Vatican Banishes Limbo to Limbo
By Ann Magnuson
The Vatican has decided that Limbo really doesn't exist after all and unbaptised babies CAN get into heaven. What a relief. But something tells me Mel Gibson and pere aren't buying it. I wish Mel would make a movie of Dante's Divine Comedy (espeically the Inferno part) based on those magnificent Gustave Dore illustrations (image of Purgatorio above). Yeah! Use some of that newfangled CGI stuff -- a Sin City for the real sinners of the world! *I'm suprised someone hasn't made it into a video game yet!*
Hmmmm... now that Limbo is gone I wonder what other 'revisions' will occur in the next century or two?

well since physics says that other dimensions and parrallel realities are a probability I would venture to guesS that LIMBO does really exist...how low can you go...Hmm who knows the possibilities of other dimensions is probably infinitE....I could speculate that we are in LIMBo now as we speak and that there is possibly a place where music can be tasted ....perhaps this existance is like that damn show LOST .....
p.S. good idea on the films ;its actually been done and very good ....there is a silent film version of dantes Inferno which looks literally like Gustave Dores etchings.....a little research at Amoeba and you can find some....probably on NETFLIX as well.

Sure, they got rid of Limbo. But what about Toledo, Ohio?

We won't let the Pope say that Limbo dance doesn't exist no longer either. Limbo forever, my friends. We are the first Limbo Club in Barcelona, meet us at www.actiweb.es/limboclub
