Children can spend hours paging through OSV Kids Discover: The Pope. This book is filled with fun facts and eye-catching graphics about the life, history, theology, and unique role of the office of the pope.
The pope is the head of the Catholic Church. He is the successor to Saint Peter -- the first pope and the person to whom Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. In the two thousand years since Jesus announced he was going to build his Church upon Saint Peter, hundreds of men have held the title of Pope. Fun fact: Did you know that the word "pope" comes from the Latin word papa, which means father?
From discovering interesting information about papal pets and popemobiles to absorbing serious explanations of papal authority and infallibility, children can return to this book again and again to enjoy and appreciate the gift of the papacy to the Church.
