where unbaptised babies go when they die? Are they going to roll dice for the answer or pray for God to give them a sign? Absurd or logical? What do you think?

VATICAN CITY -- Vatican theologians are leaning toward revising centuries-old teaching that babies who die without baptism go to limbo instead of heaven.
''All of us have hope for the babies'' that they will go to heaven, under the revised thinking on limbo, said the Rev. Luis Ladaria, a Jesuit who is secretary-general of the Vatican's International Theological Commission.
No formal Catholic doctrine - The commission, which advises the pope, has spent the week debating limbo in view of preparing a document. Although Catholics have long believed that children who die without being baptized still have original sin and are thus excluded from heaven, the church has no formal doctrine on the matter.
