel is not a demon but one of the seven archangels that stand before the throne of God. We are prohibited from naming angels because in modern times people have a tendency to name their guardian angels and various other angels which hey have no source for. St Uriel is an angel from tradition.
I am a Latin catholic also so you’re out of line. What you are saying is some rogue extremist take on the whole matter of angels and non-canonical books which the church actually encourages to be read hence they were in an appendix in the Vulgate.
Further more Uriel was also named in a small exorcism in the 15th century, reported by Robert Ambelain in Arabic Astrology on page 18, without indication of date, place of origin etc.: “Conjuro te diabolo per sanctum Michaelem, sanctum Gabrielem, sanctum Raphaelem, sanctum Urielem”.
