In this episode of The Sacramentalists Podcast, we explore why concupiscence is not considered sin from an Anglo-Catholic perspective. Join us as we define concupiscence and sin, examine scriptural distinctions between inclination and willful sin, and delve into teachings from Church Fathers like St. Augustine and theologians like St. Thomas Aquinas. We discuss how concupiscence, though a remnant of original sin, is an involuntary inclination rather than a conscious act against God’s will. This episode brings clarity to a nuanced theological topic and highlights how grace and sacraments aid in our struggle with human inclinations. Perfect for anyone interested in understanding the Anglo-Catholic approach to human nature, original sin, and moral theology! We would love to hear from you!
