Do Babies go to Heaven?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The RCC line is that since Heaven is a place of perfection, infants, the infirm, and the elderly will be brought to 'the stature of the fullness of Christ'. In the case of infants or the mentally challenged, their personal identities will also be perfected without the earthly constraints of developmental stages.

Yeah but this brings up the obvious question of why didn't he do this to all of us and avoid having to condemn people.

One’s got nothing to do with the other. Sin is a willful act. According to doctrine, infants and very young children cannot make a conscious decision to deny God or break his rulz, so there’s no reason for them not to be in Heaven. 

I suspect the reason they came up with this was to appear slightly less monstrous. Didn’t work.
