Your comment: “God created Satan, knowing that he would become evil, so He created evil, arguably indirectly.”
God created all of us knowing that we may reject His Church, Sacraments and His love and that we will sin and do evil, yet he allows us to repent do penance and be saved.
God has given humans many chances to accept His love and follow Him (up to our death), while the angels had one chance to make a decision.
Knowing what someone will choose evil and sin does not make God evil or that he created evil. God is a loving God, not a dictator who makes us love Him.
In Duet 32:39 states that God allowed death to humans as a temporal punishment to Adam and Eve for the original sin and consequently to all humans. Exodus 3:19 “You are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
Death is temporary and we will all have eternal life either in Heaven or Hell. We choose based on our belief in God’s Truth (not our version of God’s Truth), and our love of God and our neighbor.
Interesting how quickly the poster illustrates the blindness created by ‘Catholic Traditions’ inculcated ... and the poster will not be able to see how his/her assertions are illustrating the blockage to the heart.

Not quite. God HIMSELF is speaking. Nothing about allowing. He says “I Kill.”
Deut. 32:39
American Standard Version (and others are similar)
See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
