07 - Original Sin

Original sin can seem a little... unfair. Why do I have to suffer for something Adam and Eve did? Does the Catholic church teach that we're all born terrible people? (Spoiler: it doesn't.) In this episode we discuss the elevation and fall of man. This episode covers Part One, Section Two, Chapter One, Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=6WSCLFHLCDXH2Support us on ⁠Patreon⁠!Contact the podcast: [email protected].⁠Instagram⁠:https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/References and further reading/listening/viewing:The Catechism of the Catholic Church Pts. 355-421.Leo J.
