They also captured Chick and are holding him in an underground cell in Rome. They’ve planted a lookalike in his place and are now issuing erroneous materials to confuse the anticatholics and make them look bad. :cool:

Its not very catholic to try and judge the state of another’s soul.

Jack Chick is pretty old, he might not be conscious of a lot of things, and seems to be a tad paranoid from what I understand of him.

Although, IMO, he probably believes in what he’s doing, otherwise he would have found a smoother way out of dealing with his Alberto Rivera flap which was researched and debunked by a protestant mag.

Does Chick believe he’s serving God the right way or he knows what he’s doing is wrong but wants to continue for money? If he believes he does nothing wrong, does that mean he isn’t in a state of mortal sin?

I am now in RCIA.

A very dear friend of mine, Larry, was an evangelist. About 20 years ago, Larry trained me in how to talk with people about Jesus. For about six years, I really kept at it.

Sometimes I ordered Jack Chick tracts in boxes of 1,000 (usually the “This Was Your Life!”). My friend Larry sometimes would write to Jack Chick personally. Larry had wrote a “car-wreck” tract, and also a small booklet on how to share Christ with others.

Jack Chick did drawings for my friend Larry’s tract and booklet. And I am quite convinced that there was no financial gain for Jack Chick as a result of doing these drawings for Larry. I think Jack gave the drawings to Larry for free. My friend Larry did not have much money. So I firmly think that Jack Chick just doesn’t understand Catholicsm or the Catholic Church. And I think Jack Chick is sincere in his efforts towards getting people to repent and consider dedicating themselves to Jesus Christ. My friend Larry sent me a photocopy of a letter he got from Jack Chick.

And Jack Chick strongly urges Christians to read the Bible every day. In one book, he strongly suggests a plan of reading 10 chapters in the Bible every day (a chapter from different sections of the Bible).

I am sure that there are some who will disagree with me. But I do not think the worst of Jack Chick. Jack Chick also has a lot of tracts that are not about Catholicism at all.

Instead, I know that God is a good God. And Satan is a bad devil.

I just looked at Jack Chick’s newest tract
chick.com/reading/tracts/1020/1020_01.asp

The tract shows a girl learning about the 10 commandments.
The girl realizes that she has broken one of them.
One picture in the tract focuses on the Passion of Christ.

The back cover (like all his other tracts) urges readers to:
(1) Read your Bible every day to get to know Jesus Christ better.
(2) Talk to God in prayer every day.
(3) Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a Church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.
(4) Tell others about Jesus Christ.

Obviously “the Bible is the final authority” is problematic. I suppose that my Catholic brothers regard it as anti-Catholic. But even in Protestant Churches, the Bible is not the final authority. What Church really has the Bible as the final authority?

No I think he actually sincerly thinks he is doing the work of the Lord. I actually have some admireation for him, he does have strong gidt of Faith and love for God. But He is blinded by his love of God so much, that Satan just directs him as he pleases and he never sees who his master really is. He only produces hate, and he uses hate to propel his “ministry”. I pray for this man allot BION.
If there was ever a example of why we need the hiarchy its Chick. I mean imagine if he was kept in check by a bishop or the catachism? He is very passionate and talanted, he could do allot for the Church.

How can you do God’s work and at the same time be so hateful? In one of his tracts, he has this cartoon Catholic couple arguing while driving, then the car wrecks and the abusive husband ends up in Hell… Of course, he thought the Last Rites & his life-long adherence to Catholocism would save him & it didn’t… The God Chick seems 2 “believe” in is one who cannot even take into account the man’s ignorance concerning things spiritual. The God we Catholics believe in says that “to whom more is given, more is required” (don’t know where that’s at in the Bible…). Anyway, i just don’t buy it that Chick is sincere. I believe the other posters who say he is in it for the money…

I know someone who wrote to J. Chick and explained a lot of things about the Faith to him. He obviously disregarded it and i am sure he has had the Faith explained 2 him by others as well… The Church teaches that only those who are innocently ignorant (as it were) of the Faith can be saved… I believe that when a person continously turns his back on truth, he can get to the point where he just doesn’t care about it anymore… & that a person can get to the point of searing his conscience… leading to the unforgivable sin… I’m not saying Chick is lost… but we should definitely pray for him and for all those who appear to be… “You will know them by their fruits…”

If the guy in the cartoon went to Hell, it was for being so abusive to his wife and/or other things, not the fact tht he was CAtholic… No religion can save a person without that person’s consent and cooperation…

Last October my daughter (age 10) was invited by a neighbor to trick or treat with her at her Baptist church. They wore costumes and had games and gave out candy. When she came home and I went through her treat bag, candy wasn’t the only thing in there…there were also at least 20 tiny little comic books by Jack Chick. Needless to say, my daughter is not allowed to go there anymore!

They might not have necessarily been from the Baptist church, especially since Chick has anti-halloween tracts. I find it hard (though certainly not impossible) to believe that a church that followed Chick would go trick-or-treating. It seems much more likely that the anti-halloween chick supporters would give out tracts to children instead of candy.
 
I think people like Jack Chick are doing more to make Catholicism look good than many Catholics are.😃

Not on purpose, ofcourse.😉

I’ve been Catholic all my life, but always thought highly of the Baptists - until i learned a few things. I realize that the tracts may not have been given out by the Baptists… But in any case, did you know that the Baptist church in Selma. Alabama in the 60s, early 70s didn’t allow Blacks, even after the Fed gov instituted de-segregation? The Catholics, on the other hand, helped with the civil rights movement. I read this interesting account of a priest who helped a black man to go to school 2 become a lawyer… (etc.).
I know it may sound extreme, but i often feel that the bad spirit of Martin Luther (not ML King, but “the Father of Protestantism”) infects Protestant churches to this day… and since that bad, heretical spirit is from the devil is it any surprise that more Protestants are guilty of this racist sin & others… than Catholics? In fact, i don’t even know any Catholics who are racists… (none whot were raised CAtholic…)… I know, that probably sounds uncharitable toward the Protestants, but i am just calling it as i see it. I realize its not their fault they weren’t raised in the right Church… We need to continue 2 pray for all those outside the true Faith… They are in error in more ways than we always realize…
