Truth hurts. I’ve seen how women are toxic to one another in the workplace and social life in ways men are not. I have no interest in efforts to over-correct for past injustices. As I grow older and more experienced in life, I better understand the story of Adam, Eve and the Garden of Eden. Whether literal fact or ancient allegory, anyone can see why the snake approached Eve and she persuaded Adam. It reflects a Human Truth.

I’m the same way about original sin. I started my adulthood not believing in original sin. Why would something someone else did wrong mean that I’m naturally evil? Enough time observing people, including me, has taught me that people are born selfish. I think the garden of Eden story is allegory, but it doesn’t matter.
Original sin is real, and we can’t receive what has been offered to us without rejecting our natural instincts.
Sure does. Bishop Fulton Sheen expanded on this- the power women have to persuade culture. Negatively as well as positively.
