=== Catholic Church === According to the ''[[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'' (CCC) paragraph 328, "the existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that [[Catholic Bible|Sacred Scripture]] usually calls 'angels' is [[Dogma in the Catholic Church|a truth of faith]]. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of [[Sacred tradition|Tradition]]."<ref>{{cite web |title=Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraph 5. Heaven and Earth |url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1A.HTM |accessdate=March 4, 2022 |publisher=vatican.va}}</ref> The same [[catechism]] states: "The whole life of the church benefits from the mysterious and powerful help of the angels [...] From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bordwell |first1=David |title=Catechism of the Catholic Church |author2=the Vatican |date=2002 |publisher=Continuum International Publishing |isbn=0-86012-324-3 |page=78 Β§Β§334β335 |ref={{sfnref|Catechism of the Catholic Church}}}} </ref> It also states, "Christ is the center of the angelic world.
