I don't understand how the pope can just make a proclamation changing a belief, unless he or the church comes to understand the Bible differently from what they did in the past.

It is my understanding that Limbo was never considered a foundational or Biblical teaching. It was put forward by Thomas Aquinas to explain a dilemma. It stuck, so now the Pope is having the matter revisited.

Thanks. I guess it's obvious I'm not Catholic. I would like to study Aquinas, though.
