Excuse my ignorance, but didn't they already do this a couple years ago? I seem to recall a couple articles on it maybe four, five years ago. Or were they just considering it?

The article, posted above, says:

The Church however has for a long time stopped referring to the concept Limbo and in 1984 theologian Joseph Ratzinger, elected Pope Benedict XVI in April last year, said that Limbo "was never a truth of the faith."

"I would let it drop as this has always only been a theological hypothesis," he said.

Yes, I read the article, but I seemed to recall something about Pope John Paul II doing much the same as Benedict is doing now.
