Paragraph 7. THE FALL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

411
The Christian tradition sees in this passage an announcement of the “New
Adam” who, because he “became obedient unto death, even death on a
cross”, makes amends superabundantly for the disobedience, of
Adam.³⁰⁵ Furthermore many Fathers and Doctors of the Church have seen
the woman announced in the “Proto-evangelium” as Mary, the mother of
Christ, the “new Eve”. Mary benefited first of all and uniquely from
Christ’s victory over sin: she was preserved from all stain of original sin and
by a special grace of God committed no sin of any kind during her whole earthly
life.³⁰⁶
