Chick's Anti-Catholic Tracts
Some think the majority of Chick's tracts attack the Catholic church. But that's not true. The vast majority of Chick tracts are Bible stories and "Jesus saves" tracts. Only a small minority of Chick tracts directly confront the Catholic church. They are:
Are Roman Catholics Christians?
The Attack
The Death Cookie
Is There Another Christ?
Kiss the Protestants Good-bye
Last Rites
My Name in the Vatican?
Murph
The Poor Pope
Why is Mary Crying?
Others indirectly blame the Vatican for various conspiracies, including:
Allah Had No Son (blames Islam on the Vatican)
The Beast (shows one of the 4th horsemen as the Pope)
Fat Cats (blames Catholic leaders for promoting communism in South America)
Holocaust (calls the Holocaust an Inquisition)
Ivan the Terrible (blames Communism on the Vatican)
Last Generation (infers the one world government is run by the Vatican)
Macho (infers Catholic priests joined Communists terrorists in in South America)
(If you think of any others, please email me.)
If both the above and below tracts are combined, it comes to less than 15% of Chick's total tract output. (But let's not forget the Alberto full color comics! Some of Jack's best stuff is in there, and its Alberto that got him in trouble with the Canadian censors.) But hey, artists are supposed to rock the boat! Besides, why should the Catholics complain? They got the vast majority of classical European artists and composers promoting their cause. Can't they afford to let the Protestants have Chick? (It's just a rethorical question.)
