I remember Saint Augustine arguing against it in “The City of God”, but I can’t find the exact passage.

Hi!
Sorry, there isn’t one!

…much of that goes to hollowood’s spirituality where God uses evil to save man.

Yet, we must know and accept that fallen angels are Satan and his minions, not man.

God’s Love and Mercy, through Christ’s Redemptive works on the Cross, is sufficient for man’s reconciliation with God.

It is a fallacy to believe that man is a fallen angel; it is also a lie to place doubt in the mind of man. God does not want man to die (spiritual death); rather, God wants all to Live (gain Eternal Salvation):

21 “But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die. 22 None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live. 23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?

30 “Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! (Ezekiel 18:21-23, 30-32)

I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deuteronomy 30:19)

12 Seek not death in the error of your life, neither procure ye destruction by the works of your hands. 13 For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. (Wisdom 1:12-13)

May the Holy Spirit Guide you!

Maran atha!

My understanding, angels had full knowledge of the consequences of their decisions. Once they come to a decision it is permanent. They will never repent even if available.

The fallen angels’ choice is one that they cannot take back.

From the Catechism:

II. THE FALL OF THE ANGELS

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

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

393 It is the irrevocable character of their choice, and not a defect in the infinite divine mercy, that makes the angels’ sin unforgivable. "There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death."272

Spirits are eternal beings, human beings are timebound.

Repentance requires time and so is available only to human life.

The angels who rebelled could see in advance the consequences of their choice, and chose it anyway.

The fallen angels are lost forever. No chance to be saved.

 

[Bookcat]

No.

Due to their particular intellect …their particular nature …they could make their choice they they will not revoke.

Catechism:

393 It is the irrevocable character of their choice, and not a defect in the infinite divine mercy, that makes the angels’ sin unforgivable. “There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death.”
