Just a little wonder

Okay, this is totally random. But while I was studying for gender issue in sociology, I kind of came across with this thought. Which, the pretty much only relation between the study and my wonder is the word "gender", but anyway..

So I'm Catholic. And from what I remember, angels don't have gender. Like, they're neither male nor female. Am I remembering correct? I could be wrong, but I'm kind of sure they don't have gender. Since gender was created by God's creation of humankind and other species I'd doubt angels have gender at all.

My wonder/question is: while Castiel, Uriel, or even Anna borrowed human's body, that doesn't necessarily represent their gender..am I right? Like, we can't be sure that Castiel is "male-angel" when Anna is "female-angel" since there is so such thing. They are just...angels.

It's a really vague issue and probably not even slightly important matter but I was just wondering.

plus, English is not my first language, so I'm sorry for any possible confusion.:(

ediet: I asked my friend the same question, and she gave me this site as an answer. It also explains why angels' names are mostly males. It also had "Uriel" as an example, so that was cool. :)
