Today we explore the nature of angelic presence in Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica, diving into the question of whether angels can be in more than one place at a time. In this profound meditation on spiritual beings, Aquinas argues that while angels are not bound by physical bodies, they are still finite creatures who can only be present where they act—and thus, cannot occupy multiple locations simultaneously. Their presence, unlike God’s, is localized and singular. This distinction helps clarify both angelic power and divine omnipresence, shedding light on the nature of created spirits.
