CSLF Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I would like to know the official teaching of the Church, from a source outside the Catechism if possible, on animals and their souls. Is there anything ex cathedra on this? What is the difference between a soul and a spirit? If there are different kinds of souls, why are they referred to as souls? Thanks!

Brother Adam Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Animals have finite, mortal souls, whereas man has an immortal soul that will last forever. When an animal dies it ceases to be. When a man dies he continues on, either to heaven or hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
