In the *Summa Theologiae,* St. Thomas Aquinas says that "angels do not assume bodies from the earth or water, or they could not suddenly disappear." *Source*: [Ia Q. 51 Art. 2 (Whether angels assume bodies) Obj. 3](https://www.newadvent.org/summa/1051.htm) Based on Catholic theology, does this mean angels cannot destroy matter, if they cannot make earth or water disappear?
