In gravity theories with higher-curvature terms, the limit of the graviton's mass tending to zero leads to a discontinuity in the formula for the propagator. In the present paper, the Pauli-Fierz action, and the Einstein theory with additional terms quadratic in curvature are discussed. Gauge fixing terms and the Newtonian limit are calculated. Also, the effect of a non-vanishing cosmological term on the stability is discussed. In the appendix, several useful differential curvature identities are listed.
