chick tracts

Fides_et_Ratio

so as I was browsing the latest chick tract... so I know what to be on the lookout for (cruises and such tend to be PRIME for people to leave stupid stuff like that lying around) and I noticed jack chick is getting a little more crafy and subtle with his attacks on Catholicism...

in the latest tract, a lady walking around an art gallery and discussing idolatry walks by a (poorly) reproduced image somewhat similiar to Our Lady of Czestochowa, and then a few with "priests" in vestments with incense, etc.--I'm not too sure what sort of an art gallery she was in...-- and in the end, (this lady who knew nothing of Christianity!) turned out to have rosary beads in her pocket! ... which, it's actually a poorly written tract because the lady herself first brings up idolatry as blasphemy and no more than a few boxes later she has no idea what it is... :idontknow:

anyway, I think some aspiring artist should make parody chick tracts. I know there's one out there about jack chick personally... but I think someone should make one that truly does outline the Catholic faith for what it is.. rather than what jack chick makes it out to be. Whenever I find a tract, I try to fold up a piece of paper refuting his claims, box by box, and then put it back where I found it... but it'd be lot more entertaining if I could draw!

yeah, I tear up tracts I find because the people who put them there will never be back after them and I don't have time to scribble bunches of notes. I hate tracts.

That's a great idea!

I am on it! I know just the person to bring this idea to, in fact, he may have already thought of it himself. Thanks! :D

I've always wanted to produce Catholic tracts. I believe I could write some very good ones on certain subjects. I never thought of doing it comic book style though, I'm not good enough at drawing.

Although, I've heard Chick stopped actually drawing the tracts many years ago. He employs an artist to do all the drawing, he just writes them. Maybe I could find a friend who can draw really well and we could both make them. :)

This is going to happen! If God gives me the grace, I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

lol, if I could get my friend to convert (she's in an art school as a fine arts major... she does it all!).. she would be totally awesome at something like this.

I hate chick tracts. I usually hate tracts in general, but I think it's because most of the ones I come across are slams on Catholicism... it'd just be cool to staple a rebuttle to them instead of having to decide if I have the time to write one out.

I don't know if this provides a true outline of the Catholic faith, but...

If someone makes them, I'll put them on catholicfiles.com. By the way, I've never found a tract anywhere...
