Concupiscence
The pull toward sin that lingers in fallen human nature — but is it itself a sin?
Concupiscence is the disordered desire or inclination to sin that remains in fallen human nature, a theme developed especially by Augustine. The traditions differ over its status after baptism: Catholic teaching holds that concupiscence remaining in the baptized is not itself sin, though it inclines toward sin, while much Protestant teaching regards this remaining disorder as truly sinful. The disagreement bears on how each tradition understands grace and ongoing struggle.
