In addition to turning the English language on its
head by re-defining casteism, it looks like you have
moved on to re-defining morality in the Catholic
Catechism.

Our religion does not say that only two were "born
moral". It says that they were born without original
sin, an arcane religious concept. In practical terms
even this conceptual "problem" is easily fixed through
Baptism well before the newborn is capable of anything
that a reasonable person would consider to be
immorality.
