An angel is a supernatural entity, typically humanoid with wings, often serving as a messenger between God and humanity, particularly in Abrahamic religions. They also function as protectors and guides, like guardian angels, serving God. In Western belief, the term differentiates benevolent beings from malevolent ones.
During a General Audience on August 6, 1986, Pope John Paul II gave an address entitled "Angels participate in the history of salvation", explaining that angels do not have a physical body but may appear in visible forms to aid people. He discussed the depiction of angels in Christian art and scripture, referencing the Four Living Creatures in Revelation and cherubim and seraphim in the Hebrew Bible, while noting that early Christian images often depicted angels without wings.
In 1986, Pope John Paul II delivered an address titled "Angels Participate In History Of Salvation", emphasizing the significance of angels in Catholic teachings and suggesting a reevaluation of their importance in modern thought.
