Pope Revises 'Limbo' for Babies | Chicago Tribune

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI has revised traditional Roman Catholic teaching on so-called "limbo," approving a church report released Friday that said there was reason to hope that babies who die without baptism can go to heaven.

Benedict approved the findings of the International Theological Commission, which issued its long-awaited document on limbo on Origins, the documentary service of Catholic News Service, the news agency of the American Bishop's Conference.

This is just…weird. Next week: the Pope announces just exactly how many angels can do the foxtrot on the head of a pin (hint: fewer than can do the jitterbug, because of all the extra space needed for the fancy moves).
