The Pope said something about it a while back, it's just now coming out in documents. Scandia is close but not quite. It's not like someone just "made it up." It was more of an actual developed theory that appeared to fit the evidence and the people's understanding of the world and their theology.

That said, JPII and others have said for a while that not being baptized doesn't mean you don't go to heaven. Catholics in general believe that a moral person will be welcomed by God and that basically we have no right to say who will or won't get into heaven because it isn't our call.
