You can scratch the babies in Limbo off your prayer list. Limbo is history. As of Friday, April 20, 2007, Limbo, (which existed since the 13th Century when it was made up to solve the problem of where babies go that aren't baptised) has been abandoned. It is now a quaint memory. It's inhabitants included Plato, Moses, and Abraham among those countless babies, as it's borders were also said to encompass those who did not sin, but were not 'saved'.The Catholic Church's International Theological Commission said limbo reflected an "unduly restrictive view of salvation."
