Wayne Hankey, a specialist in ancient and medieval philosophy at and one-time Anglican priest (now a Roman Catholic), says that many in the Western world, including Anglicans, have largely come to disbelieve in angels because of their “infatuation” with ratiocination—the type of reasoning used by science, as most of us understand it, technology and other forms of manipulation and control. It has led to abandoning older, intuitive forms of thought and to a technological society that has spawned climate change and other threats to human life, he asserts. Asked what he would say to those who are skeptical about angels, Hankey doesn’t mince words. “Infatuation with ratiocination...and its false freedom is what’s destroying the conditions of human life on the planet in every sense,” he says, [Angels] “so you’d better get over it and discover that 5Wayne Hankey, God can seem so vast,” she says. “We use there are higher forms above you and that parental roles frequently in worship to get can be at least a specialist “ the cosmos is governed by things that you in ancient closer to him, but there are many other a powerful really do not have control over and that and medieval role s .” symbol for you’d better get in tune with.” philosophy, Not all Christians, of course, are so all those In fact, surveys suggest a fairly laments people’s interested in angels.
