Paragraph 7. THE FALL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

403
Following St. Paul, the Church has always taught that the overwhelming misery
which oppresses men and their inclination towards evil and death cannot be
understood apart from their connection with Adam’s sin and the fact that he has
transmitted to us a sin with which we are all born afflicted, a sin which is
the “death of the soul”.²⁹¹ Because of this certainty of
faith, the Church baptizes for the remission of sins even tiny infants who have
not committed personal sin.²⁹²
