...public naming of Big Papi has been lamented because of the unique stature Papi had as a beloved, jovial, larger-than-life figure—a Dominican Santa Claus with a hitting prowess sui generis. For a team that serves as the “heart and soul?? of a region to a degree unmatched anywhere else in the country, David Ortiz carried the mantle of “heart-and-soul?? for the Red Sox with greater gusto than almost any player in the league (perhaps Pujols, Jeter, or Ichiro matches him in this metric...

He believed that “animals possess a soul?? and are “as near to God as men are.” Nor is this sentiment new: Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) was the patron of the French Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Pope John XXIII (1958-63) declared that “man must never hurt animals, must never ill-treat them, nor torture them physically.” In Saint Thomas Moore’s Utopia, the slaughtering of animals...
