USCCB - Catechesis in the Catholic Church

Catechism of the Catholic Church

a,b,c, and e. Para. 400: The harmony in which they had found themselves, thanks to original justice, is now destroyed: the control of the soul's spiritual faculties over the body is shattered; the union of man and woman becomes subject to tensions, their relations henceforth marked by lust and domination (Cf. Gen 3: 7-16). Harmony with creation is broken: visible creation has become alien and hostile to man (Cf. Gen 3:17,19). Because of man, creation is now subject "to its bondage to decay" (Rom 8:21). Finally, the consequence explicitly foretold for this disobedience will come true: man will "return to the ground" (Gen 3:19; cf. 2:17), for out of it he was taken. Death makes its entrance into human history (Cf. Rom 5:12).
