The Catholic Church taught that the soul survives after death, so it had to find a place for the souls of children who could not go to heaven because they were not baptized but who nonetheless were not deserving of hell. Thus was born the idea of Limbo.
ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನ ಪಡೆಯದೇ ಸತ್ತುಹೋದ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಆತ್ಮಗಳು ಸ್ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ. ಹಾಗಂತ ಅವು ನರಕಕ್ಕೂ ಅರ್ಹವಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಅದು ಕಲಿಸಿತು.
