Limbo Babies Part 4

Across Britain and Ireland lie thousands of unmarked mass graves. People drive past them every day, not knowing that in them are buried tens of thousands of tiny stillborn babies. Hidden and secret, it is as though they never existed.The babies ended up buried in these graves because of a piece of Catholic theology according to which babies who were stillborn or who died shortly after birth and that had not been baptised could be denied a cemetery burial. Their souls could not go to heaven but would remain in a place called Limbo. These are the so-called 'Limbo babies', stillborn babies born to Roman Catholic families who could not be buried in consecrated ground.

Atheists are a lot more compassionate than this Catholic Church from Hell. My heart goes to those little ones and their families.

418 AD- 1210 AD unbaptised babies suffer the pains of hell

1210 AD- present limbo is a happy place where unbaptised babies go. 2010 limbo is a hypothesis perhaps there is no such thing as an unbaptised baby but baptism is still important! So much for a hypotheses that has been taught for 800 years. You would thought God would have put them wise by now. Voluntary donations to priest for performing baptism $5 -$100. Sources can be given on request.

How can these theologians decide where these babies have supposedly gone? What evidence must they invent to reach a decision? And how will they know their decision is true? This is unspeakable cruelty to desperate, grieving parents..

Peace.
