Who are the seven Catholic Archangels?
There are three explicitly named archangels according to the new testament. These are Gabriel, Michael and Raphael who identifies himself in Tobit 12:15 - For I am the Angel Raphael, one of seven, who stand before the Lord.” The book of enoch defines the others as Uriel, Raguel, Sariel and Jerahmeel. These are, therefore, often cited as the seven archangels according to Catholicism.

Who are the arc-angels?
Archangels are superior or higher-ranking angels. Archangels are found in a number of religious traditions, including Islam, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. In Biblical Christianity, the only archangel ever clearly named as being of the order is Michael.The New Testament rarely speaks of angels, and makes only two references to archangels: Michael in Jude 1.9 and I Thessalonians 4:16, where the "voice of an archangel" will be heard at the return of Christ. Contrary to popular belief, Gabriel is never called 'archangel' in the Gospels.In later Church tradition, however, there are three archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and usually Raphael; sometimes Uriel is given as a fourth. Eastern Orthodox tradition mentions "thousands of archangels" but venerates only seven of them by name. Uriel is included, and the other three are most often named Selaphiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel.Sometimes Satan (named Satanel in the Book of Enoch) is considered a fallen archangel whose original name was Lucifer.Some Protestants view Michael as the sole archangel, as the only one explicitly described as such in the Protestant canon of the Bible.In art, archangels are usually depicted with larger wings and many eyes. Some of the more commonly represented archangels are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Metatron, Uriel, and Satanel.
Who are the seven archangels in the Bible?
There are several different versions and translations of the Bible. Michael is the only angel explicitly described as an archangel. Gabriel is also generally considered an archangel even though he is never directly called one. Some versions of the Bible, most notably the Catholic canon, included the Book of Tobit which features Raphael. Uriel is feature in the Book of Enoch, which appears in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible. These two are both widely considered archangels. Enoch also features Raguel, Zerachiel and Remiel as the additional archangels. However, this is not a definitive list. Because different denominations of Christians have different versions of the Bible and different ways of interpreting it, there is no one answer for this. Some religions (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Othodox) refer to Gabriel as an archangel in the bible. In fact whenever he is mentioned he is mentioned as the archangel Gabriel. These religions also refer to Raphael as an archangel in their respective Bibles.
