st. thomas aquinas’ other questions mentioned in cecils article on this topic, e.g. do angels go from point a to point b without passibg through the points in the middle? and can multiple angels be in the safe space at the same time? are eerily prescient of question now being pondered by theorists of quantum mechanics. i aint preachin’ i just find that fascinating. ---
