As you would also recall, the CCC already had "revisions" on a few items.

I quoted from the latest "revision."

Ordinary Magisterium is only as good as they adhere to constant teachings of the Church, especially on theological items specifically pronounced by Councils.

But, since no Council has made a definitive pronouncement on the fate of unbaptized infants, the Ordinary Magisterium will not be in error, whatever it says.

In all fairness, while "speculation" is allowed, they should be more careful and make mention of it whenever applicable.

The statement from the Catholic Catechism is clearly obscure, since there is no definitive teaching about the fate of unbaptized infants.

sinky, perhaps it never occured to you that you really look ridiculous not knowing piles of solid catechisms prior to this "different style CCC", in addition to not know what those previous Councils taught.

Oh, then again, pardon me, Your Kumbaya Church is only 40 years old. :-D
