Catholic church ends tradition of frightening the parents of newborns. How Christian of them.

The Roman Catholic Church has effectively buried the concept of limbo, the place where centuries of tradition and teaching held that babies who die without baptism went.

In a long-awaited document, the Church's International Theological Commission said limbo reflected an "unduly restrictive view of salvation."

Okay now I am confused. So is the church saying that they will no longer talk about limbo as it pertains to babies or that limbo is a false concept that never existed in the first place?

And how do they know there is no limbo? And then why did they think there was a limbo? There is no reference to limbo in the bible.

So the Catholic church seems to have invented limbo to frighten parents into baptizing their children as soon as possible to save them from an eternity of nothingness. And now that we have evolved into a kinder, gentler people who are less willing to believe is such harsh punishments for our innocent children, they decide to let us off the hook.

Then will they apologize to all of the grieving mothers throughout history who lost children before they could be baptized, and went through the rest of their life believing their babies had been consigned to a dimension where they would never be touched by God's love and where they would never be allowed to join them even after their death?
