Every Limbo Boy and Girl All Around The Limbo World...

Even as a child being raised in the Catholic faith I found the notion of limbo, and for that matter, purgatory, heaven and hell to be preposterous. It's incredible that supposedly intelligent folk are still having these discussions in 2006. What a bunch of idiots.
- Church bending on limbo: "This month, 30 top theologians from around the world met at the Vatican to discuss, among other quandaries, the problem of what happens to babies who die without baptism. What they were really doing, as theological advisers to Pope Benedict XVI, was finally disposing of limbo, a concept that was never official church doctrine but has been an enduring medieval theory of a blissful state among the departed, somehow different from both heaven and hell.
Unlike purgatory, a sort of waiting room to heaven for those with some venial faults, the theory of limbo consigned children outside of heaven on account of original sin alone. As a concept, limbo has long been out of favour, as theologically questionable and unnecessarily harsh. It is hard to imagine depriving innocents of heaven. These days it prompts more snickers than anything."
