Paragraph 7. THE FALL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

391
Behind the disobedient choice of our first parents lurks a seductive voice,
opposed to God, which makes them fall into death out of envy.²⁶⁶
Scripture and the Church’s Tradition see in this being a fallen angel, called
“Satan” or the “devil”.²⁶⁷ The Church teaches that
Satan was at first a good angel, made by God: “The devil and the other
demons were indeed created naturally good by God, but they became evil by their
own doing.”²⁶⁸
