Oops. Um...nevermind.
Ah, so if you no longer believe in the Catholic concept of "limbo", it's OK:
Catholic Church buries limbo after centuries
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Roman Catholic Church has effectively buried the concept of limbo, the place where centuries of tradition and teaching held that babies who die without baptism went.In a long-awaited document, the Church's International Theological Commission said limbo reflected an "unduly restrictive view of salvation."
The 41-page document was published on Friday by Origins, the documentary service of the U.S.-based Catholic News Service, which is part of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Pope Benedict, himself a top theologian who before his election in 2005 expressed doubts about limbo, authorized the publication of the document, called "The Hope of Salvation for Infants Who Die Without Being Baptised."
So, whereas denying the notion of limbo would have gotten you a rather unpleasant visit from the Inquisition say 500 years ago, now it is church policy that the whole idea doesn't need to exist at all.
Oops. Sorry to all those folks who were imprisioned and burned alive unnecessarily. Our bad.

, ‘I should either be hanging from the nearest lamppost or locked up in
some cellar or other. So the question for me is not whether or not I want to
undertake this or that, but whether or not we succeed in preventing a atheism -Bolshevik
take-over. I myself have the blind faith that our CRISTIAN movement will win
through. We began2000 years ago with 12 men,’Today
I can say with con?dence that our cause will prevail.’
I'm sure
I'm sure that you think that you're doing the Lord's work right now. Let me assure you that is not the case. Your empty appeals to us will always fail miserably.
But not here
Does it not seem to you that the teacher is more interested in making sure the cigarettes don't fall out of her tuck than ensuring her patriotism can't be questioned?

Nope.
"OOPS! We've overly restricted salvation!"
They never admitted that one. The RCC's official position is that their members are saved (Unconfessed mortal sin excepted), and *only* their members. Noone else. All the other churches will just, literially, go to hell.
Limbo
OOPS! We've overly restricted salvation!
OOPS! The earth is not the center of the solar system!
OOPs! We shouldn't have burned whats-his-name!
OOPS!...
Does pointing these things out make us "militant atheists"?

So what we are supposed to do is...?
Limbo lower now?
Do you ever...
...get the feeling that they're just making shit up? Oh, yeah, of course you do...you're reading UTI and know religion to be the scam that it is.
