I'm Catholic and when I was younger Chick Tracts bothered me a lot because Chick fucking HATES Catholics, like actively despises them.
But funnily, the older I've gotten, and the more I've become invested in the Catholic Faith, the more I've, strangely, come to see him as more right than he knew. As I've become invested in history, philosophy, and theology, I've come to believe that there really is basically an unbreachable spiritual divide between the United States and the Catholic Church. That there's something at the beating heart of what makes America what it is that will never be compatible with Catholicism. That really you can't actually be both a Good American and a Good Catholic.
So, in a weird way, I kind of appreciate Jack Chick these days, because when he makes all these comics going "the Catholics are BAD for America," I think he was more right than he knew.
