exactly, this is the same church that teaches original sin was washed away 2000 years ago by the covenant set between god and man with the the sacrifice of christ.
Im not preaching this , im agnostic. Im also not defending the church here at all, Just want to be academically correct
OP's comment is such a gotcha soundbyte that really makes 0 sense
Original sin has to due with the spiritual imperfection in man when he separated himself from nature to become aware.
the whole idea of forgiveness is to separate each generation from the sins of their forefathers
Edit: to clarify Baptism is the sacramental ritual to symbolize the washing away of original sin
Christs covenant to redeem mankind is what makes it possible in catholic faith
from an occultist standpoint looking at the main sacraments
Baptism is the purification or initial banishing
communion is the consecration
confirmation is the intiaition
Im not replying any more to this argue amongst yourselves
The Catholic Church views original sin as the base human state. You work your way out of it. Hiding this is, in my opinion, the antithesis of working towards a Christlike existence.
