[nagdu] Catholics and Mormons are supposed to allow our dogs per their leaders....

[Dailyah]

I would need to do more hunting than I've the time to do today, but if someone is willing to go digging in to do some research...there exist orders from central authority for both the LDS (Mormons) and the Catholic churches saying that service dogs are to be welcomed in their churches...If I think about it next week, I'll try to find and post each of the documents these two Churches sent out.  No promises, though.  Hectic week ahead.

Hi Dan, a few years ago my dog and I went all over Salt Lake City 
and had no issues anywhere.  We went into the Conference Center 
to hear an organ recital only because the Tabernacle was being 
earthquake-proofed.  We went on tours, saw Briggam Young's house, 
everything.

As far as the Catholic Church, I have never been denied entrance 
to Mass in any church, but I was going to go on retreat to an 
Abbey in British Columbia with a friend.  She mentioned that I 
would have my Seeing Eye dog with me.  (I don't usually 
disclose).  The Abbot wouldn't allow dogs of any sort in.  So I 
chose not to go on the retreat.  If it had been a retreat house 
in the U.S.  I might have tried fighting it by going to the 
Diocese but in this case since it was Canada and not my country I 
just said I wouldn't go.  So that was that.    Peace,    Debby
