Personally, I think the Church makes this stuff up as they go along.

Then there must be a doggy hell too. :'(

Wait, I thought all dogs go to heaven? That's the primary reason I never wanted to, I hate dogs. Dog Gammit.

Was any testing done?

For the pitbulls that maul people to death, maybe.

Homer: I want to tell you about the most wonderful place in the world: Doggie Heaven. In Doggie Heaven, there are mountains of bones, and you can't turn around without sniffing another dog's butt! And all the best dogs are there, Old Yeller, and about eight Lassies.
Bart: Is there a Doggie Hell?
Homer: Well... of course, there couldn't be a heaven if there weren't a hell.
Bart: Who's in there?
Homer: Oh, uh... Hitler's dog... and that dog Nixon had, what's his name, um, Chester...
Lisa: Checkers.
Homer: Yeah! One of the Lassies is in there, too. The mean one! The one who mauled Timmy!

I'm glad we have the Pope's "ok" on this. Now we can proceed.

What about insects?

Flies, bees, roaches, and so on? Will they go to heaven?

Dom DeLuise will be happy to hear this.

 

[KeithTalent]

All of them?

When will the Pope acknowledge Santa is real?

"paradise is open to all God's creatures."

Darn it! All those mosquitoes I killed... went to Heaven... where they're waiting to extract their revenge upon me.

Except for the part that it wasn't what he said at all. Dogs go to heaven in the same way a tree, rock or river goes to heaven. This has been part of Christianity since the beginning.

"Our understanding of heaven ... is that love doesn't die, that the circle of love becomes complete when you're united to God, that God calls all creation to himself, and of course the animal kingdom is part of that creation," Beck told CNN.

Beck != Pope. Seems to me the pope kinda did say dogs go to heaven.

What if the dog is Jewish and gay?

Just cause I sniff the occasional asshole, it doesn't mean I'm gay!

I love the way the Catholic church thinks heaven works. Dogs couldn't go to heaven before the pope said they could, but now that he has it's all good. I wonder if the guys who went out on the Crusades could be retroactively extracted from heaven if the pope decided that what they did was bad after all?

Dogma is fun.

The dog probably has to accept Christ as his savior first...
