The Venerable Fulton Sheen said it best:

(I’m quoting from memory so it’s not verbatim) “there are millions of Americans who hate what they falsely perceive the Catholic Church to be; there are less than 100 who truly hate the Church”.
 
I did mention that it is common in the American Southeast to find them in public restrooms…
 
My buddy collects Chick Tracts. I have a few I’ve collected and read them online from time to time.

If the guy wasn’t so off the rails about the Catholic Church and a few other things, the “turn to Jesus” message would be an okay one, probably something a few people living bad lives need to hear.

The “Angels” one with about the 500th use of the trope where “rock band sells soul to the devil in the form of agent/ manager/ promoter” is amusing. My buddy’s favorite is “Bad Bob” with the mean biker who finds Jesus after he almost burns to death in a jail fire.

O, Jack knows now.

He went to be judged by God in 2016.

. He must have been surprised to find out the Catholic Church which he had been fighting and misrepresentig all his life actually WAS the One True Church.

Just on the off chance he’s in Purgatory,
Eternal rest grant unto Jack Chick, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.
 
Amen.

His purgation should consist of him having to read every tract he ever wrote from every persons POV who ever read one of them.

Chic wasn’t evil. He truly thought us Catholics were going to suffer damnation so I give him credit for trying to save us lol! However, my favorite is when the man dies and God condemned him to Hell for being a “good” Catholic. Me and my Dad were laughing 😂
 
I’ve mentioned this one on the forum before. The tract is called “Lisa” and is basically about a man who rapes his daughter, allows his neighbor to rape her before dad is found out by the family doctor because Lisa has herpes and so does dad. Doc has dad ask Jesus into his heart, dad reconciles with his wife (whom he blames btw). Jesus love dad, Jesus loves Lisa, blah, blah, blah and no mention that Lisa has an incurable STI, and suffered the trauma of rape and incest.

There are several sites that have the panels for viewing. One of them says it’s no longer available but I think it still is if you specifically ask for it from the company. It’s not listed in their catalog but I have seen it there with my own eyes.
 
@Bruised_Reed

Is this what you’re thinking of?

How in the world can somebody actually be gullible enough to believe any of this garbage? Especially in the West today with the Internet and google?!

Of course, Jack Chick lived in an era before the internet, and that’s when his tracts were the most popular. Further, people don’t read things on paper nowadays- no phone booths are left, fewer seedy bus stations and public restrooms than there was 50 years ago. Nowadays, few would touch written material they saw in a public rest room stall , I think a lot of people were less particular in the 1960’s. I had one passed to me in the 1970’s while hitchhiking.

I don’t know how many people took Mr. Chick’s claims at face value then, although I think they had more respect for those with differing , wrong opinions about thing than they do today.

You mean like the Westboro Baptists?

Westboro Baptists aren’t a religious group, and I don’t think they really believe their banter.

Their scam is to provoke people into violating their free speech rights and then suing them.

There is no connection between these folks and other Baptists.
 
Plus I’m pretty sure they’re mostly family and have like 70 members even according to their records.
Or so.

Might be near dead by now since the founder died.

What gets me is when people act like they’re actually Christians and not Catholics.

They are a religious group, and those who stay in the group do believe their banter. They are primarily a family group and some of the family have left the group. Their father was a respected civil rights lawyer who became an apocalyptic religious nut. I had some long discussions with a schoolmate of the lawyer daughter’s, who also knew the dad somehow. I also had the joy of using a restroom with a whole bunch of them once.

You are correct that they are not a part of any organized Baptist church.
 
They aren’t. I live in Topeka. They pick different churches each Sunday to picket. They stay across the street and carry rather vile signs, including ones with stick figures engaging in sexual activities.
 
Father Alberto Rivera. For me, he will always be the poster child for what Jack Chick represents. For one thing, he points just how willing people are to suspend their critical thinking if someone tickles the ear with what they want to hear. We see this in politics, and in the Church today. For Chick, this con artist must have seen a dream come true. Likewise, for those who have need to hate the Catholic Church, all this conspiracy stuff was, and always will be, a money machine.
 
Sad to hear it.

It’s kinda hard to maintain a moral high ground when you’re doodling 2D pr0n, though, so that’s a little humorous.
