Our new Pope is a Cat Lover

My gray Tom Cat, Bill, will be happy to hear that!

“I went with him once,” said Konrad Baumgartner, the head of the theology department at Regensburg University. “Afterwards, he went into the old cemetery behind the church.

“It was full of cats, and when he went out, they all ran to him. They knew him and loved him. He stood there, petting some and talking to them, for quite a long time. He visited the cats whenever he visited the church. His love for cats is quite famous.”

I’m hoping he makes a big deal out of blessing the animals on the Feast of St. Francis. My pastor has sort of let that go because he’s so busy, but I think those types of celebrations add spice and joy to parish life and I want to encourage him to keep doing it!
