Welcome to Pop Goes Catholicism!
I'm Jerry Harrington, Director of Catholic Media Resources and creator of Pop Goes Catholicism. Thanks for visiting. Pop Goes Catholicism is my project to bring together two of my life-long loves: Catholicism and Pop Culture. Thus far (although there's a lot of new on the horizon), I've created faith formation resources in the form of a one page pdf download (that I call the Pop Goes Catholicism Resource Sheet) as well as some free audio resources excerpted from the sheets. Below are samples and explanations of both. I hope you find them useful.

This sample is used in the guide below.
Resource Sheet Guide
A Pop Goes Catholicism Resource Sheet has three main components that help you to:
- Recognize Your Faith, with a Faith Connection essay that shows you Catholcism in popular media, and to
- Grow Your Faith, by providing Related quotations from Scripture and the Catechism from which to learn more, and finally to
- Apply Your Faith through Discussion Questions that challenge you to live the faith in everyday life.
Below is a graphical guide to a PGCRS.
The resource shown in the guide is the Sample Resource Sheet, available for download above.
Sample Audio Resource
Here's the first audio resource that I posted to accompany the free Resource Sheet sample. It's a little rough, but gives you the general idea of the relationship between audio resource and resource sheet.

Amazon Links
Catholic Media Resources (PGC's parent company) used to be an Amazon affiliate, until tax law reform caused Amazon to kill that program here in Illinois! Thus, while shopping through these links no longer benefits me, I leave them as still a very convenient way to acquire the media at hand.
