Resumen:
The claim of the Easter Proclamation that original sin is a ¿happy fall¿ (felix culpa) that earned us the Incarnation of the Son of God seems to virtually contain the elements for developing a ¿Greater God Theodicy,¿ according to which sin has been permitted by God ¿in order to¿ obtain some greater goods. In this paper I introduce four ways in which greater good theodicies can be drawn from the felix culpa claim: two ¿supralapsarian¿ ways (a deterministic and a Molinist one) and two ¿infralapsarian¿ ways (a conditional and a retrospective one). I consider the philosophical pros and cons of each proposal, showing that infralapsarian options are preferable.
