Is a Bear Catholic?
We finally have an answer to this long-standing philosophical puzzle. The answer is Yes! Benedict XVI had used this bear on his coat of arms as Bishop, and he took it with him to Rome....
The bear refers to a legend about St. Corbinian, who lived in Bavaria around 700 AD. Supposedly Corbinian was preparing to travel to Rome when a bear mauled his pack mule. He converted the bear, which then carried him to Rome. So even if most bears are not Catholic, this one was! ¶ 7:02 AM
