I love reading Monsignor Pope’s articles. Good stuff!
Nowhere in the New Tesatment does the Bible describe angels as having wings.
The TV show Supernatural definitely has down the “fearsome soldier of God” part, and that they don’t have bodies (they occupy willing hosts in the show).

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
That may be true in scripture. But I prayed a full Divine Mercy once and heard the angels praising God. Singing Holy Holy Holy God and hallejehahs. It was sweet low sound I first thought it was Radio. No radio was turned on. I looked in the whole house. It went on for 2 minutes. It was beautiful. I was praying for a family member.
I believe The Lord gave me a signal grace for the answer to pray. Praise Jesus!
But as an aside, I have to say I loved the way they were portrayed in "Supernatural".
One of my favorite television lines, ever was when Zachariah goes off with -
"In Heaven, I have six wings and four faces!...one of which is a lion! Lemme tell you something, I was on the fast-track once -- Employee Of The Month every month, forever! I'd walk these halls and people would AVERT THEIR EYES! I HAD RESPECT. And then they assigned me you: now look at me, I can't close the deal on a couple of flannel-wearing maggots? Everybody's laughing at me! Well, it's personal now, and the last person in the history of creation you want as your enemy is me. Lucifer, may be strong, but I'm petty!"

I wish it were possible to have a very big buck movie with an exceptional director to film a modern day version of Armageddon, in ALL of its true biblical incantations.
Not about nuking a comet.
Armies of Angels decimating millions if not billions that aligned with Satan, restoring peace on Earth, eliminating Islam in totality, every single scrap of its history would be removed from existence.
As long as it doesn’t get too creepy crawly about like how the Jehovahs Witnesses thing of Earth after Armageddon I would be happy, though the Resurrection does have some interesting benefits.
Whether or not only a 144,000 will survive can be argued, maybe someone misplaced a decimal point or something.
I believe in Angels and spiritual guidance though my self I doubt I deserve any guidance, I seem to be a rebel at everything.
