Catholic doctrine states that Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the tree of knowledge of evil. My question is how did Satan fall? What caused him to know evil?
I think you mean Lucifer not Lucille !Catholic doctrine states that Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the tree of knowledge of evil. My question is how did Satan fall? What caused him to know evil?
From my understanding, God always leaves a possiblity open for his creatures to not choose him. We human beings have our whole lifetime to choose for God, angelic order was probably put through some kind of trial, test, and a significant proportion decided against God. It is my understanding that they wanted to overthrow God. Self-love is very much at odds with the love and veneration due to God, Lucifer fell in love with himself, as it were. The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil may not have been a literal tree, the fruit, not a literal fruit, however God expressly and explicitly forbade Adam and Eve from doing something which they ended up doing at Satan’s suggestion.Catholic doctrine states that Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the tree of knowledge of evil.

Not because she had 400 children and no crop in the field ???Yes, it’s because she wouldn’t do her sister’s will.

Lucille Ball?How did Lucille fall?
Oops! My phone’s auto correct is terrible.I think you mean Lucifer not Lucille !
Satan fell by pride and arrogance. He like Adam and Eve had free will to choose God or not God. He chose to not cooperate with God. His temptation was from within.
I think it was because Desi would not dance with her…Catholic doctrine states that Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan to eat the tree of knowledge of evil. My question is how did Satan fall? What caused him to know evil?
