In our book We Have a Pope, we depicted the unbroken legacy of the papacy on this page, where the "keys" of St. Peter are handed from one Pope to the next. Rather than try to depict the 266 Popes that have guided the Church so far, we picked a few key people for this illustration.
You can learn more about each of these Popes in these Papal Trading Cards, which include St. Peter, Pope St. Gregory the Great, Pope St. Celestine V, Pope St. Pius V, Pope Leo XIII, and Pope St. John Paul II. There's also a card with a Prayer for the Pope! After learning about these Saints, you could research one of the many other Popes and create your own trading cards with interesting facts and biographical info.
This activity features art from Kortnee Senn from our book We Have a Pope.
