This truth has been confirmed by the Church through centuries, issuing unequivocal judgments in this matter, which remain valid until today. The teaching of the synod in Carthage (411), which speaks directly of the eternal condemnation of people who died in original sin, is confirmed by successive synods, councils and contemporary documents of the Church. This is also the teaching of the Catechism. The fundamental problem is that Magisterium links the teaching of original sin with the&nbsp;unscientific&nbsp;truth about human origins present on the pages of the Bible. At the same time, learning about original sin is the&nbsp;indispensable&nbsp;basis for the preaching of salvation.&nbsp;The&nbsp;conflict (or at least the tension) between science and faith is obvious, and the attempts made do not seem to notice the essence of the problem or&nbsp;it is treated in a banal way. It is difficult to justify, however, that it is the result of the offence&nbsp;of one human couple. Therefore, it is necessary to debate the reality of &nbsp;"original sin" and to reconcile it with the modern state of knowledge.</p> ER -
