Someone think of the Children! "Limbo" is abolished!

BBC NEWS | Magazine | How can limbo just be abolished?

His Naziness, Pope Benedict XVI, last week abolished 'limbo.' Limbo was described as the place where unbaptised babies would go if they died. Created on a whim, now, apparently abolished on a whim. Isn't Catholicism so convenient for a sitting Pope?
For hundreds of years, unbaptised children were buried outside the walls of the graveyards, because they hadn't been indoctrinated into the cause. What now of their memory?
Suppose the next Pope doesn't like the idea of heaven? Will he be able to go *poof* and get rid of it?
With that sort of power over zealous catholics (who will no doubt eradicate all trace of limbo from their lives, and memories, and any lives or memories they have control over ie their children), no wonder the Vatican are so protective of their position.
