Article 9 THE NINTH COMMANDMENT
2515
Etymologically, “concupiscence” can refer to any intense form of
human desire. Christian theology has given it a particular meaning: the
movement of the sensitive appetite contrary to the operation of the human
reason. the apostle St. Paul identifies it with the rebellion of the
“flesh” against the “spirit.”301 Concupiscence stems
from the disobedience of the first sin. It unsettles man’s moral faculties and,
without being in itself an offense, inclines man to commit sins.302
