There's where I really split from Catholicism. Though changing to keep up with times is wonderful, how can you just one day decide that a very important tenet is just no longer true. Poof! My mother remarked over the weekend that I guess that means that child she had who was stillborn can now finally ascend into heaven (yes, a priest told her that child still had original sin and would forever remain in limbo...how cruel is that?) It's one thing to decide we girls didn't have to wear those stupid hat doilies to church, or to decide that kneeling too long was unnecessary...but deciding "limbo" is no longer in fashion? I call papal bullshit. Hell, I call the whole religion bullshit.
