God, help me stand. Saint Michael, defend us in battle.

How did an angel get to be a "saint"?

BTW Michael's assignment is to protect Israel, not Rome

Dan 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.Dan 12:1"Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

It never ceases to surprise me how some allegedly former Catholics are so incredibly ignorant of Catholic teaching. It border upon the obtuse.

Saint is synonymous with holy (sanctus). Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, and Lutherans all refer to him as Saint Michael the Archangel and also simply as Saint Michael.

Peace be with you.

~ PRAYER ~

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle
 Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we  humbly pray,
 and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
 by the power of God,
 Cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
 Amen
