why is original sin "washed away" in the sacrament of baptism?​

Sagot :

Explanation:

The doctrine of original sin has little basis in the Bible. ... Instead the Catholic Church declares "Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, erases original sin and turns a man back towards God, but the consequences for nature, weakened and inclined to evil, persist in man and summon him to spiritual battle."
