If it is because there is no support for such doctrine in the inspired scripture, well and good. If, however, it's merely because limbo seems "mean" (no doubt a trivialization of that argument), then the change is essentially irrelevant to whether the Catholic Church may be, in some small way, reconsidering its approach to authority.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829590710648001496noreply@blogger.com
