We are right in our description of original sin when we say that it is not being able to believe God and not being able to fear and love God. We are right when we say that it includes concupiscense, which seeks fleshly things contrary to God's Word. This means when it seeks not only the pleasures of the body, but also fleshly wisdom and righteousness.
~BOC, AP, II (I), 26
