The Church didn't "abolish" Limbo it merely "clarified" the position a few years back.

It's been marginalised.

Well it's what Roman Catholicism is all about. I remember from catechism class at school that there are two kinds of Limbo in church theology. The Limbo of the Patriarchs where Moses, Abraham and all those other pre-Jesus types ended up. They were freed and went to heaven on Easter Monday.

Then there's the Limbo of the Infants, where unbaptised babies and the like go. Along with Purgatory, Limbo is/was considered a part of Hell, but is not so bad.

Or somesuch.

Oy Mattala...You're becoming such an expert on Limbo, Purgatory, et al..Now I know where to go when the time comes to confess my sins, few and minor though they may of course be.  ;)

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Absolutely. I have it on very good authority that this whole 'Matty the Damned' thing is just a front. Canon Matthew is actually the Parish Priest of Boolaboolabongbong.
