The angels are represented throughout The Bible as a body of spiritual beings intermediate between God and men. Uriel is one of four archangels for many Christians but not for Catholics.

Uriel's name does not appear in the canonical scriptures as recognized by the Catholic Church today. He is mentioned in two apocryphal writings the Church used to reference in the early Middle Ages. Pope St. Zachary is most famous for overseeing Germany's conversion to Christianity and for crowning Pepin the Short, Charlemagne's father, as King of the Franks. Simultaneous with rampant idolatry of Uriel and other angels, Pope Zachary battled many other practices he deemed heretical, including married clergy and secular rulers choosing bishops.

In 745, Pope Zachary reformed the canon of the Church and removed the two apocryphal books that mentioned Uriel by name, and along with them any basis for Uriel's official place in the Church. Uriel lost not only the title of archangel, but also his place as an official saint.

Who organized the christian bible?

The selection of the canon of the Bible (which books are included, which suppressed) together with their ordering, is a complex and fascinating history. The present form of the Bible was finally crystalised by Saint Jerome when he translated / collated what would become the definitive Latin text of the Bible (the Vulgate) in consultation with pope Damasus I from around 382 until the end of Jerome's life in 420.There was general agreement about which texts were acceptable as part of the Christian Bible before Jerome (such works as the Acts of Peter and Thecla were already considered highly dubious) but it was Jerome's effort to produce a single authoritative text which finally established the canon as we know it today (together with fixing the order of the books). To simplify slightly (a full answer would need a book) the protocanonical books (the Bible) were what Jerome and Damasus agreed on; the deuterocanonical books (the Apocrypha) were books Jerome wanted to exclude but under persuasion agreed to accept as an add-on.Damasus I as pope had the authority to both decide the composition and the sequence of the Bible, and also to delegate the translation into a common language of the source texts (in Hebrew, Greek, and in a few cases Aramaic) to Jerome. No pope since Damasus I has seen fit to revise the Bible (unless you count Pius XII's very limited instruction Divino Afflante Spiritu), so all subsequent translations derive directly (actual borrowed terminology or interpretation) or indirectly (choice of source texts and sequence) from Jerome.


Where in the Bible does it verify perpetual virginity of Mary?

The concept of Mary's perpetual virginity is not explicitly stated in the Bible. While the Bible does affirm Mary's virginity at the time of Jesus' birth (Matthew 1:25), it does not provide direct support for her remaining a virgin throughout her life. The belief in Mary's perpetual virginity developed within the early Christian tradition and is supported by some indirect biblical interpretations and theological reasoning.

The Pope and his cardinals are responsible for interpreting the Bible for Catholics. They publish their interpretation in The Catechism of the Catholic Church.
