[QUOTE="Radagast, post: 73348052, member: 20522"] That's more or less what Dante says, reflecting Catholic belief during his time: "[COLOR=#0000ff]The sighs arose from sorrow without torments, out of the crowds-the many multitudes- of infants and of women and of men. The kindly master said: 'Do you not ask who are these spirits whom you see before you? I'd have you know, before you go ahead, they did not sin; and yet, though they have merits, that's not enough, because they lacked baptism, the portal of the faith that you embrace. And if they lived before Christianity, they did not worship God in fitting ways; and of such spirits I myself am one. For these defects, and for no other evil, we now are lost and punished just with this: we have no hope and yet we live in longing.'[/COLOR]" And Dante locates this Limbo [B]physically [/B]as a zone within Hell (the 1st circle). As you said eaarlier, however, the Catholic church no longer accepts the idea of Limbo. [/QUOTE]
