Limbo's left in limbo

The Catholic Church has decided that it no longer believes in limbo, saying that it reflects an "unduly restrictive view of salvation" for a God who "wants all human beings to be saved."

I wonder if we can get them to give up Hell by the same reasoning.

And it took me a long while to properly parse this sentence:
It says grace has priority over sin, and the exclusion of innocent babies from heaven does not seem to reflect Christ's special love for children, CNS, which is owned by the U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference, quoted the document as saying.

At first I kept thinking that it was saying that CNS was some abbreviation for Christ's special love for children, and that it was owned by the U.S. Catholic Bishops Conference. I guess you can trademark God.
