The mural "Les Limbes" by Delacroix in the Palais du Luxembourg. The Catholic idea of Limbo is often cited as a theologoumenon. Once a widespread concept, it is no longer usually taught in Catholic pedagogy, and has generally been abandoned since the Second Vatican Council. Pope Benedict XVI referred to it as a "theological hypothesis" and expressed doubts about its accuracy.[1]
A theologoumenon (Koinē Greek: θεολογούμενον, romanized: theologoúmenon, lit. 'that which is said about God'[2]) is a theological statement or concept that lacks absolute doctrinal authority.[3][4] It is commonly defined as "a theological assertion or statement not derived from divine revelation",[3] or "a theological statement or concept in the area of individual opinion rather than of authoritative doctrine".[4]
