[Salvation]

I looked it up the other day in the Catechism of RThe Catholic Church and thought I would post what I found on the thread about Limbo. --Nothing--

[Rupert Pandrakos]

Although the Catechism of the Catholic Church contains no mention of Limbo, it does contain these statements that impinge on this issue:

"As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all men should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children which caused him to say: "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them," allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism. All the more urgent is the Church's call not to prevent little children coming to Christ through the gift of holy Baptism." (CCC 1261)

"With respect to children who have died without Baptism, the liturgy of the Church invites us to trust in God's mercy and to pray for their salvation." (CCC 1283)
