Ever since Adam and Eve committed the first sin of the world, everyone except for Mary and Jesus were born with Original Sin. Original sin is passed on through the generations on our souls, and the only way to get rid of Original Sin is through baptism. After we are baptized, Original Sin is taken away but it leaves Concupiscence which is basically like a scar. The Catholic teaching on Original Sin is, "the sin that Adam committed and a consequence of this first sin, the hereditary stain with which we are born on account of our origin or descent from Adam" (Catholic View).
