Well, Pope Francis is stirring the pot again…in a good way. He made some recent comments that have renewed the debate about whether or not dogs (and other animals) go to heaven.
He said: “The Holy Scripture teaches us that the fulfillment of this wonderful design also affects everything around us,” which was interpreted to mean he believes animals go to heaven. At least that’s how a LOT of people are interpreting it.
“My inbox got flooded,” said Christine Gutleben, senior director of faith outreach at the Humane Society, the largest animal protection group in the United States. “Almost immediately, everybody was talking about it.”
Typically, Catholic doctrine has it that animals cannot go to heaven because they have no soul. But Pope Francis is giving that notion a run for its money. Here at Phebe-n-Me, we’re siding with the Pope.
It’s interesting to note that he has an approval rating in the U.S. of 78% according to the Washington Post . With all this going on, we bet his approval rating among dog owners is around 99%.
