Sitting in limbo

I must have been imagining things because I thought the Roman catholic church did away with limbo a long time ago. I must have been wrong because it is now expected that the Pope will announce tomorrow that limbo no longer exists.

So, if I get this right, up until now all children who died without being baptised went to limbo and now they are to be delivered unto heaven. There must be billions and billions of them since time began (even if you think that was only 6,000 years ago!). I reckon they're going to have to get the builders in. What if they can't get planning permission? It's going to get awfully cramped.

This may also be a good time if you were a young woman who, having died, didn't what pass the heaven criteria. They're going to have to relocate quite a lot of marginal cases upstairs otherwise there won't be enough nannies to go around.

However a see this as a golden opportunity to resolve an issue that has been disturbing many young families who are concerned about the fate of the planet. Cloth v. disposable. What will God do?
