Well yippee, some bloke says something different to the last bloke.
I suppose it's progress of sorts and I''m pleased that you can out yourself to your mum.
Let's hope the next pope doesn't say something different again. It's almost like they're making it up as they go along - sheesh, they'll say that there's no such thing as limbo next.

Wait....which Pope brought back limbo? I mean, purgatory they believe in, but I am pretty sure limbo is still a thing of the past. Although, one never knows.
It was sarcasm, but it only happened a few years ago.
The decision was taken after Benedict XVI was presented with Vatican studies that said there were "serious" grounds that such souls could go to heaven, rather than exist between heaven and hell as they have done for almost 800 years.
The 41-page report by the Vatican's Theological Commission, which was compiled following a three-year study, said the concept was an "unduly restrictive view of salvation". However, it added that baptism was the only way to remove the stain of original sin - which according to the Catholic faith all are born with - and urged parents to continue to baptise their children.
The Pope ends state of limbo after 800 years
Good that they gathered all that objective evidence, then made something up to contradict it isn't it.

An interesting article at N.P.R.
I guess you've got a different definition of the word 'interesting' to me.
Whatever the words, it's still total bollox - Satan leading us into temptation, what fantastical garbage.
