More than 12...

Yes, more than 12. I thought the Virgin Mary received about 139 prayers per second, or something like that? Not bad I would say.

139 was an estimate, based on a randomly chosen figure, based on the unknown frequency of prayers to Mary daily.

It could be 173 or even more (or less).


I'm sure that the Vatican has the CORRECT number; as there is no WAY a mere Prot could EVER come up with it.

We've still not got the number of angels on a pinhead thing figgered out!


The fact that certain renowned medieval scholars considered similar questions is clear; Aquinas's Summa Theologica, written c. 1270,
includes discussion of several questions regarding angels such as, "Can several angels be in the same place?"
