As reported in the NYT today the Catholic Church is rethinking mean old limbo.  Here's one good theologian's take:  "You look at the proper theology, but if there is more consolation, all the better," said the Rev. Luis Ladaria, the Spanish Jesuit who is secretary general of the International Theological Commission, the official body working on limbo.
How convenient - they get to decide "What Is True" depending on "What Is Convenient"  and consoling for possible new converts.  Good for them.  If only science had it so easy!

Re: Limbo-Redacted; Life-Doubling akin to Terrorism [sure, Terrorists R US]
[oops pending for 18 hours here! //next day / tues 335pm: ]

Hello Socrata:  its excellent to find a blogger consumed by the pillars of mental/culture rather than the the vapid surfaces.

yes the manufactured doctrines; [oh, sorry 12/27/05 --> you really caught that item promptly! ]
Yes, I 'believe' that  it has been disabused by now. 
BUT, the RC is wavering on their endorsement of evolution ==>
, in a sick pandering ploy to seek parity with the godlessamericans cramming into the utterly apostate fundamentalist churches that factually worship zionism and nothing but.  THOSE 30 millions... are 90% of the rapture lemmings that vegetatively 'support' boosh.  Not kidding. http://moralsurgeon.blogspot.com/2007/05/evangelical-apostate-bible-exposed.html

PS: Ray Kurzweil: story from  July/June-2007 [Sagan on Cover // @Borders Thursday] Skeptic magazine -- his key point therein is keeping alive for ~10 years [maybe 20] at which point some techno-magic could sustain human "life" for 150 or so years.  I don't care and think its a horrible idea, because we know that the most EVIL people live decades too long already.  [Sci-Fi cult film  ... where death does not occur; nice synopsis at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zardoz, and  see the star Sean Connery in red panties and hip-boots http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zardoz_zed.jpg ]

<<Blatant opinion: Ray IS a multi-genius, and futurism can be so seductive, but living so much longer -- there is no attraction to that for me [despondent via govt lies-buffet] and zero chance that the planet could sustain that without an even greater cannibalization of the poor and powerless.  This is more cotton-candy pablum for the feeble-minded, 'WHEE!'.  People already WASTE 90% of their free time with trivial crap; the 'preciousness' of life would become even more debased by these fantastical extension schemes.

 Furthermore, they'd never be affordable to Third-Worlders and the omni-present downtrodden.  Can you imagine the class warfare triggered by doubling the life expectancy of the  [LEAST WORTHY, the] rich and famous.  It also entails an immediate ethical crisis like the 'immorality' of abortion, and the de facto ~euthanasia of those excluded from the $$ extension regimen. >>


Oops, I'm four-times too wordy again.  PS:  Brickheads would decree that doubling the lifespan of folks rotting away in the so-called 'Fallen World' cannot be wise, nor endorsed by 'The Bible'. jks zog
Hope I stirred up some ideas; and Bravo for going where few men have traveled: beyond the frontiers of manufactured thoughts!   Best Wishes, Kenneth Cowtowne
