Is it true that the Catholic Church banned the tritone interval in the Middle Ages as the devil in music?

No. A reference article on the tritone states the interval was avoided in medieval ecclesiastical singing for its dissonance, but that stories of singers being excommunicated or punished by the Church for using it are likely fanciful, and that the 'devil in music' label originally referred to the minor second. This directly contradicts the claim that the Catholic Church banned the tritone as the devil in music.
