Catholic spiritual leaders met in the Vatican this week to do away with limbo. Limbo is where unbaptized babies go when they die.

This was a strategic move on behalf of the Church to make the faith more appealing to the developing world, where infant mortality rates are very high. What happens to all the baby souls currently in limbo is up for grabs. Perhaps they get to Heaven by default. Perhaps they’re happy there and will prefer to stay. Or perhaps they’ll get a second chance as newborn babies when the Supreme Court revises its abortion ruling later this year.
