Best Answer

According to Catholic teachings, when Satan tempted Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, and she gave the fruit to Adam, all humans from then on were tainted with sin, namely "Original Sin." We baptize young ones to cleanse them of Original Sin, giving them a clean slate. Also, if one is baptized late in life, they are cleansed of ALL sins they have committed.
