As the Catechism says, we entrust them to a loving and just God. We have never believed they go to hell; the only question is how they can gain heaven. I believe there are several hypotheses proposed, but I'm not conversant with them in detail so I won't comment further.

Sure that's what the Catholic church teaches and what Catholics believe, that unbaptized babies who die go to Limbo. It may not be technically *official* church doctrine, but that IS what the Catholic church teaches and that IS what Catholics believe. We're not wrong for relating what we know to be true. Your beef is with the diocese which teaches wrong.

I quoted to you from a Catholic Catechism...no commitment to a loving God, but a clear statement
Q. 631. Is Baptism necessary to salvation?
A. Baptism is necessary to salvation, because without it we cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.
The Baltimore Catchecism [1891]
So if Catholic doctrine is never changing this says CLEARLY that an unbaptized baby can not enter heaven, ir there is no "limbo" there is only one other place..hell
