What happens to unbaptized children. Surely Our Father would not damn them to hell for the failings of their parents and the society that raised their parents and their parent's parents.

Oh Lord, please do not damn unbaptized children to hell. It is too cruel a thought.

Theres a layer of Hell that is a paradise, called Limbo, theres no suffering there and its a land of eternal bliss. Its hinted at in the Bible and called the Bosom of Abraham, where the Patriarchs and all the other just dead lived before Christ came to open the way to heaven. Its also widely believed that unbaptized children and virtuous pagans go to Limbo, which the Pagans called Elysium and Valhalla. So while good pagans and unbaptized infants do go to Hell, it is not the burning flames of Gehenna or the bottomless darkness of Abaddon, but rather a pleasant realm of beauty where there is no suffering. The only thing they lack is the Beatific Vision, all their other desires and needs are met.
