Well good news! Pope Benedict has decided to abolish ‘Limbo’! Yep, he’s decided it has to go so that’s that! I suppose he cleared it with the big guy first before letting the rest of us know about the changes. That’s one management meeting I’d like to sit in on.

Good news particularly for all the little children who thus far ended up in ‘Limbo’ due to a lack of baptism (completely out of there control of course but rules are rules…well they used to be anyway!). I’m sure the residents of Limbo are all relieved to hear about the closing down of what was to be their eternal holding pen. I assume they’ll be relocated to a nice little corner of heaven soon?

For those not in the know, Limbo is a place that is neither heaven nor hell, but somewhere in between. Limbo was the eternal residence for the souls of the un-baptised (mostly babies) and a prolonged holding pen for people who didn’t live very good lives or very bad lives. Those guys had to sit out a couple of million years in Limbo praying their heads off until they got a pass to go to heaven. The un-baptised children however could expect to stay there for eternity…until now that is! Thanks to Benedict!
