The Church teaches that animals do not have souls. This is what sets us apart from animals. "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." (Genesis 1:26). God did not make animals in His image. The Bible also says that God "breathed into [man's] nostrils the breath of life" (Genesis 2:7).

We are allowed to bury our pets. However, we should not take it too far. "One can love animals; one should not direct to them the affection due only to persons. " ~Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph #2418

What is Political Catholicism and how is it in modern society?

.Catholic AnswerPolitical Catholicism is a bit of a misnomer in that the Catholic Church, as such, is not really a political force. However, lay Christians are part of the political process, and, as members of the Body of Christ, they have a responsibility as part of their vocation in the lay life to support their governments to the extent that they are capable and to oppose them when they are morally wrong. For more information see paragraphs 898 through 900 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
