II. Dying in Christ Jesus
1008
Death is a consequence of sin. the Church’s Magisterium, as authentic
interpreter of the affirmations of Scripture and Tradition, teaches that death
entered the world on account of man’s sin.569 Even though man’s nature
is mortal God had destined him not to die. Death was therefore contrary to the
plans of God the Creator and entered the world as a consequence of sin.570
“Bodily death, from which man would have been immune had he not
sinned” is thus “the last enemy” of man left to be
conquered.571
