RJJ, A small but important point: Limbo is not a doctrine of the Catholic Church. It is theological speculation on the very question you have raised. Actual Catholic doctrine on the question from the Catechism is this" "1261. "As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: 'Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,'[Mk 10 14 ; cf. 1 Tim 2:4 .] allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism." Emmaus |

Greetings Emmaus, thank you for your response, although I am not a Catholic and can only refer to the information on the net, I feel that I will have to disagree with you. I will concede that the word/name has been dropped, the doctrine remains the same and as the noun limbo is a 13th century word and has no modern translation then why not drop a word that now is thought of as a place rather than a description of a place. A small point but one of great significance. SHALOM RJJ P/s the sites were www.newadvent.org and http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/ccc.html |

RJJ, I am aware of the article in the Catholic Encyclopedia at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09256a.htm But I find no mention of the subject at http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/ccc.html which I am familiar with and own in print as well as having access on the website. Perhaps you can show me more precisely where limbo is at that site for the Catechism, which I previously quoted. I could not find it on the site's search engine nor in the index or text that I have. An article about theological speculations on a particular subject, or the speculation itself does not a doctrine or dogma make. Otherwise you might claim that the doctrines of the Reformers or Islam are Catholic doctrine because they are discussed in the Catholic Encyclopedia. And how does one or a Church, even if so inclined, "drop a word" especially if you insist on using it and bringing it up? And then there is the problem that it is a word in most dictinaries and has other meanings than the purely theological. Please let me know where it is on the second link you referenced. Emmaus |

Greetings Emmaus, Whether you have it in print or in stone, if you do not read it, then what good will it do? If you can not, or will not, understand English word structure and its usage then we will never understand why the Catholic Church has stopped/dropped using the word limbo. I am not going to nit pick/argue over a word that has changed its nearing over 800 years but I will say look at the root word and that is LIMBUS (Latin meaning BORDER, Date 14 century). I would humbly ask that the reader look beyond the single word and READ the doctrine, which is the Catholic Churches answer to my question BUT I would like to know/discover the Protestant answer to my question. SHALOM RJJ. |

RJJ, I am sorry to have disturbed your peace. I won't disturb you again with the facts or with a question you can not answer. Emmaus |

Greetings Emmaus. Please laugh with me, God LOVES us both, despite our differences. Should Reverend Jim Wright decide to write Right rite, then Wright would write right rite, to which Wright has the right of copyright. Duplicating his rite would be to copy Wright's Right rite, and violate copyright, to which Wright would have the right to right. Right? AMohSL? SHALOM RJJ |
