If it isn't a new religion already, it soon will be.
This new religion is being taught to the youngsters in "Catholic schools" with the full approval of our ecumaniac current pope...

God help us all.
Leaving these children to the mercy of God, as the Catechism suggests, is a wise thing and, indeed, the only thing we can do.
The church has never put forth a doctrine on what happens when babies die before their Christian parents have the opportunity to have them baptized. This is not a commission to change a church doctrine, but rather one to investigate an issue which has been considered problemmatic to the Catholic Church for centuries. St. Thomas' teachings, while deferred to in recognition of his holiness and wisdom do not represent the entirety of church Tradition. Nor do those teaching reflect with the Pope's statement to the commission, "Catholic theology has sought answers that are in accord with the mercy of God the Father."
Absolutely nothing in thsi incindiary article presents a conflict between the Pope and St. Aquinas on this issue.
There is no such thing as a "Novus Ordo Church", but only the Catholic Church, like the Christ who founded her, the same yesterday, today and forever. Limbo was never something dogmatically defined, nor something that has always and everywhere been taught in the Church explicitly or implicitly from the Apostles. It is thus open to speculation. Not every word of St. Thomas Aquinas necessarily represents the Deposit of Faith. He didn't support the Immaculate Conception, for example.
