St. Michael's not a woman.

Sede said that shorts were immodest and should be worn by no one, man, woman, or child.

Ok, he didn't mention angels!

Anyhow, the Church appears to have no objection to depicting an angel appearing as a man, dressed, what could be regarded as improperly.

Well St Michael has always been a riddle--how can an Archangel be a saint, by definition, LOL
:dancing-banana:

Saints are all who are in Heaven, other than God, I believe. Technically, Saint Michael is neither male or female but a pure spirit. I think I'm right on that. But he is given a male's name and probably has appeared as a male. God is pure Spirit and He is rightly referred to always in the masculine gender as God is refferred to "Father" and "Son" and the Holy Ghost is referred to by Jesus as "He".

Angels don't really wear shorts, though.

Saint means Holy. So you have churches dedicated to St. Saviour. It means Holy Saviour.

Actually Saint means a resident soul of Heaven, known or unknown. Angels were creatures of God, created by God...dead people do not become "angels" as many say. Saint Michael is an enigma. Blame the English, lol

I always wonder about angels unaware--and whether people who magically appear sometimes are angels.
