Limbo Babies
30 November 2005
The second-hottest story to come out of the Vatican this week concerns the eternal souls of babies -- unchristened and still full of original sin -- righteous pre-Christians, and the classical sages. The Guardian reports that 30 leading Catholic theologians met yesterday to discuss a document that would remove the concept of "Limbo" -- a concept established 700 years ago to deal with the problem of unbaptized souls that nonetheless didn't deserve purgatory -- from Catholic doctrine.
