Kawaii, I read your first sentence. I keep seeing this charge made by the Orthodox, but I don't see it substantiated. It is a bit frustrating, as if a disagreement is continually being manufactured on the grounds of a straw man. If I were doing that to you, I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it either.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I just don't see in Catholic documents (though I'm no expert!) the position on original sin that the Orthodox construe Catholicism as having. I would like to see the Orthodox either provide the hard evidence for their charge, or simply refrain from making the charge.

I don't want any division in Christ's Body, especially any that is based on a misunderstanding or a merely perceived disagreement. I'm sure we agree on that.
