Limbo Abolished?

The Roman Catholic Church is preparing to abolish limbo, the place between heaven and hell reserved for the souls of children who die before they have been baptised.

I'm not qualified to write on the intricate theological issues of unbaptized infants, but I know enough to realize that the following statement from the same article is baseless:

[The Church] is concerned that the concept of limbo may not impress potential converts.
The Church is aware that Muslims, for example, believe that all children go straight to heaven without passing any test.

The day that the Catholic Church changes its teachings for marketing reasons is the day I become a deist.
