Fides_et_Ratio Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 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... 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!

Brother Adam Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theculturewarrior Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 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.

theculturewarrior Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 We're both on it! Great! This is going to happen! If God gives me the grace, I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fides_et_Ratio Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 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.

photosynthesis Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I don't know if this provides a true outline of the Catholic faith, but... [url="http://swaft.info/cheek/cheek0.html"]http://swaft.info/cheek/cheek0.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
