The Catholic Catechism says the following:
CCC#405: Although it is proper to each individual, original sin does not have the character of a personal fault in any of Adam's descendants.
CCC#417: Adam and Eve transmitted to their descendants human nature wounded by their own first sin and hence deprived of original holiness and justice; this deprivation is called "original sin".
How does Orthodoxy view the fall? Is the part in red an acceptable description, or is something amiss with it?
Also, I thought that at one time, the Roman Catholic church accepted the idea of the guilt of Adam being ascribed to all persons under the heading of "Original Sin." Now I am being told that this is no longer a teaching of their church. Any X-Catholics care to comment on this?
