In the video we watched, Fulton J Sheen explained angels better than anyone else could. I didn’t know who he was or what he did before that class but now I am extremely impressed by how he explained the ideas the church teaches. He is obviously an incredibly smart man and I was surprised that he was comical as well. Venerable Sheen does not fit into the bishop stereotype at all.

This idea truly stands out to me because I have always thought of angels as flying babies that play harps but now I know that is definitely not the case. They can probably appear as flying babies playing harps but that’s not what they really are. They are simply beings separate from humans created by God that have a mission to be messengers to God’s
