We Have A Pope!
We are all familiar with the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. Karen Congeni s pictures are worth thousands of words in We Have A Pope! as she deftly explains the papacy to children. This book is a beautiful introduction for our young people to the ministry of the Successors to Saint Peter. ---Most Rev. Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York/President, United States Conference of Catholic BishopsWe Have A Pope! is a wonderful catechetical lesson about the papacy disguised as a photographically illustrated children s book. Simple, yet effective, it tells the story of Peter, the first Pope, describes the Pope s role in the Church, and introduces readers to our current Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI. I was won over by the book s simple way of teaching and the beautiful photographs and historical artwork that accompany the text. ---Tim Drake, Faith and Family: The Magazine of Catholic Living...simple images are juxtaposed to reproductions of more classically artistic depictions of St. Peter immersed in pastoral activities. However, most of the images dovetail with the life of the current Pontiff. As such, they will likely appeal to his devotees, and will surely inspire sentiments of affection in the reader. In all these images the Holy Father, the bishops and laity show themselves at home in the world, happy and at peace in their respective roles in God s service. ---Catholic Library World
