Rom 5: 19).<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">For this sin lost the state of holiness in which they were created.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">Sin enters the story, so do not proceed from God, but the misuse of human freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\">Although this first sin was a personal act of Adam and Eve, there is such solidarity among men, such that sin affects all of us, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church (cf. 404.):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\">&#8220;All mankind is in Adam &#8216;sicut unum corpus unius hominis &#8211; as one body of a single man.&#8221;<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">Due to this &#8220;unity of the human race &#8216;all men are implicated in Adam&#8217;s sin, just as all are implicated in the righteousness of Christ.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">However, the transmission of original sin is a mystery that we can not fully understand.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">But we know from Revelation that Adam and had received original holiness and justice not only for themselves but for all human nature;<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">consenting to temptation, Adam and Eve committed a personal sin, but this sin affected the human nature that they will transmit in a fallen state. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\">To distinguish the relationship is between Adam and Eve and every one of us with original sin, theologians use two expressions greatly clarify &#8220;the originating original sin&#8221; (to refer to the sin of those a sin committed directly by our first parents), and &#8220;originated original sin&#8221; (to refer to original sin with which we are all born, their own sin of each, but not personally committed by us, but incurred by virtue of our nature).<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">The &#8220;originated original sin&#8221; &#8211; the original sin in us &#8211; is called &#8220;sin&#8221; in a similar way.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">It is the loss of state with which we are all born of that original holiness with which God had created man.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">This state is not transmitted by imitation of bad examples of our predecessors, but by propagation, directly affecting our nature.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">We are born that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\">Now, on the one hand in Adam all have sinned, continues the Apostle, &#8220;the obedience of one shall many will be made righteous.&#8221;<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">In Christ, the new Adam, we all have access to holiness.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"notranslate\">Through the sacrament of baptism, the redemption accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ with his Cross and Resurrection is applied to each of us, and we become free of original sin, driven again to God, although the consequences of sin &#8211; not the original sin &#8211; persist in us, and will require to the end of our lives an intense spiritual battle to live consistently with this new divine life which comes through baptism.<\/span><\/p>\n<footer id=\"entry-author-info\"><a class=\"entry_author_image\" href=\"https:\/\/translate.googleusercontent.com\/translate_c?act=url&amp;depth=1&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;prev=_t&amp;rurl=translate.google.com&amp;sl=pt-BR&amp;tl=en&amp;u=http:\/\/formacao.cancaonova.com\/author\/demetriogomes\/&amp;usg=ALkJrhhqWeoT74U_w5c5RP3gjsa53U-dag\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.cancaonova.com\/cnimages\/canais\/authors\/77_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"notranslate\">Father Demetrius Gomes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\">Father Demetrius Gomes is parish priest and Judicial Vicar of the Inter-diocesan Ecclesiastical Court of Niter\u00f3i, in Brazil and Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Niteroi.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">Professor of the Philosophy Institute and Theological Seminary St. Joseph of Niter\u00f3i.<\/span> <span class=\"notranslate\">Member of the International Society of Thomas Aquinas (SITA &#8211;
