At my Catholic high school, one of the teachers who was a Dominican sister told us that animals can’t go to heaven but it’s possible for them to be recreated in heaven.

I feel fine as long as my rabbit didn’t go to purgatory or hell, but non-eternal souls are hard to relate to

Today I learned that apt is like apt-get but newer
