Original sin

===Council of Trent===
The [[Council of Trent]] (1545–1563), while not pronouncing on points disputed among Catholic theologians, condemned the teaching that in baptism the whole of what belongs to the essence of sin is not taken away, but is only cancelled or not imputed, and declared the concupiscence that remains after baptism not truly and properly "sin" in the baptized, but only to be called sin in the sense that it is of sin and inclines to sin.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ewtn.com/library/councils/trent5.htm |title=Paul III Council of Trent-5 |website=Ewtn.com |access-date=24 January 2017 |archive-date=22 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190622044114/http://www.ewtn.com/library/councils/trent5.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1567, soon after the close of the Council of Trent, [[Pope Pius V]] went beyond Trent by sanctioning Aquinas's distinction between nature and supernature in Adam's state before the Fall, condemned the identification of original sin with concupiscence, and approved the view that the unbaptized could have right use of will.{{sfn|Cross|1966|p=994}} The Catholic Encyclopedia refers: "Whilst original sin is effaced by baptism concupiscence still remains in the person baptized; therefore original sin and concupiscence cannot be one and the same thing, as was held by the early Protestants (see Council of Trent, Sess. V, can. v).".{{sfn|Harent|1911}}
