Italian animal protection
group ENPA on Thursday appealed to Pope Francis to lift a ban on
cats and dogs as pets on Vatican property.
The pet ban stems from current condominium rules.
ENPA chief Carla Rocchi wrote to the pope to "bring to the
attention of His Holiness this problem that provokes the forced
separation from loved ones, above all in this sad time of
pandemic".
She said that she was sure the pope's "sensitivity" and his
taking St Francis of Assisi's name would spell the end of this
"anachronistic" norm.
