Grim anniversary …

… Informal Inquiries (2nd edition): Witch hunting begins in Salem in 1692.

Once you accept the theory of Original Sin this sort of thing — and much else besides — makes sense.

    Regarding original sin:
    Catholic Church declares "Baptism, by imparting the life of Christ's grace, erases original sin and turns a man back towards God, but the consequences for nature, weakened and inclined to evil, persist in man and summon him to spiritual battle."[11] "Weakened and diminished by Adam's fall, free will is yet not destroyed in the race"[12]
    If it can be erased, doesn’t this admit its existence ?
    I suspect witch hunting derives more from absolute belief in Satan’s existence and powers. That belief puzzles me.
