The Catholic Church has finally jettisoned the concept of Limbo. In the past, Catholic Doctrine has stated that there was a place that unbaptized babies go if they die, this place was called Limbo. This extra-biblical concept was held by the Catholic Church from medieval times to today.
I imagine a steamy tropical locale with rockin Island music, swaggering babies holding shapely cocktail glasses with fruit on the rim and maybe even infant coconut bowling; perhaps Limbo wouldn't be so bad a place...
Limbo is now theological history read about the new decision. It is encouraging when theologians do good work to separate church traditions from true Biblical Theology. What might be some of our extra-biblical traditions?
