In Vatican II, specifically in the 1965 document "Decree on Ecumenism," the concept of limbo was not formally addressed, but the Church shifted its focus towards a more hopeful understanding of salvation. The theological speculation surrounding limbo, particularly for unbaptized infants, was deemphasized, as the Church began to emphasize God's mercy and the possibility of salvation for all souls. This change reflected a broader move towards inclusivity and the recognition of God's desire for all to be saved. Consequently, while limbo was not officially abolished, it fell out of favor in Catholic teaching.
