Paragraph 7. THE FALL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

388
With the progress of Revelation, the reality of sin is also illuminated.
Although to some extent the People of God in the Old Testament had tried to
understand the pathos of the human condition in the light of the history of the
fall narrated in Genesis, they could not grasp this story’s ultimate meaning,
which is revealed only in the light of the death and Resurrection of Jesus
Christ.²⁶¹ We must know Christ as the source of grace in order to know
Adam as the source of sin. the Spirit-Paraclete, sent by the risen Christ, came
to “convict the world concerning sin”,²⁶² by revealing him
who is its Redeemer.
