CCC 375

The Church, interpreting the symbolism of biblical language in an authentic way, in the light of the New Testament and Tradition, teaches that our first parents, Adam and Eve, were constituted in an original "state of holiness and justice". Cf. Council of Trent (1546): DS — Denzinger–Schönmetzer (Enchiridion Symbolorum). This grace of original holiness was "to share in. . .divine life". Cf. LG 2.
