Not your usual 'angel' article...


Christmas Unwrapped: How angels fell from their pedestals

"New Agers may claim angels and resort to them, but what’s the point really?” said Father Michael Patella, a professor at St. John’s College in Minnesota. “Unless these angels are pointing to some larger purpose, turning to them is just as futile as trusting in a rabbit’s foot."
It's an article that focuses mainly on the change in attitude toward angels and with people who take them seriously - in their traditional sense. It's really, surprisingly, quite good.
