"Limbo" - the Italian word for the limbus patrum cannot be "abolished" - it exists and is a perennial doctrine of the Church from the earliest times.

St. Peter mentions it in his first epistle 3:18-20.

So how many things has the media reported to be on the pope's agenda which haven't come to pass? The press is as accurate as a blindfolded dart-throwing drunk riding a merry-go-round.

Perhaps he met with them privately and referred them to the Catechism. Maybe they haven't had time to read it yet:

1261 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. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,"64 allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism.

64 Mk 10 14; cf. 1 Tim 2:4.
