| The Wacky World of Catholic Apologetics |
This week’s episode:
The Problem With Protestants.
Hmm . . . sounds suspiciously like the Gospel, ham-fisted delivery notwithstanding.
OK, that’s not too winsome an approach, but it is a comic, after all.
It’s not his fault he doesn't read the Bible! He was poorly catechized!
I’m not sure how being correctly catechized the Catholic way would transform him into an avid Bible-reader, but as we continue, we’ll see that the catechism serves the Bible in bite-sized portions just right for proof-texting Apostolic succession.
He’s had it! He’s not going to take it anymore! He’s going to get out his Bible and show those . . . Oh, wait, I was putting myself into the picture. He’s not going to read the Bible, silly! That's too hard for Joe Catholic to understand! He might misinterpret it. Thank God the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church® has written the answers in the Catechism! Hey, there’s even a nifty magazine to guide him through it!
Wow, look at him now! Who needs a deeper understanding of Scripture when you can have a deeper understanding of Catholicism?
Duck! Incoming proof-texts ripped out of context! Devastating, I must say.
And how very clever to put a Chick comic in the hands of the already clumsy Protestant. What beautiful irony. Painting Protestants with the Chick brush is the same kind of ugly characterization that Chick does to Catholics (and everyone else). This is just another Chick tract!
Joe is the hero. Not only does he have a “masterful grasp” of the Catholic religion (not of Scripture), he gets the girl!
I guess he doesn’t want to be a priest.
Well, I’m sold! Go ahead, click the image at the top of the page. You know you want to.

Hilarious!
The message I am getting is that if there were less ham fisted protestant evangelists there would likely be more Christians at the expense of catholicism.

Yes, that's a distinct possibility.
