How can the current pope over rule the ruling of a former pope?

Pope Pius X had declared in 1905: "Children who die without baptism go into limbo, where they do not enjoy God, but they do not suffer either, because having Original Sin, and only that, they do not deserve paradise, but neither hell or purgatory."

Now: THE Catholic Church is preparing to abandon the idea of limbo, the theological belief that children who die before being baptised are suspended in a space between heaven and hell

Did God lie to his original spokesman?

and is there a door viewer for St. Peter to gaze through to make sure it's all legit. These days you just can't be going around opening the door for strangers.

Or can a foreigner never reach a level that is the same as an individual who speaks the language as a native tongue?

Previously, I asked “what if I don’t want to go to heaven”
Also I made it clear that what if I choose not to exist?

Are you people telling me, that your beliefs from whatever religion, is so very narrow, that the God you believe in, to be your creator, would offer you just two choices?
Live in Heaven or Hell?
Has none of you ever questioned why that God gave you the power of thought and choice?
Some may end up in Hell or Heaven by their actions alone. But what if one, qualifies to enter Heaven, but chooses to say no! Your replies suggest that we are not of our free will; we do as we are told or go to Hell!
For pity sake, that’s nothing short of suggesting God has no respect for his wonderful creations, and thus will treat you as a puppet. That is not Gods teaching.
Show me something that would suggest my request would be denied, and tell me why you would accept that denial if it here on earth.

The spiritual supermarket, which is infested with these hope-sellers, has done roaring business in every age in almost every country in the world. But unlike we ordinary mortals, these holy men do not have to deliver the goods in this life time. All they have to do is make empty promises, which may or not come true in the life hereafter!

It is high time to inculcate cultural and moral values to children at the school education stage itself. It will add to their total personality development. It will help create a healthy society in future. It will reduce the crime rate. Will create a happy society and happy nation.

the way to heaven is through belief that jesus christ is your savior. however, the jews were the chosen people of god... does that mean they will not go to heaven? and since the word of god is eternal, how can the not be accepted into heaven even after jesus christ? and being omniscient, i'm sure he would have seen it coming that they condemn his 'son' and reject his teachings.

He' so wonderful, so loving, so forgiving, he gave his only son, he wants us to be good and not follow Satan.....so why are we expected to follow blindly? Why can't he just show up and prove who he claims to be?

Don't talk to me about the beauty of the earth and nature and how everything seems to work out and that it must be the work of God, there's scientific evidence to support all that...also known as FACTS. Don't quote the Bible either, give me YOUR words.

About the 144,000 people who will be saved? Why only 144,000? Where did that number come from? What will happen to all the other JWs? Are these predetermined people? Or what? Does it depend on how righteous you are? Or how well you follow the doctrine set forth by the leaders of JWs? Thanks for any insight.
