I don’t completely agree with his statement about all pets have souls and will go to heaven, but I don’t have a lot of trouble with it. I needn’t agree with The Pope on every little thing to appreciate his value to the Church. All we on earth can do is express an opinion. He is entitled to his opinion. Besides, I have owned pets that I did love very much, I enjoyed caring for them, and deeply mourned their passing or disappearance.
