I will probably be adding to and editing this as time goes on since I hope to make some notebook pages using the catechism and other resources.
I put it in the form of questions and tried to arrange it so the answers could be found in the link following the question. Later maybe I'll pull out quotes that answer the questions. I tried to start doing that this afternoon but our internet kicked out and I lost all my work : (
Note:
I found from Jenn's blog Family in Feast and Feria that you can join in a novena for the pope and get reminders delivered to your inbox!
Also:
If you know of any other resources that would be useful (or can think of additional questions) please leave a comment! Also, let me know if you find anything weird about any of the resources -- I tried to use only wholesome ones, either orthodox Catholic or solid and fair non-Catholic.

Thank you Erin... I looked on Elizabeth's blog because I was sure she would be planning something like that but didn't find the post, so I am grateful for that link and the other one.
ReplyDeleteThese links are wonderful; thank you! I began gathering some information but got distracted, and haven't had a chance to get back to it yet. So this will be so helpful!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very nice blog; have added it to my RSS Reader.
Blessings,
Cheryl

Thanks, Cheryl, I have added your blog to my reader, too. Thanks for the printable you posted; I linked to it in my post.
Deleteyay! Thank you so much for this! We are doing a pope study too... great thing to keep us out of homeschool burnout in the dreaded month of february and Lent.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melanie! Chari and I would love you to leave a link if you post anything about your study. I bet the graces from all the prayers going out for our pope will be a huge blessing for all of us and for the Church this Lent and beyond. When Pope John Paul II passed away and Pope Benedict was elected, it left such a huge miraculous mark on my family that I am still noticing it.
