"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

Yeah, but they weren't really aware of cavemen back when they cooked it all up. Also I think you just go to purgatory, not hell. I haven't really been up on my catechism since my mid teens so like 20+ years ago.

Yeah, if I remember proper, Purgatory was invented as the answer to this conundrum

But specifically for unbaptised babies

That sounds correct. Babies and the souls of people who led virtuous lives but had no knowledge of Jesus.
