Zafir Posted April 30, 2007 The Roman Catholic Church has revised its teaching on one of the major concepts of limbo, as Pope Benedict approved a church report Friday that said there are "grounds for hope" that unbaptized babies can go to heaven. The limbo of children is traditionally defined as the state of permanent exclusion from heaven for babies who die without being freed from original sin through baptism, although there is no formal Catholic doctrine. The Pope, a respected theologian before his election as pontiff, approved the findings of the International Theological Commission that limbo reflected "unduly restrictive view of salvation." The commission's long-awaited 41-page document was released on Origins, the documentary service of Catholic News Service, the news agency of the American Bishop's Conference. "We can say we have many reasons to hope that there is salvation for these babies," the Rev. Luis Ladaria, a Jesuit who is the commission's secretary general, told the Associated Press.
