Council of Trent, June 17, 1546 Decree Concerning Original Sin
Canon 2. If anyone does not confess that the
first man, Adam, when he transgressed the commandment of God in paradise, immediately
lost the holiness
and justice in which he had been constituted, and through the offense of that prevarication incurred
the wrath and indignation of god, and thus death with which God had
previously threatened him, and, together with death, captivity under his power
who thenceforth had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil, and that the entire Adam
through that offense of prevarication was changed in body and soul for the worse, let him be anathema.
