Marcus Grodi and Msgr. Jeffrey Steenson continue their journey through the 2nd century Christian work Against Heresies by St. Irenaeus of Lyons.

St. Irenaeus reflects on Original Sin, and its implications for salvation history, all the way up to the temptation of Christ himself. Satan has always sought to disrupt God’s plan, and especially to ruin humanity, the crown of God’s creation. But that old original enmity between God and Satan, even though it appears to be a conflict in progress to us who are alive, is a victory that no one but God can possibly win in the end.
