[Mrs. Don-o]

There are some on this thread who evidently think Original Sin is the sin "of" the new baby human. It is not. They think it makes all humans totally depraved. It does not. Rather, it is the sin of our "Original" Parents, Adam and Eve. Hence the term "original."

It does not at imply culpability of personal guilt on the part of any infant, anywhere, at any time.

Duterte seems ignorant of these facts.

Yes, "original sin" really is quite wimpy and disappointing compared to innate total depravity. But the Catholic Church had to have an excuse to "replace" the previously-existing G-d authored religion with something else. Total depravity implies the futility of all human action and effort. So they came up with something that fit their needs just right: man had fallen enough that the already existing G-d authored religion couldn't save him, but the new one would.

Given the choice between a Biblical and a post-Biblical moral code/ceremonial, I choose the Biblical.
