Paragraph 7. THE FALL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

392
Scripture speaks of a sin of these angels.²⁶⁹ This “fall”
consists in the free choice of these created spirits, who radically and
irrevocably rejected God and his reign. We find a reflection of that rebellion
in the tempter’s words to our first parents: “You will be like God.”²⁷⁰
The devil “has sinned from the beginning”; he is “a liar and the
father of lies”.²⁷¹
