[Goanet] What is ORIGINAL SIN ?

[Devak Argham]

Original Sin for the Catholic Church is the lack of Grace with which
we are born with. It is a result of our first parents, Adam and Eve.
It is not a sin we ourselves commit. Grace is any gift from God.
Original Sin is taken away by receiving the Sacrament of Baptism.
Through Baptism, Jesus cleanses us of all sin. We are born as a child
of God and become a member of the Church.
