Do all dogs go to heaven? Pope Francis seems to think so. Confirms paradise is open to all of God's creatures.
During his weekly address at St Peter's Square, the Catholic leader made this statement while trying to console a little boy, who was heart-broken over the death of his beloved dog.
According to multiple report, while quoting several biblical passages, Pope Francis told the boy; "One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God's creatures."
This has generated a lot of debate. Of course, this viewpoint goes against the conservative Catholic ideology that because animals don't have souls, they can't go to heaven.
Some people have said that the Pope spoke casually and not a doctrinal statement.
