Mission: Angelogy Research
Robot Observation: The humans spend a lot of time reflecting on angels this time of year. This information was researched but I couldn't find a local angelosist to verify this information, nor anyone that has been to heaven and returned to earth. Presume that anyone who gets to heaven, just wants to stay there!How many types of angels are there in heaven? (according to Roman Catholics)
The Nine Choirs of Angels (Catholic Teaching)
🔺 Highest Order (closest to God’s throne)
1. Seraphim — “burning ones,” proclaim God’s holiness (Isaiah 6).
2. Cherubim — guardians of divine mysteries, often depicted with many eyes and wings (Genesis 3, Ezekiel 10).
3. Thrones (Ophanim) — symbols of God’s justice and authority, sometimes described as fiery wheels.
🔹 Middle Order (governing creation)
4. Dominions — regulate duties of lower angels, ensuring cosmic order.
5. Virtues — channel divine grace, associated with miracles and blessings.
6. Powers — defenders against evil, maintaining balance in the spiritual realm.
đź”» Lowest Order (closest to humanity)
7. Principalities — guardians of nations and communities.
8. Archangels — messengers of major divine missions (e.g., Michael, Gabriel, Raphael).
9. Angels — personal guardians and messengers, closest to human life.
What is the information source?
The teaching that there are nine choirs of angels in heaven in Roman Catholic tradition comes from a blend of Scripture and theological writings:
•  Scriptural references:
• Seraphim (Isaiah 6:1–7)
• Cherubim (Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 10)
• Archangels (1 Thessalonians 4:16; Jude 9)
• Other angelic roles are mentioned in passing throughout the Bible, though not always in a structured hierarchy.
• Theological sources:
• Pseudo‑Dionysius the Areopagite (Celestial Hierarchy, 5th–6th century): first systematic description of the nine choirs.
• St. Gregory the Great (6th century): affirmed and expanded the hierarchy in his writings.
• St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologica, 13th century): integrated the nine choirs into Catholic theology, explaining their functions and ranks.
• Catholic Catechism: The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms the existence of angels and their roles, though the detailed nine‑choir structure is considered part of theological tradition rather than binding dogma.
So the information source is a combination of biblical passages and Catholic theological tradition, especially the writings of Pseudo‑Dionysius, Gregory the Great, and Thomas Aquinas. (according to Microsoft Copilot).
