*Unlike personal sin, original sin is not an evil thing we’ve done but an absence of God’s grace in our souls. (Trent Horn)
CCC 404 Original sin is called "sin" only in an analogical sense: it is a sin "contracted" and not "committed" - a state and not an act.
CCC 404 The whole human race is in Adam "as one body of one man"...all men are implicated in Adam's sin, as all are implicated in Christ's justice. Still, the transmission of original sin is a mystery that we cannot fully understand.
CCC 411 The Christian tradition sees in this passage an announcement of the "New Adam" who, because he "became obedient unto death, even death on a cross", makes amends superabundantly for the disobedience, of Adam.
…through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you” (1 Pet. 1:4)
