The Protestant Reformation bears a striking resemblance to the Tower of Babel. A single monstrously diverse Church had grown like the Wind in between the Earth (the traditions of Monasticism, the Guilds, Feudalism among others) and the Sky (the ancient Druid, Jewish and Roman (and later Greek) fantasies, legends and ideals). Then, the Edifice that it had built, or tried to build, began to be undermined by a confounding of the “languages of theology”. Then all hell broke loose.
Two formalisms of Original Sin emerged, which I present as nested:
The Council of Trent reaffirmed Anselm and Aquinas:
Loss of Sanctifying Grace(acts of disobedience and injustice(human faculties “of nature”)
The Tradition of Luther proposed a variation:
Need to be Born Again(acts of unbelief(flawed faculties “of nature”)
