Hey, who you callin' a pinhead???

A group of Marylanders who comprise the weblog Catholic Testudines have linked to an essay, on the medieval debate of how many angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

Guys, here's the short answer: all of them!

Angels are spiritual beings, without matter; therefore they take up no physical space; therefore there's room for the entire heavenly host in the smallest of corporeal confines.

(People should really consult with me sooner before they go off like this.)
