After several years of study, the Vatican's International Theological Commission said there are good reasons to hope that babies who die without being baptized go to heaven.

Do they man that before all these years of study, there was no good reason to hope for the unbaptized babies?

No disrespect intended, but it boggles the mind to think that people get paid real money to conduct "years of study" of such an issue.

I went to limbo once on a vacation—it was so-so...not to bad, not to good...

actually, it’s been centuries of study.

Limbo never was official doctrine because it’s been debatable - and people debated and debated and debated.

It’s nice to see refreshing common sense here.

They probably had to answer the phone and make coffee, too.
