I suspect something got lost in the translation of what the Pope said. Besides that, since “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth...” includes EVERYTHING that was created, including the angels who became fallen angels...then yes, the devil, like Adam and Eve, is on the first page.

Actually, on Day 1 God created time (in the beginning), space (heavens), matter (Earth), light and a method of measuring time (evening and morning were first day). Angels were likely created on day 2 (Psalm 104, Job 38:1-7), Adam on Day 6. Not the first page for Adam, unless it is #6 font on Family size Bible. The serpent (Satan) is not mentioned until Chapter 3.

This might be Satan's words inserted:

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

That appeals to man's vanity. The problem with vanity is envy soon follows, which is the motivation behind most of the evil in the world. Most evil can be traced back to the sin of pride, and the image of God idea is the ultimate pride. It is highly doubtful the image of God is anything resembling man.
