Subject: Pope to Abolish Limbo

The Pope on the advice of Catholic theologians is expected to soon
abolish Limbo, the place to which the Church has taught for 800 years
that unbaptised babies go when they die.

It must be nice to belong to a church whose leader is so powerful that
he can abolish whole realms of the afterlife! I wonder if he could
abolish Hell? Or maybe he could create a slightly lower Heaven for
those of us non-Catholics who are still pretty good guys!

So when new borne babies died unbaptised during the first millennia,
they went to Hell. Then for the last 800 years, they have been going
to Limbo. Now, they will be going straight to Heaven!

Must be nice to belong to a church that is so sure about its beliefs!
