"Ezekiel 18 contradicts the Council of Orange's declaration of the doctrine of Original Sin."

I can't follow you. What are you attempting to demonstrate by citing the Council of Orange, which was convened nearly 800 years before the birth of St. Thomas Aquinas to prove Aquinas wrong. The Council of Orange addressed the necessity of Grace and rejected double predestination. Only a Calvinist interpretation of Ezekiel, rejected by both mainstream Protestantism and Catholicism, can come to the conclusion that the Council of Orange contradicts Ezekiel.

Peace be with you

The Council of Orange is the Council which declared the concept of Original Sin a doctrine of Roman Catholicism. The Council was affected by the influence of Augustine rather than Pelagius who was unable to show up.

The doctrine declares that the progeny of Adam are defective and no longer in the image of God, as punishment for the sin of Adam. Ezekiel 18 thoroughly contradicts the possibility of Augustine's claims. The Jews never believed in, or held such a concept, except as an ad hominum, as God points out in John 9.
