Nope, just wondering what other pieces of doctrine are optional. You have some evidence where limbo for unbaptized infants was proclaimed and declared infallibly as a dogma of the Catholic faith?
Or are you just talking out of ignorance?
Limbo for infants was and is a theological speculation. We have no Divine Revelation on this subject. We are free to have ideas about the subject, but none has been declared as revealed truth.

Every time stuff like this comes up, that infalliblilty sphere gets smaller and smaller. If I were to send this article to my 70 year old Catholic parents, they would think it was a lie.

According to the article posted by NYer Limbo was defined in the 1904 Edition of the Catechism:
Limbo under threat from Vatican theologians

According to the 1904 catechism published by Pope St Pius X in 1904, "children who died without baptism go to the limbo where they do not enjoy God but don't suffer either as having the original sin, and only that, they do not deserve Paradise nor Hell or Purgatory".
I have never seen, nor can I find such an edition on-line, but if one exists and such a teaching was included wouldn't that be classified as an "infallible" teaching?
