Popish Progress

It seems that the Magisterium of the Catholic Church has decided to dump the medieval concept of "limbo" altogether. A panel of theologians discovered that the place was made up in the middle ages (rather like another non-Biblical locale invented by Catholic theologians in the late Roman Empire. Indeed, the old-style Anglican Church said that "The Romish doctrine concerning Purgatory...is a fond thing vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture; but rather repugnant to the word of God."
So much for whack medieval ideas, eh wot? Perhaps if the Catholic Church gets rid of some of Pius IX's decrees (i.e. Papal infallibility in matters of faith and the idea that Mary was not subject to Original Sin, decreed in the 1850s), Pope Benny's idea of a unified Christian Church can come closer to reality.
