Now you belive it, now you don't!

Pope Palpatine XVI decides to rewrite the Catholic faith the easy way. Now, how about all the other stuff they've made up?

From the article, it sounds like limbo was made up so that the priests wouldn't have to tell parents of dead unbaptized babies their child was in hell. I wonder if they'll start doing that again, or just do dead baby baptisms. Are papal indulgences far behind (again)?

My money says that these babies will "now" go to heaven, because the alternative would have modern American Catholics leaving the church if they were told the opposite. Of course, this would turn the idea of Original Sin upside down, and make baptism redundant.

Remember, it's not your faith in a god that matters, it what some old men want you to belive, so thay can pick your pocket.

Pope Benedict XVI's anticipated pronouncement on limbo will have been informed by the International Theological Commission - a group of leading Roman Catholic theologians who have been meeting to consider the issue.

The Pope, himself, has been quoted in the past as saying that he would let the idea of limbo "drop, since it has always been only a theological hypothesis".

He was quoted as saying that limbo has never been a "definitive truth of the faith".
