We Have a Pope! Talking with Kids About the Papacy, the Conclave & the Chair of St. Peter

with Katie Bogner of Look to Him & Be Radiant

Author, educator, and beloved friend of Living LIT—Katie Bogner—returns to the podcast for a timely and thoughtful conversation on the papacy, the Conclave, and how to bring these sacred realities into the heart of our homes and classrooms.

As the Church prepares for the election of a new pope, Katie joins Robyn to talk about how we can help our children and families understand this sacred and historic time. Drawing from her beautiful book We Have a Pope, Katie shares how to explain the Conclave, the papacy, and the Holy Spirit’s role in guiding the Church—all in ways that are clear, reverent, and meaningful for kids. The Conclave isn't just for Cardinals-it's a time for the whole Church to pray and participate, including children. Join us for a conversation that's rich in faith, full of practical ideas and rooted in the Truth.
