Answer 1

What a ridiculous idea...
The church is clearly drowning in insanity....no surprise here......After all bunch of senile ,sexually frustrated old farts are in charge....

Answer 2

The Catholic Church has never claimed to have all the answers. There are many mysteries in Christianity.

One of these mysteries lies in the statement of Jesus Christ, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark 16:15-16)

For centuries, people have wondered about children who died before they were baptized. It may be true that unbaptized babies go to heaven but we cannot be sure because the Bible does not reveal this answer to us.

Limbo was suggested as the place where unbaptized babies went when they died. This idea was never official Church doctrine.

The Church has pondered the suggestion of Limbo for a few hundred years and has decided that it does not fall into the entire picture of God's loving plan of salvation as depicted in the Bible.

The Church now says that it is not sure what happens to unbaptized babies when they die but she entrusts them to the mercy of God.

I would think people would appreciate that the Church does not declare unbiblical things as doctrine without very serious thought and prayer.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

How does this one article, prove all our lies in this religion. Maybe you didn't read it right. It said that babies in limbo was not part of the church's doctrine. But it was thought that in the med evil times. It's like a old wives tale that has been passed to generation to generation. Doesn't mean that most people or celregy stands behind this notion. Don't twist things you don't understand. One article proves nothing. Whoopee there removing the notion of limbo, which was never on the church doctrine.

Answer 4

Where exactly is the lie in this statement?

"The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought into eternal happiness even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in revelation."

Answer 5

Sadly, Catholics cannot back all their teachings. They base their religious beliefs on traditions of men. You would wish honest hearted Catholics would examine their religion based on the Bible and then realize how their teachings are not backed by the Bible and then sincerely leave their religion. Jesus condemned the religious leaders in his day and so should soul-searching Catholics.

Answer 6

Limbo was never a confirmed doctrine.

Answer 7

Very funny. And another atheist was just complaining a few SECONDS ago about mean-spirited Christians.

Go back under your rock.

Answer 8

Catholicism can back up everything biblically and apostolically.

Stop crying.

Answer 9

It seems to me you may have a problem with Catholicism. Why question it ? Why not just mind your own beeswax?

Answer 10

How do you assume a *lock on truth*? ... You need tolerance!

Were Newton's Laws "lies" when Einstein overthrew them?

Answer 11

it's always been up to God.

Men will always try to find answers for that which cannot be explained.

Sometimes, these men are wrong.
