The Rainbow Bridge, is part of Catholic Dogma according to Pope John Paul II

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.”

Side note: At that time in my life, one of the schools I regularly attended as a non-Christian was a Catholic school that was called Pope John XXII, and I was legitimately confused as to how there were only 2 Pope John Pauls, while there were at least 23 Pope Johns. I think I thought that since a pope doesn't have term limits, that there must not have been too many more popes than British Prime Ministers. Having grown up, I can safely say that while I wasn't exactly incorrect, I was still criminally underestimating the sheer number of people that held both titles.
