Dante's Oblio
Oblivion is an eternal state of lack of awareness thought by some to occur after death. This idea contradicts beliefs that there is an afterlife, such as a Heaven or Hell, after death. Limbo, in Catholic theology, was believed to be neither, for those souls who died without Baptism. Although not condemned to punishment, they were, by dogma, deprived of admittance into eternal happiness with God (in Paradise). If this were really the Church's position, there would remain one of the black eyes on Catholicism, necessary to be overturned by a theology centered on an all-loving and just God.
