ANGEL. From the Greek word for messenger, the Bible speaks often of the role of angels. There are many Old Testament references to them (see, for example, Genesis 32:2, Isaiah 6, Daniel 10:13, Tobit 7:8). Of special note is the teaching of Jesus that angels are spiritual beings (see Matthew 22:30), always enjoying the vision of God in heaven (see Matthew 18:10), and will accompany him at his Second Coming (see Matthew 16:27). In the course of centuries, theologians have described angels as created spirits without bodies, endowed with intellect and free will, inferior to God but superior to human beings. The Catholic Church professes that angels exist but does not define many details about them.
