“One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures.” – Pope Francis

This was widely reported in news media, but then almost every media outlet that covered it retracted the story. It originated from a mistranslation of an Italian newspaper that was then reported, and retracted, by the New York Times.

The original story was trying to quote a much earlier pope:

One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ.

Pope Paul VI
