I once read an essay by a priest who said he couldn't be happy without his dog, so since he'd be happy in Heaven, he knew his dog would be with him. I hope he was joking.

There is an expression, "Is the Pope Catholic," used to express certainty about something. I'm beginning to wonder about this Pope.

Back during the Papacy of Paul VI, when so many changes were introduced in the Church, the joke went around that he was hoping for an early death because he wanted to die a Catholic.

It’s a matter of faith so you must believe it.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Did God have animals in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve when they lived in a sinless State? If so, why would you think that animals are definitely not going to be in heaven?

I think that God loves animals, it’s why he made them. I think they will be in heaven. Especially since God can put in heaven anything he wants.
