"So the pope eliminated
Limbo, did you hear?" she says
"What?"
"You know the pope, right, well he eliminated
Limbo..."
"When?"
"I don't know, a while ago."
"Well that means we're fucked..."
"You got it."
"What's
Limbo for?"asks Jessica
"That's where all the people that were around before they had the chance to get the word of christ get to go...and unbaptized babies that die early..."
"It's not as good as
Heaven, but it beats the hell out of the other options."
"How can he just
eliminate it like that?"
"Cause he's the pope..."
"But why?"
"Well he's getting a bit old you know, going a little bit eccentric...like now he's going around apologizing to everybody...down to Central America-oh we're really sorry ...and he's apologized to all the women of the world...gee, we're really sorry all women...did you read his
Letter to All the Women of the World?"
"Yeah the people in the Vatican are just freaking out..."
"So what did they do with
Limbo?"
"Well it's probably one of those things that's not that easy to just get rid of, like when you have to throw away a fridge, or a couch..."
"Yeah, they probably had to put it out in the alley with a sign on it that said 'free for the taking: obsolete belief system'..."
"So what about all those unbaptized babies and unwashed souls?"
"Well, I guess they're out of luck..."
"We ought to do something about it!"
