How does original sin impact modern culture?

The Catholic Church still affirms the doctrine of original sin. For more than 1,500 years the Church has maintained that the sin of Adam in the Garden of Eden was passed on to every subsequent human being. This meant that every baby was born bad, with its inherent human nature corrupted and attracted to sin. Ernie Rea discusses whether or not original sin is still having an impact on modern society and culture.
