WHAT IS ORIGINAL SIN? UNDERSTANDING THE CATHOLIC TEACHING

✝️ Did you know that every human being, except Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, is conceived with original sin? According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (404–405), original sin is not a personal wrongdoing we commit. Rather, it is the fallen condition of human nature, deprived of the original holiness and justice that God intended for humanity.

✝️ How did original sin begin? Genesis 3 describes how Adam and Eve disobeyed God after being tempted by the serpent. Through their disobedience, they lost the original holiness and harmony they enjoyed with God. This wounded condition was passed on to their descendants. Original sin is therefore inherited, not committed personally by each child (Catechism 396–404).

✝️ What are the consequences of original sin? Human nature became wounded and subject to suffering, death, ignorance, and an inclination toward sin called concupiscence. However, the Catholic Church teaches that human nature was not completely destroyed. We remain created in God's image and are capable of responding to His grace (Catechism 405).

✝️ How is original sin removed? Through the saving death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, humanity receives the gift of redemption. In the Sacrament of Baptism, original sin is forgiven, sanctifying grace is given, and we become adopted children of God. However, our inclination toward sin remains, so we must continue growing in holiness through prayer, the sacraments, and God's grace (Catechism 1263–1264).

Great Amen Catholica 🙏🏼
