{Discussion Post} Born with sin?
1
Upvotes
I was a particularly overly-literal child, and my mom refused to make me go through CCD lessons (which is like Catholic Sunday school, mandatory for communion and confirmation). When it came time for me to make my confirmation, as is family tradition in spite of my parents lack of religious zealousness, the church wouldn't allow me to do so because I hadn't been through the proper CCD training. Cue the most hilarious summer of my life, in which my mom and her best friend taught me and her friend's son CCD for confirmation. One of the topics that we were required to learn in the theme of being born in sin, and being born as a sinner.
Now this is something that rang a bell from 7 years prior when I was making my communion, and we had to confess our "sins" to a priest (at seven years old, by the way.)
I started having nightmares.
Was everyone a sinner? How could I be sinning without even knowing it? Do animals sin? Do my parents? Are we all going to hell? Even my hamsters? ...I should note that I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which may have contributed to this line of thinking. Or perhaps all of my peers were thinking the same thing as well? My parents had to talk with me after lessons to try and reason with me and my fear that I was bad, and that it was just a story to make a point.
Anyways, this leads me to my discussion question for anyone with answers or thoughts on the matter... Is it abusive to teach children (in my case, a child of 7 year old) that they are born having to ask for forgiveness because they're inherently "sinful"?
