Why not?


I asked because Arthur specified “she” and I wondered why, since angels are spirit.

Also, “she” specifies female whereas the pronoun traditionally used for gender non-specific purposes would be “he”.

". . . the pronoun traditionally used for gender non-specific purposes would be “he”."

Traditionally?

I thought that alone would be sufficient reason for some non-Catholic folks to avoid the use of "he".
