The idea of a special place for the human race has been a gigantic debate between several scholars, theologians, scientist and philosopher. The truth remains that for most Christians, Heaven is real. Though, this belief is personal than collective, the idea of animals going to heaven have not been given much thought as some can conclude that animals don't go to heaven.
In a twist this past week, the Pope has opened yet another controversial chapter, in his own words he said,"One day we will see our animals again in eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all God’s creatures."
Some people all over the world have been excited in recent days about reports by news agencies worldwide -- including one from CNN -- declaring that Pope Francis apparently believes they can. It turns out it's unclear what he believes about this.
A previous pope, Paul VI, had no doubts. "One day we will again see our animals in the eternity of Christ," Paul once told a boy grieving the loss of his pet.
Now, i am sure that this will bring a big argument among several level of persons, but that will be left for us all to confirm, when Jesus comes to take us to heaven.
