Article 1 MAN: THE IMAGE OF GOD

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1707
“Man, enticed by the Evil One, abused his freedom at the very beginning of
history.”¹⁰ He succumbed to temptation and did what was evil. He
still desires the good, but his nature bears the wound of original sin. He is
now inclined to evil and subject to error:
Man is divided in himself. As a result, the whole life of men, both individual
and social, shows itself to be a struggle, and a dramatic one, between good and
evil, between light and darkness.¹¹
