on Dec 28th, 2007Limbo Closed Until Further Notice - The Pope
“VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI has reversed centuries of traditional Roman Catholic teaching on limbo, approving a Vatican report released Friday that says there were “serious” grounds to hope that children who die without being baptized can go to heaven.

Although Catholics have long believed that children who die without being baptized are with original sin and thus excluded from heaven, the Church has no formal doctrine on the matter. Theologians, however, have long taught that such children enjoy an eternal state of perfect natural happiness, a state commonly called limbo, but without being in communion with God.”

Righttttttttttttttttttt. Should anyone take religion seriously these days? You can’t decide that 589719284xxx babies that died before 2007 and were not baptized went to LIMBO and now…
Well, now there’s a new place for dead babies! Hooray! The Pope has approved the “theory” of babies going to HEAVEN instead of LIMBO in their afterlives. Since the Pope is infallible, it must be true!!
One thing I’m really curious, do the babies in LIMBO have to do some migration work to be eligible to enter HEAVEN? Or do these babies in LIMBO stay in LIMBO forever, looking up at other babies that’s in communion with God in HEAVEN?

My point of this post is, there is no absolute truth in religion (not any religion in particular, all religion). The Bible is written by men, inspired by God, NOT written by God. Many would challenge me on that. But seriously, if man can decide that dead babies should go Heaven instead of “Limbo”, or, “Limbo” existed and cease to exist after 2007, then man can in the future decide that gay marriage is accepted by God, or Heaven is a non-existent place, or finally decide which of the Holy Trinity is God. How can religion and believes be changed so easily by majority consensus and social pressures and acceptance? But it does . . . (like when Islamic extremist decide that Jihad means strapping yourself with a bomb and taking many innocent lives with you… there’s a word for it already morons, it’s called ATTENTION SEEKERS, there’s nothing holy about committing suicide).
