Latin

Quid est quod dicit: "Non peccat iste qui nascitur, non peccat ille qui genuit, non peccat iste qui condidit; per quas rimas inter tot praesidia innocentiae peccatum fingis ingressum?". Quid quaerit latentem rimam, cum habeat apertissimam ianuam? Per unum hominem, ait Apostolus; per unius delictum, ait Apostolos; per inoboedientiam unius hominis, ait Apostolus. Quid quaerit amplius? quid quaerit apertius? quid quaerit inculcatius?
