Paragraph 7. THE FALL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

400
The harmony in which they had found themselves, thanks to original justice, is
now destroyed: the control of the soul’s spiritual faculties over the body is
shattered; the union of man and woman becomes subject to tensions, their
relations henceforth marked by lust and domination.²⁸² Harmony with
creation is broken: visible creation has become alien and hostile to
man.²⁸³ Because of man, creation is now subject “to its bondage to
decay”.²⁸⁴ Finally, the consequence explicitly foretold for this
disobedience will come true: man will “return to the
ground”,²⁸⁵ for out of it he was taken. Death makes its entrance
into human history.²⁸⁶
