Atonement

Okay I wanted to start a thread about this subject. Because I don't want to railroad my other thread, and I know how these threads turn out. But I learned something tonight that I never knew (or heard of)..
The pope has done away with "baby-limbo hell." 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". (never knew there was such a thing).
I believe this is a good thing, because I would have to see Scripture for why there was a baby-limbo in the 1st place. Something I see the RCC doing I can give a thumbs up to...
Your thoughts, and why was this just now put forth?
