I always thought fallen angels had their wings stripped rather than choosing to not be there. Unless that was the reason they had their wings taken of course.

Essentially the story is angels were god’s original creations. Perfect beings built to serve.
But that was boring so god created humans and withheld knowledge from them, and commanded angels to serve at human’s beck and call, even tho the humans were complete idiots who lived a life of luxury free of any worry.
Lucifer was basically Prometheus and “tricked” humans into learning stuff.
Then God threw Lucifer, the humans, and a couple other angels out of paradise because humans weren’t dumb pets anymore.
And somehow that makes God the good guy in the story.
Personally it always seemed like God was a dick and Lucifer had our backs, but that’s why I didn’t have to keep going to CCD as a kid

Don’t they have jet-angels?

Heaven’s a paradise. If you consider worshipping someone nonstop. Oh and if Dante’s inferno was right about anything, it seems you aren’t allowed to grieve in heaven cause it might upset him.

Paradiso was the hardest of the three to read. Just endless discussions of Light, Truth, Love and authority.
