A concept rooted in Abrahamic faiths, ‘The Fallen World’ describes a world corrupted by sin, leading to suffering, death, and separation from God’s “original perfection”. In Catholicism, my faith, this event marked the origin of original sin, a condition believed to be inherited by all humanity. Despite its heaviness, the concept of the Fallen World also carries the possibility of redemption and salvation through Christ. While religious in origin, the Fallen World does not need to be taken as such. For a few years I’ve struggled with my faith, and so ‘The Fallen World,’ feels both close and distant at the same time.
