...on limbo

Quote

Pope Benedict XVI has reversed centuries of traditional Roman Catholic teaching on so-called limbo, approving a Vatican report released Friday that says there were "serious" grounds to hope that children who die without being baptized can go to heaven.

I love how they put "serious" in quotes. Serious grounds to hope? What does that mean?

It stressed, however, that "these are reasons for prayerful hope, rather than grounds for sure knowledge."
So they're agnostics? It sounds like a slippery slope. They're rejecting centuries of tradition that served humanity well for an uncertain future and an anything goes mentality.

I kid, but if Richard McBrien and Thomas Reese are correct, the church is finally taking a moral stand. Yes, it took them a while.
