Please don't take this to indicate any affiliation on my part, but a theology professor once pointed out that of the few promises that Christ was that there would be "new heavens and a new earth" which he took to mean that Roman Catholocism offers heaven to everyone and everything. Trees included.

Now don't y'all go off on me. I'm not saying that RCs are right, or that they're better or any of that. I'm just agreeing that a complete theology is a plus and giving a little background.

Peace.
