Why is St. Raphael an archangel?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe word "angel" means one sent, a messenger. In other words, angel is an office, not a description of their being, but what they do. An "arch"angel is one sent with a particularly important message. The term occurs twice in the New Testament: Jude 5:9; 1 Thessolonians 4:16. Raphael delivered Tobia's wife from demonic obsession (Tobit 12:6, 15) and traditionally is identified with the angel who moved the waters of the pool, where Christ worked his miracle (John 5:1-4). extracted from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Who was Tobit in The Bible?

A:Tobit is the central character in the Book of Tobit, one of the Deuterocanonical books of the Catholic Old Testament. Set among the Israelites exiled by the Assyrians after the destruction of Israel in 722, the book was written during the period following the Babylonian Exile but before the Maccabean era. Tobit himself was a pious Israelite, whose son Tobias also plays an important part in the book. Everett Ferguson (Backgrounds of Early Christianity) says that the historical background given the story is quite confused and obviously fictitious. Tobit is really no more than a character in a short story.
