Tag: Original Sin

I have friends in the charismatic movement who speak of healing the family tree, when there has been serious sin in a previous generation which has supposedly affected a descendant. I can’t understand the logic of this practice. Is there any basis for it?

Dear Father, are Catholics supposed to believe that original sin was committed by a single pair of humans, called Adam and Eve? If so, how was the sin passed on to their offspring? I have never understood this.
