"Leaving these children to the mercy of God, as the Catechism suggests, is a wise thing and, indeed, the only thing we can do."

I agree with you, except it's not the only thing we 'can' do, it's the only thing we 'should' do. In the past we would have said "it's a mystery", and left it at that.

But, TPTB have decided it needs further defining in order to fit their niche. Is there any doubt how this will turn out? Said souls will be depicted surrounding the throne of God.

It is rather the parents and society who are responsible for this situation that should be coming under scrutiny and investigation, and leave the final dispositon of the innocents to God.

If the babies are denied Baptism, and even life, by 'so-called' Christians, then it is they that the Church should make a pronouncement on. They certainly cannot be allowed into Heaven if they have denied entrance of another soul. I hope those lost souls are there to accuse them at the Judgement.

The Church should be making judgement on the living, not the dead. But we won't be hearing much about that will we?

Criticize the commission when they say something that stupid. Don't you see the logical circle?
1. The Novus Ordo church is evil.
2. Hence, any issue the Novus Ordo church considers, it must consider in an evil way
3. Hence, any decision by the Novus Ordo must be evil.
4. Hence, the Novus Ordo will promulgate an evil doctrine.
5. The promulgation of such an evil doctrine proves that the Novus Ordo church is evil.

You would deny heaven to the mother of a stillborn baby?
