God, in forming our first parents, adorned them with an extraordinary beauty of body consonant with the dignity proper to those created in His image and likeness: souls and bodies alike wrought in original justice, harmoniously ordered, and wholly befitting the nobility of their divine origin. Their bodies possessed a beauty and proportion exceeding anything now visible in fallen humanity. Yet by their transgression this glory was forfeited, and what remained was but a shadow of that primal beauty and order: disease, deformity, corruption, and death entering as conquerors into a nature made for glory.
