I hate to break into my series on the LLL conference, but plastered on the home page of Yahoo tonight is this story.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The Roman Catholic Church has effectively buried the concept of limbo, the place where centuries of tradition and teaching held that babies who die without baptism went.

You have to get to the 5th paragraph before they mention, by the way, limbo was never official doctrinal teaching. Later in the article, they point out that limbo was not mentioned in the 1992 CCC. Logically, they’re implying that it was mentioned in a previous CCC. the only thing I could find was research indicating it was mentioned in the Baltimore Catechism at some point, but even that’s hazy. They act like this is big news because it points out an inconsistency in Church teaching, and pokes holes in all Church teachings, therefore. Whadd’ya expect from Reuters, though?
