This is why the Church taught that infants who perish without sacramental Baptism go to the Limbo of the Children, which is, basically, the highest level of Hell. Read Dante's Inferno for more details.
You are, of course, free to make things up as you go along; religion is very good at doing that!
Jeanne, you always do this. You always claim I'm saying something false about the church, and then you back it up by linking to super old documents that I don't even recognize. If you want to know what the church teaches about something, you have to look at the catechism. That is very basic lol.
The catechism states that we have every reason to hope that all babies are indeed with God in heaven. While we cannot say for sure who is in heaven (with the exception of canonized saints), it is very much the general consensus among catholics that unbaptized babies are indeed in heaven.
So, you're saying that the New Testament is "super old"? As such, we can discount it??!
Didn't know that Magisterial documents came with expiration dates?! But, it appears that the beloved Catechism of the Catholic Church, which you love to quote from so much, is already obsolete:
Quote:1650 Today there are numerous Catholics in many countries who have recourse to civil divorce and contract new civil unions. In fidelity to the words of Jesus Christ - "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery" 160 the Church maintains that a new union cannot be recognized as valid, if the first marriage was. If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God's law. Consequently, they cannot receive Eucharistic communion as long as this situation persists. For the same reason, they cannot exercise certain ecclesial responsibilities. Reconciliation through the sacrament of Penance can be granted only to those who have repented for having violated the sign of the covenant and of fidelity to Christ, and who are committed to living in complete continence.
CL, you can stir the bullshit clockwise, others will stir it counterclockwise. In the end, it's still bullshit.
