What do you then call the state that in which the souls of the Patriarchs were held, the Bosom of Abraham, while awaiting Christ's opening gates of Heaven?I cannot improve on RnMomof7's great and Scriptural answer. She knows her Bible...
Rnmomof7: That is not a PLACE; it is a position -- as if reclining on Abraham.
Mat 8:11 "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."

Natural Law did not say that it is a place. He called it a state, which is more accurate than 'position'.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
