vacation and paradise

so we've been planning a vacation to german for over a year now and it just fell through. ARRGgg. So we are franticly trying to head out to San Diego over the summer. I'm sure it will be fun I just hate the limbo of it all. Speaking of limbo, no harm intended but I'm curious as to peoples opinions on this matter. The pope has come out and said that there is no such thing as limbo any more. How can catholic dogma be changed (is dogma derogatory?) Can catholic doctrine just change? Does he really have that much power that he can send all the little babies who were hanging out in limbo for the last few hundred years to heaven? I know that with the understanding of the priesthood or authority from God what is sealed on earth will be sealed in heaven but limbo wasn't in heaven....discuss.
For those of you unfamiliar with catholic beliefs, and please correct me if I'm wrong. But the understanding of what happens after this mortal life is (no WAS) this...Heaven- self explanatory, limbo- babies who died before they got baptized, purgatory- sinners go, and hell- the worst of the worst.
