pedantic ex-Catholic voice Actually, the unbaptized babies were supposed to go to limbo, not purgatory, which is worse. In purgatory you can work off your sins and eventually get into heaven; in limbo you are just stuck for all eternity doing nothing. That's the horrifying bit that the Church no longer officially endorses
merciful god condemns them on a technicality apparently
You know how Catholic used to believe that unbaptized babies go to purgatory until recently? Seems like the same kind of thinking.
