"Limbo" - the Italian word for the
limbus patrum cannot be "abolished" - it exists and is a perennial doctrine of the Church from the earliest times.
St. Peter mentions it in his first epistle 3:18-20.

Please explain how this passage is referring to what is today called limbo. Thanks.

That's always been a confusing couple of verses to me. Do you think Christ was preaching to the dead in order to give them a second chance at eternal life? These were disobedient contemporaries of Noah--who obviously perished in the flood.
