told that animal masses were good and profitable

I was talking about St. Francis calling us to preach the Gospel to animals. But preaching is not what Mass is. No, I would not say that animals should come to Mass. Should animals come to Protestant sermons? No, -- unsound doctrine.

I was talking about St. Francis calling us to preach the Gospel to animals.

Why would you imagine it advisable to preach the Gospel to animals? Do they have souls? Do they sin? Are they in need of redemption by Christ's atonement?
