Summary/Abstract: The article presents some collected thoughts about angelology and demonology, acknowledg- ing the truth about these spirits as revealed and present in the whole history of the Church. The human relation towards angels and demons was presented on the basis of comments of 858 second- ary school students. Attention was paid to the role of angels in Sacred Scripture and at present in the life of the students, ways of representing angels in art, motives for paying honour and actual relation with the angels. The human relation towards demons concerned their role in Sacred Scripture and at present, the reasons for the Church’s warning against demons, the cult of demons and defence against them. The students proposed that religion teachers teach them the whole truth about these spirits, defence against the evil ones, and urge them to faith and prayer through the intercession of the angels.
