The Pope likes animals ....

"The Holy Father expressed that he wanted to meet some of our native animals, so we were more than happy to offer him this experience," he said.
Fr Mark said the Zoo staff were very professional showing great love for the animals they care for included a wallaby, koala, python, lizard, baby crocodile and an echidna. The Pope patted each of the animals and thanked the team from Taronga Zoo .....

Whatever happened to the cats he had when he was cardinal?
If they make me pope, I'm taking my cat to the Vatican with me.
And my wife and kid.
I said I like this pope on the cats and Mozart things; and his great analysis of Fatima. However....on other things like playing "footsie" with ID and his stronger than American bishops on gays stand....well I'll just have to see.As if, he would care about my opinion:) Jack
I think that I read that his cats live with his brother now.

I'm glad to see you have your priorities straight :)
I guess he's just like everyone else - a person of parts :)
