An angel is a spiritual entity, typically depicted as a winged humanoid, that serves as a messenger or intermediary between God and humanity in Abrahamic religions and other traditions. They also function as protectors, guides, and servants of God. In Western belief, the term commonly differentiates benevolent beings from malevolent ones.
During a General Audience on August 6, 1986, Pope John Paul II discussed the nature of angels, explaining that they do not have bodies, although they may appear in visible forms for the benefit of people. He also referenced Christian art and biblical descriptions of cherubim and seraphim, noting that while cherubim and seraphim are depicted with wings in the Bible, angels are not always shown with wings.
In 1986, Pope John Paul II delivered an address titled "Angels Participate In History Of Salvation", highlighting the significance of angels in Catholic teachings and suggesting that modern thought should recognize their importance.
