Here are my Top 10 ways that anti-Catholic fundamentalists will describe today’s announcement that limbo is not a feasable concept:

10. The Catholic Church just abandoned its teaching of purgatory

9. The Catholics finally opened their Bibles and didn’t find the word “limbo” so they realized it wasn’t true

8. Catholics now agree that baptism doesn’t do anything

7. The Catholic Church changed its teaching on limbo, so it cannot be infallible

6. The new pope says the last pope was wrong about limbo

5. Catholics finally realized that “limbo” came from paganism

4. Catholics now believe that everybody goes to heaven

3. Catholics think their church never changes but it just did

2. Catholics are starting to get rid of their Catholic inventions; maybe the Eucharist will be next

1. Catholics think there used to be a place called limbo until the new pope used his magic powers to eliminate it

Tom:

And, in what way would they be wrong to say those things?

all 10 are incorrect.

Simple,*** if*** aborted babies go to Heaven (full Beatific Vision), then it is better to be aborted, then to live and baptism becomes meaningless.

You’re assuming you’ve set up a correct statement

If the concept of Limbo is wrong, then that means aborting babies is a very good thing because those babies go straight to Heaven,

Deliberately killing a baby is Infanticide.

Tom317:

It also implies that since God’s mercy is so great, then we really do not need to follow Him in any specific way, we only need to believe and then let it go…which means the Protestants would be proved completely correct.
