Interesting read on Augustine here:
http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/articles/article8153.asp

You're quote from Romans is hardly explicit to indicate the concept of inherited sin as opposed to inherited will to rebel against God (sin). The Orthodox church reject the doctrine of original sin and the filioque of Saint Augustine. The Bishop of Rome holds to this doctrine.

Why would I want to go to Orthodox sources to read about Augustine? Please. Frankly, your sources that you place links to our quite biased and refer to us as heretics. Why would I think that I'd get an accurate account from such a source that argues in a circle?

I am not sure I understand your distinction between "inherited sin" vs. "inherited will to sin" If we are in Adam, we inherit his sin, just as we are in the Second Adam, we inherit His Justice. Or are you saying that we only inherit Christ's will to be follow Him?

What is the filioque of St. Augustine?

regards
