Limbo Of The Fathers:Killing Time?

[Bravo_6]

I was just thinking - Were those who were kept there,keep themselves busy by telling stories of their dealings with God?Did they wait for others to die for more news whether the Messiah had arrived?St John the Baptist gave his news,then St Joseph arrived to confirm the news of Christ.My question is when Lazarus arrived and finally got his opportunity to speak amongst all the other patriarchs and prophets discussing their stories,did they think it rude that Lazarus suddenly disappeared without completing his story?

Just wondering…

Friend, these links are not relevant. The OP is referring to the Limbo of the Fathers, also known as Abraham’s Bosom, Sheol, or Hades (but not the place of torment) - a place where the souls of the righteous of the Old Testament went prior to the coming of Christ and His victory over death. Jesus opened the gates to heaven - prior to His resurrection, no souls were in heaven. This is a fact of our faith. The limbo to which you refer is indeed a hypothesis that the Church no longer actively promotes.
