On Friday, April 20, 2007, the International Theological Commission (ITC), an advisory body comprised of 30 theologians from around the world chosen by the Pope, released its long-awaited document, The Hope of Salvation for Infants Who Die Without Being Baptized -- the issue of original sin, baptism, salvation, and limbo. In essence the commission states that we have a right to hope that God will find a way to offer the grace of Christ to infants who have not been baptized.
If you would like to read more I suggest an interview with Sr. Sarah Butler. She is one of two women appointed to the International Theological Commission by John Paul II in 2004, and presently teaches dogmatic theology at St. Joseph's Seminary in Dunwoodie, New York. The interview is rather long, and in my humble opinion, reflects the need for all of us to walk humbly with God - clinging to the Good Shepherd's love.

there's an epidemic going on in indiana in the us and it's gay marriage and whether it should be allowed and billboards trying to use biblical scripture to prove that homosexuality is alright in any church. This bothers me, because it seems to contradict what the old testament says.
