 I'm sure D&D was played in some form in the precincts of the Vatican
long before Baldur's Gate 3 was released.  Maybe even during the time
when the Satanic Panic thing was raging in the US and to a lesser extent
the rest of the English speaking world, but not so much in Italy.

I don't know that it was Catholics going after D&D.  BADD was popularized by evangelicals - specifically the TV kind.  Jack Chick was was some very weird offshoot of Baptist.
