" THE Pope will cast aside centuries of Catholic belief later this week by abolishing formally the concept of limbo, in a gesture calculated to help to win the souls of millions of babies in the developing world for Christ."

lol. I wonder how he'll try to finesse this, appeasing all sides by saying nothing too definitive. A little something for everyone.

Ratzinger is going to Britain because the papacy is dwindling in all industrialized countries. In Britain, it's just about extinguished and that's why he hopes to snag disgruntled Anglicans. Thankfully, the crowds have been much less than what was earlier projected by Rome.

This act of fudging limbo is just one more step in making it easier for Anglicans to cross the Tiber, who might foolishly believe Rome is just like them, only head by an "infallible" "alter Christus."

The devil's in the details.

I'm glad to see the Holy Spirit is keeping your attention on the Church and that you continue to hold it to a higher standard than you do Protestant and non-Christian faiths.

Eventually you will lift the coins from your eyes and listen to what the Holy Spirit is persistently trying to tell you; that your Salvation lies in Rome. Why else would a non-Catholic spend so many, many hours on Catholic topic threads if not lead to them by the Holy Spirit.

It just amazes me that something taught AS FACT for hundreds of years was not "doctrine" so it can just be eliminated at the will of the pope..
