Youcat commented through CCC - Question n. 69 - Part I.
(Youcat
answer) No. Man, though, is deeply wounded by original sin and is inclined to
sin. Nevertheless, with God’s help he is capable of doing
good.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 405)
Although it is proper to each individual (Cf. Council of Trent: DS 1513),
original sin does not have the character of a personal fault in any of Adam's
descendants. It is a deprivation of original holiness and justice, but human
nature has not been totally corrupted: it is wounded in the natural powers
proper to it, subject to ignorance, suffering and the dominion of death, and
inclined to sin - an inclination to evil that is called concupiscence".
Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, erases original sin and turns
a man back towards God, but the consequences for nature, weakened and inclined
to evil, persist in man and summon him to spiritual battle.
Reflecting and meditating
(Youcat comment) In no single
case are we obliged to sin. In fact, however, we sin again and again, because
we are weak, ignorant, and easily misled. A sin committed under compulsion,
moreover, would be no sin, because sin always involves a free decision.
(CCC Comment)
(CCC
1263) By Baptism all sins are forgiven, original sin and
all personal sins, as well as all punishment for sin (Cf. Council of Florence
(1439): DS 1316). In those who have been reborn nothing remains that would
impede their entry into the Kingdom of God, neither Adam's sin, nor personal
sin, nor the consequences of sin, the gravest of which is separation from God. 1263
