Is Lucifer really evil?

[ready]

You are much forgiven, brother in Christ. Please realise in the future that I take very great care not to contradict Catholic teaching and post only what is in accordance with my conscience and that if I believe them 100%, even if I do post from saints’ private revelations. On a side note, it feels really weird to have people call me abdulmasih. I originally picked the name since I’m Indonesian and many people here speak Arab to some extent, but it feels a little off since I’m not even Arabic or of Arab descent.

You can always change your user name.

Thank you!

And I will absolutely remember in the future

Hello to you in Indonesia by the way!..

Some months later, I just found this quote on another thread, as a response to this thread:

“Even if [the Pope an incarnate devil], we ought not to raise up our heads against him, but calmly lie down to rest on his bosom… He who rebels against our Father is condemned to death, for that which we do to him we do to Christ: we honor Christ if we honor the Pope; we dishonor Christ if we dishonor the Pope.”

written by St. Catherine of Siena.

Rabbinical Judaism seems to have a view that makes more sense to me: That Lucifer isn’t evil, but is ordered by God to tempt humans. This makes more sense to me, because it would suit the need for the Serpent (AKA ‘Satan’) to be in the Garden with Adam and Eve. Are these beliefs heretical?

Matthew 25:41-43

41Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. 43I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me.
