Limbo in limbo

Do journalists not read the papers? Tom Shields in The Sunday Herald gets it wrong:

"Limbo has been put out of its uncertain state. The Vatican has closed it down. Limbo, for those of you who did not learn by rote the catechism of the Catholic church, was a temporary place where the souls of unbaptised babies went when they died. They could not go straight to heaven because they had original sin but they did not deserve hell. Pope Benedict XVI ... was never a big fan of
the concept and has abolished limbo."

As yesterday's Scotsman pointed out:

"THE Pope has been advised by his own theologians to scrap the centuries old belief "in limbo", the resting place for souls of children who have not been baptised.
The recommendation came yesterday from the 30-strong International Theological Commission which had been meeting at the Vatican all week as part of the investigation...
It had been thought that Pope Benedict XVI himself would announce the decision to scrap the concept, but instead it will remain in place until studies have been formally completed."

So the 'uncertain state' remains.
