A vast amount of catholic art portrays men becoming angels, and portrays Peter standing at a gate with wings.

There is also a considerable amount that portrays female angels, which the word of God denies, and human looking angels in ‘heaven.’

“A vast amount of catholic art portrays men becoming angels, and portrays Peter standing at a gate with wings.”

If we’re even going to consider anything about a vast amount of Catholic art, when did “Catholic art” begin?

“There is also a considerable amount that portrays female angels, which the word of God denies...”

There are no female angels, and there are no male angels. Only beings with a body can be male or female. Angels do not have bodies.

“...and human looking angels in ‘heaven.’”

Manifestations of angelic beings have been in various ways; many times in human form, many times as having wings. Artistic representations have followed suit.

Oh man, where do you people come from? I took a break from FR for a few months. I came back, and suddenly its like the short bus had an accident, so the hockey helmet crowd escaped and decided to take over this website.

There is also so-called "Catholic" art that portrays saints walking around with gold platters suspended above their heads, Semitic people looking like Norwegians, Moses having horns, people habitually covering their private parts with fig leafs (or, for that matter just being naked all the time), and, in possibly the greatest example of "Catholic" (or perhaps any) art of all time, the Blessed Mother looking like she's half the age of her dead Son. It's called artistic license, dumbass. Not to be confused with catechism
