The backbreaker

[GUBU]

Until the '80's at least limbo was a central rcc doctrine, haing the seal of papal infallibility and all. Stillborn infants couldn't be buried on "consecrated" ground because of it. The main reason it is now relegated to speculation is because it was deemed to be losing the church adherents and also peripheral enough to drop without controversy or notice.

It was a theological speculation and not a doctrine.

I've had monks, nuns, priests and even an archbishop telling me that limbo is real and true, and definitely exists. They all asserted it because it was established as being true under the doctrine of papal infallibility.

As for losing adherents, the Catholic Church is actually growing.

In Europe it's nearly dead, in South America it's losing adherents rapidly, both to non-belief and to more extreme christian sects, in Asia it continues to barely exist. It is not growing, and it can only claim to even hold steady because it changed its own rules to stop people from defecting, especially after the site countmeout.ie had shown Irish people how to formally defect from an organisation they had long left and over 12,000 defected in a short period of time. To point out the absurdity of accepting the lying, criminal and pederast rcc's own numbers, I am still counted as being catholic, even if I went and got myself excommunicated, I would still be counted as catholic. They are so afraid of the fact that they are in reality losing numbers big time that they are doing everything they can to hide this fact.
