Detailed explanation-1: -Dante’s description of Limbo has similar traits to what is described in Catholic theology. It is a holding place for those souls destined for neither Heaven nor Hell. Not a place of eternal bliss, but not a place of eternal torment either.
Detailed explanation-2: -Traditionally, therefore, theologians placed two groups of souls in Limbo, the Biblical righteous of the Old Testament and infants who die unbaptized: the Biblical righteous, Hebrew patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “Limbo of the Patriarchs” or “Limbo of the Fathers” (Latin limbus patrum) is seen as the temporary state of those who, despite the sins they may have committed, died in the friendship of God but could not enter Heaven until redemption by Jesus Christ made it possible.
Detailed explanation-4: -limbo, in Roman Catholic theology, the border place between heaven and hell where dwell those souls who, though not condemned to punishment, are deprived of the joy of eternal existence with God in heaven.
