Those changes certainly took place, but that’s not the “stain of Original Sin”. The stain is removed by Baptism, but those things are not.What I mean is the physiological changes that occurred to the human body when it was no longer animated by a soul in possession of the preternatural gifts. The body now moved of it’s own volition. Involuntary movements of the body informed the intellect of the change in state. It was the body that made our fallen state visible and consequently, our falleness realized caused the experience of shame that for us is inherent to our state. The change from life to death caused our bodies to respond to our earthly life in the same ways the lesser animal bodies do. Which is not natural for us since it is not a natural state for the body and soul to seperate. So, it’s fallen modus operati’ became survival.
This is what I’m thinking could be called the stain of sin.
Peace and God bless!
