Roman Catholics No Longer In "Limbo?"

Captain Ed Morrisey gives all of us Christian folks a "heads up" with a post that offers an inside look into some important stirrings in the Vatican

Specifically, rumor has it that a special theological advisory group will soon be suggesting to Pope Benedict that he declare an end to the teaching of the existance of "Limbo" in the Roman Catholic Church.

Limbo is a non-biblical, theological construct from the Middle Ages, created, in part, to explain the destiny of dead, unbaptized babies.

Captain Ed suggests that, if Limbo goes into limbo, the doctrine of Purgatory may step up to fill in the gap.
