Re: Pope doing away with limbo
[ QUOTE ]
Can you all see that your religion is being made up as you go along? ...
Can you just for a second try to extrapalate and see that at some point heaven and hell were imagined as answers to impossible questions. Genesis descibes how some writer imagined the earth was created and it turns out he was wrong.
Can you not then extrapalate to realise that the God concept was probably a figment of someones imagination when trying to answer a difficult riddle?
No? okay nevermind.

No, apparently I am not able to "extrapolate" invalid inferences any better than you are able to spell "extrapolate."
It does not follow from "there are debates among Catholics about the content and implications of God's revelation" that "all this is just a bunch of made up hooey." Precisely the fact that Catholics are attentive to the difference between that which is definitively part of the deposit of faith and that which is free ground for theological speculation speaks against your (naive and amateurish) suggestion.
