In this timely picture book, discover the history of the papacy and how a new pope is chosen!

See inside the walls of the Sistine Chapel and watch from St. Peter's Square as the whole Catholic Church waits to hear the words "Habemus papam—we have a pope!"

Through engaging pictures, this book explains:

  • how the Papacy was established by Jesus Christ during His time on earth,
  • how the cardinals elect a new Pope (and the role of the Holy Spirit in that process!),
  • a beautiful prayer for the Pope, 
  • a glossary of Catholic vocabulary related to the Papacy,
  • and more!

We Have a Pope is a gorgeously illustrated children's book by beloved author Katherine Bogner (All about Lent & Holy Week).

Great for the whole family!

First, we read this book. Then we watched the conclave on live TV. This book was a perfect complement and reference point. It’s filled in very useful information about the process, the prayers, and tradition. The elegant and beautiful yet understated artwork was effective In communicating the spiritual meaning of the papacy and of the selection of a new successor to Peter..

Best book for a time like this!

This book has enough information for your ones to learn about our tradition, without being overwhelmed. So age appropriate! The illustrations are beautiful, and came alive when we were watching the conclave Mass. I’m so glad we got it just in time for this historic time.
