Age: 83 Approx. Length of Reign: Over 4 years Prior Name (if different): Giampietro Carafa Feast Day (if applicable): N/A Although elderly when elected, he was a zealous pope who fought against heresy, created the Index of Forbidden books, and rejected Elizabeth of England's claim to the throne. Some have charged him with anti-Semitism due to his measures placing restrictions on Jews (including restricting them to certain quarters, or ghettos). [Note: The customary practice of the popes and of the Church in general are far from condoning persecution of the Jews. In fact, the Church has often been their protector and regularly prayed for their conversion. Some actions taken against Jews in the past may have been motivated by fear or by situational factors (e.g. to protect the faith of Catholics after a large increase in the Jewish population in Rome); the Church, however, staunchly rejects persecution of the Jewish people.]

Age: 81 Approx. Length of Reign: Over 15 years Prior Name (if different): Giovanni Battista Montini Feast Day (if applicable): N/A He continued and closed the Second Vatican Council. In the wake of the council, his papacy saw continual fractionation of the Church.

St. Peter [1]	Birth Date: c. 4 Beginning of Reign: c. 33 End of Reign: c. 64-67 Date of Death: c. 64-67 Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 30 Lived to Approx. Age: 60-63 Approx. Length of Reign: Approx. 31-34 years Prior Name (if different): Simon Bar-Jona (Changed by Christ to Cephas/Peter, meaning "Rock") Feast Day (if applicable): June 29, August 1 (Chains), January 18, February 22 (Chair) Jesus personally instituted the papacy and made St. Peter the first pope ["Jesus said to [St. Peter] in reply, 'Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.'" (Mt. 16:17-19)]. After the resurrection, Jesus confirmed St. Peter's role as head of his Church ["When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?' He said to him, 'Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.' He said to him, 'Feed my lambs.' He then said to him a second time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' He said to him, 'Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.' He said to him, 'Tend my sheep.' He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me?' Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, 'Do you love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.' (Jesus) said to him, 'Feed my sheep.'" (Jn. 21:15-17)]. St. Peter was martyred in Rome. [Click here for more Scripture concerning the papacy. Visit the Non-Catholics Section for apologetics concerning the papacy.]

Age: 68 Approx. Length of Reign: Over 6 years Prior Name (if different): Michele Ghislieri Feast Day (if applicable): April 30 (May 5, Trad.) His papacy saw the important naval victory at Lepanto on October 7, 1571 [The victory was attributed to Our Lady and lead to his establishment of a feast in her honor (Our Lady of Victory, now Our Lady of the Rosary)]. He excommunicated Elizabeth I of England, published the new catechism and breviary, implemented Tridentine reforms, fought immorality and heresy, and perpetually canonized the Tridentine (old Latin) Mass. Pius V was the first sainted pope in many years (the next one being Pope St. Pius X).
Pius VI [251]	Birth Date: December 25, 1717 Beginning of Reign: February 15, 1775 End of Reign: August 29, 1799 Date of Death: August 29, 1799 Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 58 Lived to Approx. Age: 82 Approx. Length of Reign: Just over 24.5 years Prior Name (if different): Giovanni Angelo Braschi Feast Day (if applicable): N/A Engaged in public works projects. Condemned the decrees of the synod of Pistoia. During his long pontificate, Pius faced pressure from the outside from those who wanted to limit papal jurisdiction and secularize education (governments, atheists, and secularists), disobedience from German bishops, and those who wanted to make the Church independent of the pope. His papacy also suffered from the French Revolution and invasion of the papal states. He was forced into exile and made a prisoner by Napoleon Bonaparte. He died a prisoner.
Pius VII [252]	Birth Date: April 14, 1742 Beginning of Reign: March 14, 1800 End of Reign: July 20, 1823 Date of Death: July 20, 1823 Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 58 Lived to Approx.

Bl. Pius IX [256]	Birth Date: May 13, 1792 Beginning of Reign: June 16, 1846 End of Reign: February 7, 1878 Date of Death: February 7, 1878 Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 54 Lived to Approx. Age: 86 Approx. Length of Reign: Over 31.5 years Prior Name (if different): Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti Feast Day (if applicable): February 7 Pius was allegedly elected as a liberal, but would soon become a champion against liberalism. Pius formally promulgated the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, issued the Syllabus of Errors (rejecting tenets of liberalism and secularism), and called the First Vatican Council which formally defined papal infallibility. During his papacy, Rome was incorporated into Italy, ending (secular) papal rule. As a result, Pius protested and engaged in a self-imposed imprisonment in the Vatican which lasted for many years (the "Roman Question" was not settled until 1929). His papacy also saw the restoration of the Hierarchy in England, Holland, and the expansion of the Church in the United States and British Empire. Pius enjoyed one of the longest reigns in papal history, his papacy emphasizing the supreme authority of the pope and central role of the successor to Peter in the Church as a center of unity. [No doubt we can thank the dear Lord for using the ebb of the temporal power of the papacy to highlight the pope's supreme spiritual authority. Providentially, the Lord's Blessed Mother was in the fore.]

Pius XI [260]	Birth Date: May 31, 1857 Beginning of Reign: February 6, 1922 End of Reign: February 10, 1939 Date of Death: February 10, 1939 Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 65 Lived to Approx. Age: 82 Approx. Length of Reign: Just over 17 years Prior Name (if different): Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti Feast Day (if applicable): N/A He signed the Lateran Treaty, ending the "Roman Question" and making the Vatican a sovereign state, instituted the feast of Christ the King, promoted missions, encouraged Catholic Action, and installed a radio station in Vatican City. He condemned communism, abortion, mixed marriage (marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic), and birth control.
Pius XII [261]	Birth Date: March 2, 1876 Beginning of Reign: March 2, 1939 End of Reign: October 9, 1958 Date of Death: October 9, 1958 Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 63 Lived to Approx. Age: 82 Approx. Length of Reign: Over 19.5 years Prior Name (if different): Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli Feast Day (if applicable): N/A Infallibly defined the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
