Well, the passage quotes Christ as saying the “dead” are like angels...and angels interact with humans a lot in the Bible.

Only angels created for the purpose of that interaction.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . .

So this is a case of the RC edifice

yet again

fantasizing and building a skyscraper of dogma on, in this case, half a toothpick.

The Scripture does NOT say

as the ANGELS IN 100% OF ALL RESPECTS etc. etc.

My understanding is that the point was . . . believers in Heaven are not given in marriage and don’t exist as seriously wired seriously sexual beings engaging in all that in Heaven. THAT was the point, imho.

Tacking on all manner of outrageous, outlandish, preposterous assumptions beyond that is absolutely ludicrous, imho.
