I. Respect for Human Life
2259
In the account of Abel’s murder by his brother Cain,57 Scripture reveals
the presence of anger and envy in man, consequences of original sin, from the
beginning of human history. Man has become the enemy of his fellow man. God
declares the wickedness of this fratricide: “What have you done? the voice
of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. and now you are cursed
from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood
from your hand.”58
