#2 ..I don't think Muslims anthropomorphize their animals, or women or infidels for that matter.

Or other Muslims.

#6 ..I don't think Muslims anthropomorphize their animals, or women or infidels for that matter.

Nothing to do with "anthropomorphize."

Muslims view dogs as unclean; Mo was a cat person.

#7 Questionable theology. Francis is not much of a theologian, unlike his predecessors. He is quite sloppy intellectually.

#8 The question of whether dogs go to heaven is a very old theological debate. And if dogs are going, what about llamas, specifically the Dalai Lama?

#9 If dawgs don't go to heaven why bother avoiding sin?

#11 Well, I believe the greatest gift to man from God is a good dog. It is no coincidence that dog is God spelled backwards.

A dog is a constant living example of what God's unconditional love for us is.

#12 I was excited to discover what the Pope had actually said so I read the article far enough to find the actual quotation. Boy did the actual meat of what Francis said not match the headline. Certainly there is nothing theologically wrong with telling a kid that there might be dogs in heaven. I don't think we know much about heaven but I'll make my own theological pronouncement: there will be no dwarf tossing nor will there be wet teeshirt contests. There it has been said. I can't promise that either of those activities will be available in hell either for those who consider them essential elements of their long term entertainment needs.

#13 But what is the purpose of heaven without a good dog, a good book, and a good woman?

I don't think heaven is exactly what everyone thinks it is...it is probably paradise and wonderful and eternal childhood and dreams fulfilled.

There will be dogs in heaven or there is no purpose for it.

#14 I think heaven will be good. I can wait for the surprise, but it is fun to speculate.
