The Roman Catholic Church reacted to this and reaffirmed its belief in Satan the Devil at the First Vatican Council (1869 - 70), reiterating this rather timidly at the Second Vatican Council (1962 - 65).
Roomakatoliku kirik ei jätnud sellele reageerimata ning kinnitas oma usku Kurat - Saatanasse esimesel Vatikani kirikukogul (1869 – 1870) ning kordas seda üsna kartlikult teisel Vatikani kirikukogul (1962 – 1965).
