Council of Trent’s teaching:
Canon
5. If any one denies,
that, by the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ, which is conferred in baptism, the
guilt of
original sin is remitted; or even asserts that the whole
of that which
has the true and proper nature of sin is not taken away;
but says
that it is only rased, or not imputed; let him be
anathema. For, in
those who are born again, there is nothing that God
hates;
because, There is no condemnation to those who are truly
buried
together with Christ by baptism into death; who walk not
according
o the flesh, but, putting off the old man, and putting on
the new
who is created according to God, are made innocent,
immaculate,
pure, harmless, and beloved of God, heirs indeed of God,
but joint
heirs with Christ; so that there is nothing whatever to
retard their
entrance into heaven.
Church’s teaching: Consistently the
Church teaches that concupiscence
is not sin but a wounding of the nature of man.
