Catholic Church buries limbo after centuries By Philip Pullella Fri Apr 20, 2:21 PM ET VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Roman Catholic Church has effectively buried the concept of limbo, the place where centuries of tradition and teaching held that babies who die without baptism went. In a long-awaited document, the Church's International Theological Commission said limbo reflected an "unduly restrictive view of salvation." The 41-page document was published on Friday by Origins, the documentary service of the U.S.-based Catholic News Service, which is part of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Pope Benedict, himself a top theologian who before his election in 2005 expressed doubts about limbo, authorized the publication of the document, called "The Hope of Salvation for Infants Who Die Without Being Baptised." The verdict that limbo could now rest in peace had been expected for years. The document was seen as most likely the final word since limbo was never part of Church doctrine, even though it was taught to Catholics well into the 20th century. "The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought into eternal happiness even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in revelation," it said. "There are reasons to hope that God will save these infants precisely because it was not possible (to baptize them)." The Church teaches that baptism removes original sin which stains all souls since the fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. "NO NEGATION OF BAPTISM" The document stressed that its conclusions should not be interpreted as questioning original sin or "used to negate the necessity of baptism or delay the conferral of the sacrament." Limbo, which comes from the Latin word meaning "border" or "edge," was considered by medieval theologians to be a state or place reserved for the unbaptized dead, including good people who lived before the coming of Christ. "People find it increasingly difficult to accept that God is just and merciful if he excludes infants, who have no personal sins, from eternal happiness, whether they are Christian or non-Christian," the document said. It said the study was made all the more pressing because "the number of nonbaptised infants has grown considerably, and therefore the reflection on the possibility of salvation for these infants has become urgent." The commission's conclusions had been widely expected. In writings before his election as Pope in 2005, the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger made it clear he believed the concept of limbo should be abandoned because it was "only a theological hypothesis" and "never a defined truth of faith." In the Divine Comedy, Dante placed virtuous pagans and great classical philosophers, including Plato and Socrates, in limbo. The Catholic Church's official catechism, issued in 1992 after decades of work, dropped the mention of limbo. from here: http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL2028721620070420

The festival's official website has the following bands listed.. Maybe its the 2006 lineup but it isn't clearly marked as such....? * The Hootenany Tour * Constantines * Luther Wright * Carolyn Mark * Shuyler Jansen * Jenny Whiteley * Lady Racers * Fat Robot * Fembots * Great Lake Swimmers * Chris Brown All Star Band with Kate Fenner * Jon-Rae and the River * Holy F*ck * Hidden Cameras * Wintersleep * RWI Pretty damn sweet lineup! edit: this lineup is a lot more exciting to me than the one that chromewaves guy listed.

Brian & Robert is actually in reference to the two men who own Budweiser.. They were jokingly making a song for Budweiser to use for a beer commercial. I remember reading that in a Trey interview but I can't seem to find a reference for it anymore.

Ah, I see.. I'm not so into the taste. Anise. I've never been a big anise fan. The louche is pretty damn cool though!

211: Homosexuality. 1. Tom Robinson - Glad To Be Gay 2. Ween - Rainbow 3. Broken Social Scene - I'm Still Your Fag 4. 5. 6. 7. 8, 9, 10. 11. 12.

The best you can get is La Fee absinthe. I put back a few bottles of this when I spent time in the UK. Actually you can order bottles to your house in Canada through their website! It has a nice louche and everything.. But as Beats said, you can't buy absinthe in this day and age with enough thujone in it to have any thujone-related effects. You'd have to make your own homebrew absinthe to see some true, ear-slicing effects come about!

Happy b-day.. Good call on the "songs with gold in it" category too!
