Its just a bunch of catholic fu fu.

Bells ringing when ‘angels’ get their wings?

The angels that have wings have had them for at least 6000 years. Angels are not people that have died.

Incorrect. Catholics do no believe dead people become angles. No doubt you got that idea from a Protestant screenwriter. Capra resented his Catholic upbringing and was therefore, by definition, a Protestant.

And a man doesn't get assigned a guardian angel when he's forty-something years old, either.

It's all intended to be a simplistic, charming portrayal of how God works his influence on life here on earth.

Nobody believes angels are dead humans, but how can you be certain of when all the winged angels (if there are any) got their wings?

That is plain wrong and a cheap shot. You aren’t going to find a single Catholic magisterial document supporting the position, and there are no grounds for attributing it to Catholicism in the film. Your last sentence is the Catholic position.

Your opening statement makes as much sense as saying that the decision for some one not to sing Amazing Grace on a particular occasion is a bunch of Methodist nonsense.

Take your misinformed Catholic bashing somewhere else. More suitable for DU.

With that kind of garbage rolling around in your head, I find it reassuring that we aren’t on the same page politically.

Sorry to disabuse you of your ignorance, but the idea that angels are deceased humans is Hollywood silliness, and has nothing to do with Catholic theology.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So far no one who has replied to you thinks that angels are dead people. That is just more Hollywood/liberal nonsense.

Not Catholic myself but even I knew that was not Catholic teaching and you needlessly delivered a low blow to Catholics.

Correct! Angels were present at the creation (Job 38:4-7) and were shouting for joy, praising the LORD for it.

Therefore, angels could not and cannot be people.

Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.

Angels don’t have wings because they don’t have bodies. They are pure spirits.
