Episode 33 - Limbo, Purgatory, and a question from a listener!

After the last episode where Dante meets Aristotle in Limbo, of Inferno - a listener asked if there is any way of escaping Limbo (the place for the unbaptized, thus also everyone living before the birth of Christ).

The Pilgrim asks Virgil the very same question in verse 49-50 of Canto IV:

"did any ever leave here, through his merit
or with another's help, and go to bliss?"

The key is the the second part, "with another's help". Virgil explains that it did happen once, as Christ descended to save some of the souls from the Old Testament.

"I was a novice in this place
when I saw a mighty lord descend to us
who wore the sign of victory as his crown.

He took from us the shade of our first parent,
of Abel, his good son, of Noah, too,
and of obedient Moses, who made the laws;

Abram, the Patriarch, David the King,
Israel with his father and his children,
with Rachel, whom he worked so hard to win;"

Canto IV, Verse 52-60.

But in general - they are lost, and in desire:

For this defect, and for no other guilt,
we here are lost. In this alone we suffer:
cut off from hope, we live on in desire."

Canto IV, Verse 40-42.
