CM1.5

describe “self-mastery” and show why reason should govern, but not repress, human passions [CCC nos. 1762-1775]; also, explain how the grace of our life in Christ heals these consequences of original sin: “moral blind spots" (i.e., clouding of human reason and conscience), and "concupiscence” (i.e., the will's inclination toward evil, to act against reason, and wrongly seek happiness in hedonism, excessive wealth, possessions, power, fame, etc.) [Romans 5, 6; Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics Book 10; St. Augustine Contra Julianum Book 2]
