“I was told that this is no longer Catholic teaching.”
So, because it is no longer taught that means it is not true? Was it true when it was taught? Or was it in error and something else is taught and that is true?
It’s pretty tough for men to try to interpret the God’s will. Although many have tried.......BTW. Where is “limbo” mentioned in the Bible?
Personally, I believe that my God is a loving God and as such would welcome unborn children into his kingdom. But what do I know. Then again I haven’t taught one thing for years and then gone back and taught something else....
I was told by a priest, so that could very well be his reading of Vatican II documents. It wasn’t a declaration of the pope. “Limbo” could very well describe the emerging of the truth on this question: the truth was waiting for further revelation. Think of it that way, maybe, instead of it once being true and now it isn’t or that the Church made an error. It was the doctrine that was in limbo, perhaps, not the children.
