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

Pope John Paul II told her to kick rocks in 1990.

Then in 1990, Pope John Paul II reversed that thinking and proclaimed that animals do have souls and are “as near to God as men are.”

If you could instantiate soulless virtual beings in heaven for your amusement at will, it would be way less boring. You could recreate Mortal Kombat
