SORU:

What does massa damnata mean in Augustine's works?


CEVAP:

Massa damnata means “mass of perdition, condemned crowd”; Augustine uses this to remind us of the original sin (Adam’s sin), which is transmitted by concupiscence, or “hurtful desire”, resulting in humanity becoming massa damnata, with much restricted-but not fully destroyed freedom of will. When Adam sinned, human nature was transformed accordingly.
