Reply #24: That was never really official Catholic teaching and is abandoned now

It was just a theory of some medieval Pope. The current one has basically done away with it altogether: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/21/world/europe/21briefs-limbo.html

For the record it was also something that was never taught to me in Sunday School or confirmation class. I wasn't aware of it until after I left the church, though it didn't improve my opinion of it any.

But as stated I don't believe in original sin, which is also part of the reason it bugs me.
