Systematic Index

1023 f., 1079, 1671 ff., 3018; which is not transformation into God 510, or into the Only Begotten Son of God 511 ff., 520 ff., nor is it identification with the humanity of Christ 520 ff., nor a manifestation of being itself in the fullness of its real form 1926; but it is an ordering to a supernatural end 1786 (unapproachable to reason without revelation 1669), which consists in the vision and fruition of God 530, 693; to which man ought to tend through supernatural acts 180, 190, 198, 714, 809, 842, 1002, 1004 f., 1011 ff., 1023, 1027; for this reason a distinction is to be made between works naturally (morally) good and works meritorious of a supernatural end 190, 1008, 1034, 1036 ff., 1061 f., 1065, 1289 f., 1394, 1524.

The natural is perfected by the supernatural order 2206, 2224, 2237.

ORIGINAL MAN

(The State of Integral Nature)

VII b The first man was formed without sin 316, 793, in sanctity and justice 788; he had free will 133, 186, 316, 793, and supernatural gifts 1008, 1024, of integrity 192, 1026, 2123, 2212, and of immortality 101, 175, 788, 793, 1006, 1078, 1517, 2123, 2212.

The grace (justice) of the first man was not a consequence of creation nor due to nature itself 1008, 1023 ff., 1026, 1385 ff., but God could have created man without this supernatural grace 1021, 1023 f., 1079, 1516 f., even such as he is now born 1055.

To preserve the original state man needed grace 192, 1001 ff.; and his merits were not merely human and natural 1001 ff., 1007, 1009, 1384.

ORIGINAL SIN

VII c Man at the suggestion of the devil sinned 428. Adam lost through (originating) sin sanctity and justice and was wholly changed for the worse in body and soul 174, 200b, 788, 2123, 2212, was made a "mass of perdition" 316, under the power of the devil 788, 793.

The fall of Adam hurt not only himself, but from it his whole progeny contracted sin (original) 102, 109a, 130, 144*, 175, 316, 348, 376, 536, 574a, 711, 789 ff., 793, 1643 ff.; which nevertheless does not consist in concupiscence, which in an improper sense is called sin 792.

Original sin is passed on not by imitation but by propagation or generation from the seed of Adam 109a, 711, 790 f., 795, 2229; it is true sin 101, 174 f., 789 ff., 3018, 3028, and guilt of sin, not only of penalty 376; it is proper to everyone 790, 795, although not personal 532; it is in children themselves 102, 410, 532, 791; equally of Christians and infidels 534; it is voluntary, not by the habitual will of the child 1048, but by reason of origin 1047, and it differs from actual sin by reason of consent 410, and also by reason of penalty, which for original sin alone is the lack of the vision of God 410, since non-baptized children are condemned indeed (with the penalty of damnation) yet they did not hate God in act 1049, nor did they suffer the penalty of fire (sense) 493a, 1526.

Original sin is taken away in the baptism of regeneration 101 f., 109a, 160b, 329, 348, 790 ff., which must be received at least in desire 388, 413.

A man should not do penance throughout his whole life for original sin 1309.

The Blessed Virgin Mary did not at all contract original sin; see VIIIk.

FALLEN MAN

(The Consequences of Original Sin. The State of Fallen Nature.)

VII d Man through the sin of Adam was changed for the worse 188, 195, 200b, 1643 f.; he was made mortal 101, 109a, 175, 793, and under the power of the devil 711, 788, 793, prevented from entering heaven 711, subject to eternal death 734.

His intellect was obscured 195, 788, 1616, 1627, 1634, 1643, 1670.
