Leaving theology in limbo

I have to confess that I'm left a little perplexed by today's report that the Catholic church is about to denounce it's theology of limbo. I totally agree with what Berry has to say about the matter; I think it speaks volumes about the nature of faith if a belief which has been held by the majority of Christians for hundreds of years is going to be no more. Surely this serves as a warning to those who hold firmly to beliefs that inflict suffering on others? Surely it speaks to the Vatican itself, whose stance on contraception has significantly worsened the AIDS pandemic? Surely it's time that such risky beliefs were held more loosely.
