And while Osse is correct in the statement about "angelic powers" (the Valar are very much like the pantheons seen in various religions - though for my money, far more interesting - perhaps this is how a Christian would construct a pre-Christian "paganism"?), Iarwain's understanding of Tolkien's Catholic (Christian) particularism contra the theological pluralism suggested by Osse is also correct, as seen for example in any number of Tolkien's letters now in published form.
