there's a mistake. The council of Trent didn't say that sin is propagated and not imitated, but it rather said that ORIGINAL SIN is propagated and not imitated:
3. If any one asserts, that this sin of Adam,--which in its origin is one, and being transfused into all by propogation, not by imitation, is in each one as his own, --is taken away either by the powers of human nature, or by any other …More
there's a mistake. The council of Trent didn't say that sin is propagated and not imitated, but it rather said that ORIGINAL SIN is propagated and not imitated:
3. If any one asserts, that this sin of Adam,--which in its origin is one, and being transfused into all by propogation, not by imitation, is in each one as his own, --is taken away either by the powers of human nature, or by any other remedy than the merit of the one mediator, our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath reconciled us to God in his own blood, made unto us justice, santification, and redemption; or if he denies that the said merit of Jesus Christ is applied, both to adults and to infants, by the sacrament of baptism rightly administered in the form of the church; let him be anathema: For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be [Page 23] saved. Whence that voice; Behold the lamb of God behold him who taketh away the sins of the world; and that other; As many as have been baptized, have put on Christ.
I think that personal sin does have a relationship with imitation. We are born with a tendency to sin from original sin, which is not from imitation but from propagation, but the ways this tendency manifests itself is very often from imitation of one other people doing it, and withdrawing a person who is tempted to sin from that influence can help them not to commit it.
God bless,
