In the Orthodox Christian belief system the feast of "synaxis of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel and the rest of the archangels" is celebrated as a union of humans and angels.
Angels are in the here and now not only in the afterlife...the unity starts in this world
I love that. Tis is also true of Catholicism. However, the works of angels has been deemphasized somewhat in the West because of all the Gnostic undercurrents in our culture.
The current public interest in angels does not translate necessarily into an interest in the Orthodox-Catholic view of angels, mind you.
From my limited viewpoint, a person who is not "spiritual" ("pneumatikos") cannot tell the difference between a demon and an angel, hence, guess who takes advantage of their angelic nature to lead people into perdition.
I understand the Latin Church's care to set the general interest in angels into an appropriate, albeit limited, perspective.
