Answering Kids Questions About Catholicism

Last year when I began team teaching CCD/PREP I went looking for some books that would help me answer some of the questions the kids where asking. I found 2 really good books. Both of them are by Matthew J. Pinto. The first is "Did Adam & Eve Have Belly Buttons?" and the second is "Did Jesus have a last name?" I found both books to be very interesting and very sound in their answers. I have used them to help answer questions in class and questions my own children have asked. Here are some of my favorite questions.

1. How can we pray the Rosary and think it is a good thing if Jesus condemned repetitious prayer in Matthew 6:7?
   
2. How can the pope be totally infallible? If he is, why does he not win the Lottery?
   
3. If Jesus was Jewish, why are we Catholic?
   

All of the questions in the book were actually asked by children. Their first name and ages are actually listed in the books. I guess if you want to find out the answers you will have to read the books. I am sure you won't be disappointed.
