CATHOLICS PONDER END TO LIMBO

The Catholic Church is considering abolishing Limbo, a sort of shadowy fourth state of the afterlife, where the souls of unbaptized and aborted infants go, to keep company with the righteous Hebrew prophets who lived before Jesus Christ was born, the authoritative Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera, reports.

Limbo No

I do not know why they quoted a Rabbi, but this is what he said about it:

QUOTE
"Anytime a religious body of 1 billion people moves on the issue of the afterlife, it's very serious. This could be seen as part of an ongoing process, where the Roman Catholic faith is moving past a narrow, exclusionary view of other religions, toward a more pluralistic view.
Ref. DeseretNews.com


I however wonder why this sudden change that the Pope will ratify soon, it is after all one of their most known Doctrines with the word itself being used quite frequently by both Catholic and non-Catholic alike.

However, it was never an official doctrine nor was it ever universally believed in by Catholics.

POPE PROLONGS SUSPENSE ABOUT LIMBO

"Pope Benedict had decided to keep limbo in limbo a little longer," Reuters reported on Friday, demonstrating that few in the news business can resist a limbo joke.

Limbo No

I can't see how the Pope can change the Church's stance on Limbo, nor do I like the idea of Limbo for unbaptized infants.

I know for my husbands family, it tore their family raw with grief, when 2 of the family's babies died at separate times,from cot death, without being baptized, not only were the family told that their babies couldn't reach heaven, but they weren't even allowed to be buried on 'Catholic burial ground'.

This has always saddened me greatly to think of 2 babies in a separate cemetery, not ever being able to be buried with family members through no fault of their own.

CATHOLIC CHURCH SEES 'HOPE' FOR UNBAPTIZED BABIES

The Roman Catholic Church has revised its teaching on one of the major concepts of limbo, as Pope Benedict approved a church report Friday that said there are "grounds for hope" that unbaptized babies can go to heaven.

No Limbo

Well that is a MAJOR change in Catholic doctrine. This will bring belief to those who may have lost children who were not baptized, but at the same time it may make many question their faith in the Catholic Church where such specific doctrines that were taught for years can now be changed.
