Somewhere in the OT there’s a passage that relates something about you have no worries about the barn you didn’t build after you’re in Paradise. ....

The “barn” reference I can think of is in the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:13-

Here is why I think the Pope is correct ( somewhat )...

God created the animals and said they were good (Genesis 1:25).

Therefore, there is no reason why there could not be pets and animals on the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1).

If one believes in a literal millenial kingdom here on earth, will most definitely be animals during the millennial kingdom (Isaiah 11:6; 65:25).

It happens I just finished reading Laudato Si for the *third* time (I'll bet very few people on the planet can say that) and I can tell you quite definitively that there's nothing infallible in the document.

I color-coded the paragraphs as to their degree of magisterial authority, as far as I could tell from the usual criteria, and as far as I could determine, more than half of it was strictly non-Magisterial: which is to say, it dealt with topics which are outside of the competence of the Magisterium, e.g. geophysics, climatology, chemistry, biology, sociology, urban planning, economics, diplomacy and politics.

The thingy about all the animals being in heaven is dicey, because it does deal with a faith-and-morals question, i.e. our eternal destiny. However, this is not handled in the manner of a definition of doctrine, but rather as a kind of musing. I would call it a "the·o·lo·gou·me·non" (there, my biggest word of the day) which means, a personal theological opinion.

That about right, campion?

In any case, there was nothing in there about not being allowed to eat animal products.

So. Peacefully and in good conscience, back to my bacon.
