145 taught that angels were the light created before all other creatures, having no superior but God, as men have none in- ferior but animals. The Council of the Lateran defined three classes of creatures, successively made in the beginning, first the spiritual or angelic, then the corporeal or earthly, and afterwards the human, composed of both body and soul.
Gregory the Great, accepting the "Celestial Hierarchy" of Dionysius, which embraced three great orders, with three classes in each order
..., entitled them Angels, Archangels, Virtues; Powers, Principalities, Dominations; Thrones, Cher- ubim, and Seraphim ; and likened them to the nine precious stones of paradise mentioned in Ezekiel. Peter Lombard, in his " Sentences," identified the creation of the heavens as the creation of angels, who were prior and superior to the whole material or earthly creation, and assigned them their place of abode above the visible firmament. Aquinas also character- ized them as pure intelligences or intellectual substances not united to bodies, and indulged in subtle disquisitions upon the loc^ity and scenery of heaven and hell, which he referred re- spectively to the upper and nether hemispheres ; assigning to the constellation of the Little Carriage, or Great Bear as it is now termed, the marvellous function of transporting the souls of baptized infants to paradise, unless the rite had been imper- fectly administered, when one of the wheels would break and the hapless spirit fall into purgatory.
