"This strawman of yours won’t help your cause."

You are basing your entire straw man argument upon what you believe the Gospels no not say. I am basing my counter to your straw man upon what they do say. One verse in Daniel, which by the way is not a Gospel, does not contain all that is known or revealed about spiritual beings, nor does it claim that all spiritual beings have the limitations and capabilities of the angel in Daniel.

I am not here to engage in a debate or even an argument (as opposed to a quarrel). The veracity of Catholic teaching is not in question. The bottom line is that I have studied the Bible, theology, philosophy and Catholic teaching extensively. I have read and studied the works of many brilliant theologians along side the infallible teachings of the Magisterium. It is against this that I compare and contrast your opinions. I find them, for want of a better word, puny.

Peace be with you

“One verse in Daniel, which by the way is not a Gospel,”


What an absurd thing to say, and it certainly reveals a very, shall we say, desperate way of thinking. Why would you attempt to downplay the importance of Daniel, a book of scripture? That “one example,” shows an angel who is not actually omnipresent, contrary to your claim that spirits are capable of being multipresent (and in Mary’s case, omnipresent). You later assert that you have studied “the Bible, theology, philosophy and Catholic teaching extensively,” yet your posts are utterly devoid of any thing like that. Your argument consists of downplaying scripture, and then telling me that just because you have no evidence for your theology, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
