    Babies don't willfully deny Gods nurturing love. So, even though they have sin nature, are innocent & Jesus described the children that came to him as an example of Gods Kingdom. All babies or children who die before age of accountability go to heaven. The Pope just wanted to correct some false doctrine. Thank God for this Pope.

    The Catholic Church believes that those who die never hearing of Christ but have sought the truth and does the will of God as they understand it can be saved. See Romans 2:13-16. This is called the Baptism of desire. (1)

    If they died before Jesus died for our sins and opened the gates of heaven for us, then they waited in what is called in the Old Testament Abrahams bosom or Sheol.

    Catholics believe that after Jesus died on the cross, he descended into Sheol, the place of the dead. While there He freed the holy souls who awaited their savior in Abraham's bosom. (2)

    With love in Christ.
