I don't doubt for a minute, loving, that you heard of Limbo as a Catholic. Many Catholics did think it was an official teaching of the RCC. Still, it is not, nor was it ever. Do a little research and you'll see for yourself. The article I tried to cite clearly explains the history of the Limbo hypothesis. (edit) And that is all it ever was: a hypothesis proposed by some theologians. Peace, Fiosh So, are you telling me I don't know what I was taught? I don't have to research it - I lived it.

It's not just a Mormon belief. A dyed-in-the-wool Catholic I worked with believes this, too. What about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to research it - I lived it. Nope, I'm telling you that you were taught wrong. Whoever told you that Limbo was a belief or doctrine of the RCC did not understand that it was only a theological hypothesis. If you look into the history you will find that to be the truth. And, if you truly understood what the RCC teaches, you'd still be a Catholic. May the peace of Christ be with you, Fiosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a serious one. I note that there has a been a good bit of joking around on the topic about New Jersey and such. Me included. But I want to ask a serious question. I will use Fiosh's response that those who hold this belief or were taught it in the Catholic Church were taught wrong or held this belief wrongly. Whether by their own fault or the fault of a Teaching, wrongly. Who ultimately is accountable for the false teachings in the RCC that have led some astray? The reason I ask this is because it is often used an excuse with these type of situations or Doctrinal disbeliefs. Yet we are told that the Church has held the mantle of Christ in the world even up unto this day. That the Apostles and Disciples carry on in the RCC and that this is the way of passing down the Faith. I believe that the Word leaves us with an answer as to what to do with those who have led others astray or allowed the Doctrines of men to over reach the Word itself and the Gospel as the Apostles and Disciples received it and have passed it down. Peace, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lovinghim4ever Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 If you look into the history you will find that to be the truth. Like I said. I don't have to look into history to find out what I was taught. I lived it. I lived it from the teachings of our "Priest" who is suppose to teach what he hears from God. And, if you truly understood what the RCC teaches, you'd still be a Catholic. No offense, but I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
