The pastor of the local fundamentalist something-or-other church in the neighborhood (he tried to claim to be Baptist, and the htree other local Baptist churches issued a flyer disavowing any connection with him) handed my (then three year old) daughter a handful of the most bigoted anti-Catholic Chick tracts I've ever seen last Halloween. Even told her she was going to 'roast in the fires of Gehenna."

He was MOST displeased when I made an appointment to discuss them, and told him it wasn't appreciated.

I swear, some people get their panties all in a knot at the idea of others having anything resembling fun, if it doesn't jive with their beliefs.

Yeah, the anti-Catholic tracts from Jack Chick are among the worst of the ones he puts out. They really tell you where he's coming from. And, if you're actually a Christian, they pretty much tell you where he's going.

Hoo-boy! Somebody tries that on MY kid, he'll draw back a nub, as they say. If they want to do some proselytizing on the grownups, fine, but don't start on the kids . . .

There is a virulent anti-Catholic at our office, poor girl has been deluded by the Chick tracts. I think I'm making some progress, though . . . pointing out that anybody would detest a "religion" as described by Chick, but that he's got it wrong because he's misinformed.

Haven't gotten her to Mass yet . . . . < g >
