Funny that - Ratenzenburger might do that. They have revoked (not abolished - Pyro) Limbo becuase it was a bad selling point in Africa against Islam. So if contraception is seen as a poor selling point - maybe that will be abolished

So Limbo is in Limbo then? :crazy:

Let's hear his popiness talk his way out of that one. :moon:

Catholicism would be the funniest religion in the world if it wasn't so dangerous

are you sre thats just Catholicism??

religion = the route of true evil.

im with tom cruise on this one :lol:


i think technically, we are living in limbo, *opens can of worms* `it cant rain all the time` we get our mixture or heaven and hell on earth and at the end of it no one actually knows what happens, but surely limbo is where you are waiting to be decided your fait there for life is limbo, heaven and hell at the end of it, oh and the tax man.

i thought they abolished purgatory in the middle ages?

heaven - when you've been good
hell - when you are evil
purgatory is like a prison sentence - you serve relevant time for your sins, the length of time can be shortened if you are remembered and prayed for by the living

The carribean dancers joke was a waste of time then

once upon a time (e.g. Middle Ages) you can also pay the church to get someone's soul off purgatory quicker

so it is like bail

My favourite one is the sloths' punishment where they run around constanly stung by an immortal swarm of bees. Quite a friendly one by mediaeval standards

yeah the church stopped that when they found out individuals were making money....when i say stopped i mean changed it so the church made the money instead, you were encouraged to build chaples instead

it is only my opinion but i believe catholosim revolves around money

I enjoyed it

When thinking of Catholicism, or indeed any religion, you have to bear in mind that Father Ted was a documentary series.

I'm a recovering catholic, I might take up limbo dancing - just to prove a point,
I don't know what the point is but I'm going to prove it anyway.

Not quite - at first you had to do a penitance - like go on a pilgrimage to some where like Canterbury or Santiago you would then get an indulgence which let you off your naughty bits

Then people started to seel the bits of paper when they cam ehome

The Church would take money off you to say a Mass or other oferatory - but I don't thing to move you from Limbo to up or down

when i saw the post, i actually did think he was going to ban limbo dancing! :lol: :crazy:
