FR. CANTALMASSA ISSUES CLARIFICATION ON DOCTRINE OF LIMBO
At Zenit. Last paragraph:
I must confess that the mere idea of a God eternally depriving an innocent creature of his vision simply because another person has sinned, or because of an accidental miscarriage, makes me shudder … and I am sure would make any unbeliever happy to stay away from the Christian faith. If hell consists essentially in the deprivation of God, limbo is hell!
My heart is with him. My head tells me he is wading into theologically contradictory territory.
The Church is wrong now? The Church was wrong then?
Deja Vu.
Sigh.
