Like me ..my mother in law would have killed any of us that took an UNBAPTIZED baby out of the house
Indeed Limbo was taught as IF it were doctrine to thousands of us ..and surely an unbaptized baby would go there ...so when you do away with limbo that means they would go to hell ...

LESSON TWELFTH ON BAPTISM

A. Actual sins and all the punishment due to them are remitted by Baptism, if the person baptized be guilty of any, and is rightly disposed.

On limbo
Thus the Council of Florence, however literally interpreted, does not deny the possibility of perfect subjective happiness for those dying in original sin, and this is all that is needed from the dogmatic viewpoint to justify the prevailing Catholic notion of the children's limbo, while from the standpoint of reason, as St. Gregory of Nazianzus pointed out long ago, no harsher view can be reconciled with a worthy concept of God's justice and other attributes.
Catholic encyclopedia
Yes, Limbo was widely taught (as about .01% of teaching!); where you are getting "when you do away with Limbo that means they would go to hell" I have no idea, especially in view of your closing quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia.
I’m still confused on your position. Do you believe/hold double predestination as true?
For those who claim to know all there is to know about Catholic teaching, the distinction between opinion and dogma is often overlooked. The emphasized words are important.
Catholics have unity alright. They’re all uniformly wrong, according to FRoman Catholics.
They have a bigger issue than *disunity* of beliefs from church to church or parishioner to parishioner.. They have whole churches full of people who are being taught things that the Vatican allegedly does not teach, that is allegedly (in some cases) not “official” church doctrine.
You can’t even get Catholics on this forum to agree about that little book Quix posted about Mary.
However, when you can find two passages within the Catechism of the Catholic Church which make diametrically opposite claims, you can tell any non-Catholic that they’re *wrong* about any church doctrine.
