Time to do away with limbo

The Catholic Church under Pope Benedict XVI may finally get rid of this outdated and I think wrong doctrine. Limbo had been deempazied over the last forty years as the Globe and Mail reports but not done away with entirely.

What I could never understand is that unbaptized babies not going to heaven. They are innocents and Jesus in the Gospel says let the children come to me. I always felt that was a contradiction and that God would embrace these members of his family. Pope John Paul II in 1992 catechism said-

"As regards children who have died without baptism, the church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them."

I think that would only be right. Go and read the entire article.
