All Feel The Effects Of Sin

All of us feel the effects of sin. “Death spread to all men because all men sinned” (Rom 5:12). However, all are offered salvation in Jesus Christ. “One man’s act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men” (Rom 5:18).

This overwhelming misery which oppresses is connected with the fact that Adam’s sin has been transmitted to all at birth. This sin is the “death of the soul.” Therefore, the Church baptizes even tiny infants “for the remission of sins” (Council of Trent).
