→Ryan Close's deletion
From the Council of Trent V:
"5. If any one denies, that, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is conferred in baptism, '''the guilt of original sin is remitted'''; or even asserts that the whole of that which has the true and proper nature of sin is not taken away; but says that it is only rased, or not imputed; let him be anathema." I would ask that the slander against St John Maximovitch one removed. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] ([[User talk:Fr Lev|talk]]) 16:33, March 30, 2018 (UTC)
I undid Ryan's change. The Latin text of the papal bull defining the dogma of the Immaculate Conception clearly indicates it is related to keeping the Theotokos free from the '''guilt''' of original sin.
"We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful." But here "stain" is translating culpae (guilt).
See the Latin: Declaramus, pronuntiamus et definimus doctrinam quae tenet beatissimam Virginem Mariam in primo instanti suae conceptionis fuisse singulari Omnipotentis Dei gratia et privilegio, intuitu meritorum Christi Jesu Salvatoris humani generis, '''ab omni originalis culpae labe praeservatam immunem''', esse a Deo revelatam, atque idcirco ab omnibus fidelibus firmiter constanterque credendam.
