Look- read the article and make an informed comment or do not comment at all. That's why they are posted. We are not looking for the Sola Scriptura perspective here. The article is a Catholic article and we are not Sola Scriptura. You might want to familiarize yourself with the rules of the forums you post in as well.

Did you read the op???

The real question, in my opinion, is: did those babies sin before they died? If they did not sin, do they then need the baptism? I do not believe babies that die before baptism will not be saved, to be honest, I am sure they are saved.

I don't see the harm of reading the article and not just the title to make an informed comment and understand the perspective of the topic.

JimBeta-
I'll take that as a no. You did not read the op.

Yes. Thanks because I was just getting ready to type out a long paragraph on this phone. Ugh! These articles are meant to be educational and informative. I do not understand the mindset of commenting on topics that are never read.

The article addresses it well. The Sacraments are the normal procedure. But God is not bound by them and we trust in His Mercy for these innocent souls. As Pope Benedict XVI pointed out, Limbo was never Dogma but rather pius opinion.

Official position of the Church is that we trust in God's just mercy.
