I don’t think we ever really disagreed. What I’ve been saying all along is essentially that Limbo must be our kind of “default” position. What we know to be true absolutely indicates that Limbo exists. The best that can be said for the anti-Limbo position is only that God, through an extraordinary act of mercy, may choose (though He is not obligated to) to supply salvific grace to those who would normally go there, though we can never know if/when He does or under what circumstances He would. In other words, there is actual, positive reason to believe in Limbo, even though there may be reasonable hope that it’s “empty.”
Which, again, is what I’ve been saying all along – i.e., that the contrary position (that Limbo is an “outdated idea” and there’s no reason to believe in it) is positively meritless.
