AnswerSaint Augustine of Hippo developed the notion of 'original sin', which he said was the consequence of the sin of Adam and Eve. This doctrine was never adopted by the Orthodox Churches and has largely been rejected by the Protestant Churches, but is a cornerstone of Roman Catholic belief. Original sin can only be removed by baptism.
