Popes and saints
Origin of the church and the papacy
St. Peter was the first pope, chosen by Jesus, in the first century as noted by Matthew chapter 16. “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church... I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” These words circle the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and serve as the biblical mandate for the papacy.

U.S. CATHOLIC CHURCH STATISTICS
True or False?
Has Catholicism experienced the greatest net losses as a result of affiliation changes? It may seem that way because it is the single largest faith in the U.S. and proportions make a difference.
3rd Highest Retention Rate
Among faith groups with an estimated
3 million or more adult members, 68% of U.S. adult Catholics stay with the religion they were raised in.
Families have
less money
to send their children to
Catholic school.
More than 50% of those considering religious orders attended a Catholic elementary school. Men who attended a Catholic secondary school are more than six times as likely as those who did not to consider a vocation.
Communities have turned away some inquirers (about vocation pursuit) within the last 10 years because of educational debt.
Of ordinands have a bachelors
degree and most have more than
STUDENT
LOAN DEBT
Most of those ordained have been Catholic since birth (9% converted). 81% come from families where both parents are Catholic.
Born and
Raised Catholic
MILLENIALS
(born after 1982) are even more likely than the previous generation to consider a vocation.

The Church needs to support more structured outreach to younger people to ensure their integration into a Catholic culture.

35. Most Interesting Journal/Concept Development Pages
The target audience for this infographics video would be the U.S. Catholic Population.
35

36. 1
This storyboard will not necessarily be the order I would like to present the infographic, but some of these images may be used.
The top left image best illustrates the four vocation options for Catholics – marriage, priesthood, sisterhood and single life.
The phone receiver image is recognizable to older generations, but may not be to those younger than 20. Another sketch on the following pages depicts the “call” in a more widely recognizable way.
2
Conveying the idea of cultivation and growth with nature can be understood universally on the first and last slides. This storyboard has the ability to also evolve the concept further when combined with other sketches and ideas highlighted.
The baby illustrates born, but does not necessarily convey raised. The sacramental images (from Baptism to Holy Orders is sketched on another page). Each of the other drawings in this storyboard are more easily understood.
36

37. 3
These sketches illustrate the path of being raised Catholic from Baptism through Holy Orders (ordination). It more clearly demonstrates being born and raised Catholic.
4
These sketches are another rendition of cultivation and growth. I think that the third slide, showing how the church has grown is a better example than the plot on the chart. This idea can be expanded by showing a similar graphic with growth of the Catholic population, and conversely with the decline in number of priests.
The fourth slide for support is not very strong, and will be replaced with another idea. The last slide does a better job of conveying support.
37

38. 5
These sketches illustrate the sacraments which a Catholic receives from birth through answering their call for vocation – Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion, Confirmation, and then the choice for Marriage or Holy Orders. The last slide has a sketch of a phone more easily recognizable than the handset shown previously.
6
A continuation of storyboard 5 above. The sketch showing the priest’s collar, Holy Communion, and church not only depict the priesthood but also the duties he performs. The steps shown here fully conveys the concept from beginning to end, and has room to evolve and include other highlighted storyboards. The last slide at the end with the hands holding the family, church and priest conveys the message of support better than slide 5 in the fifth selected storyboard above.
38

39. 7
The sketches on this page tackle the problems that have affected the decline in priesthood. I may use a different graphic than the first one for showing decline in religious education, but the six priests for 6x as likely is more effective than the text I used on the poster.
8
This storyboard starts to show more the direction I think the video should go. That is, start with the problems and explain what needs to be done. Sketches from other storyboards can fill in the gaps in between.
The last slide, using hands to make the A may not come across clear in the video, but I think I can figure out a way to animate and take the idea further.
39

40. 9
This storyboard also starts with the problem, but ends with a call to action. I think it starts out better than storyboard 8 on the previous page because it starts with a hook. I don’t think I will use the plotted graphs to show the decline in priests and rise in Catholics, but will opt to use an image similar to slide 3 on storyboard 4. I may also use 7 mortarboards out of 10 simliar to the 7 out of 10 churches to repeat on the same idea elsewhere in the infographic.
10
This was the very last storyboard I sketched, and I think that the numbers here convey a more compelling story than the plotted graph with declining/rising percentages. Here it compares the ratios of parishes to priests to number of Catholics in the U.S. For example, there are 2 priests for every 2004 Catholics in the U.S. and 4387 Catholics to every parish. With that many Catholics in each parish, the church/parish should be able to collect enough money to support the hiring of more priests and take on their student loan debt.
