“Catholic experts are set to advise the Pope to abolish the state of limbo for babies that die before baptism.” Like the Pope could do that !

For centuries many Roman Catholics have believed that the souls of babies who die before baptism remain in limbo. But the concept has never been part of official teaching, and it is thought Pope Benedict may be keen to do away with it.
Catholic is concerned about the grief suffered by the parents of stillborn babies, which could be compounded if they believed the souls of their children were to be excluded from heaven.
The theory of limbo was expounded in the Middle Ages as a solution to the theological question over what happened to the souls of babies who had not been cleansed by baptism of the "original sin" Catholics believe is inherent in all humanity, but were too young to have committed any sins of their own.
Limbo has also been held to be the final destination for people who lived virtuous lives before the time of Christ. Our correspondent says some have suggested that the possible change is an attempt by the Vatican to prevent people in developing countries with high infant mortality rates turning to Islam - Muslims believe the souls of stillborn babies go straight to paradise.
John MacDaid, a theologian and principal of the Catholic Heythrop College at the University of London "What I would say to any parent who loses a child and who is anxious about the destiny of that child is that we must have complete confidence that that child is now embraced by God in heaven."
Theo logic.
I don’t know why God chose to leave a whole lot of things out of the Bible, like this issue. Didn’t He know that it, and all those others, would be our big concerns ??
