Remember Limbo?
Not the dance.
Remember the dance?
[LAUGHTER]
And then remember the place?
Who here remembers Limbo, really?
Yay.
You.
You know, Limbo doesn't exist anymore.
The Pope said there's no more Limbo.
Remember that?
For years we prayed for all those babies in Limbo.
Do you guys know--
is there anybody here who doesn't
know what Limbo used to be?
You don't know?
If you died without being baptized.
Mhm.
If you died without being baptized--
And you're a baby.
And you're a baby, or a grown person, you went to Limbo.
Even if you were 50, you could go to Limbo, I think.
Where'd you go?
Virgil was in Limbo.
Plato was in Limbo.
That's right.
There were grown people in Limbo.
And they were dimly aware--
Definitely a step up from purgatory.
Yeah, it was definitely a step up.
You were sort of waiting.
It was like a long-- it was like being in a stuck elevator
for a long time.
But now the Pope has come out and said there's no more Limbo.
In fact, I swear I read this, that the Pope--
not that-- God bless, but--
I don't-- anyway, I won't go there.
But the Pope actually came out and said there's
no such thing as hell either.
You missed it.
Google it.
The Pope says no hell.
The Pope said hell is a state of mind.
It's distance from God.
It's not a place.
And I was thinking about Limbo and how
this is a time when there's so many holy wars being waged,
you know?
And so many of us don't know what we believe.
"Limbo."
"Each of them can't decide if there is a God
or if there is a self.
Do I have an I?
one says to another who seems distracted, looking out
what might have been a window.
What is the difference between a self and a soul?
Is it true that one god is in relationship to each of us?
Or is the each of us an illusion, and we
are the god we are looking for?
That's what the distracted one is thinking
and what she wants to know, and she
wishes that other person would stop bothering her,
and she wishes she had more time to think about these things,
although she has all the time in the world."
