There seems to be


no problem promoting angels in the secular world.

Spreading News of Angels: Group Succeeds at Promoting Angelology

It wouldn't hurt the Church to give a bit more focus or information to the general laity about the Church teachings regarding angels. It should counter the fluffy generic angel ideas of the secular and 'new age' part of our culture that sees angels existing just by themselves, with no reference to God.

That's one of my little pet peeves - people who refuse to believe in a personal God (instead believing in some amorphous universal power or entity of some sort) but have no problem believing in personal angels, and that these beings exist somehow for their benefit...
