Thread Name: What no Limbo?
Subject: RE: What no Limbo?
In Ireland, I found the separate graveyards for unbaptised children (killeens) very moving. There must have been many of them given the huge perinatal death rate of old. No headstones or other markers, just the memory of the local people to keep their location.

I always thought the doctrine was a touch rough on the Holy Innocents.

But if the souls of the unbaptised now go to heaven, doesn't that make abortion a sacrament?
