I did a comic in Chick format intended to combat a misconception about Catholicism. Check it out, tell me what you think.

I love it! Very nicely done. You should definitely do more.

it was a good comic strip... but I guess FE is not a good site for anxious Catholics or persons who want to know the faith.

All good, except for the fisheaters ad -- and there are two p's in worshipper and worshipping. :smile:

Thanks, guys! Thanks for the spell check, spelling's not always my strong point.

Joan Schlastica, what site would you suggest? I'm not to big on Catholic Answers, so I wouldn't do them.

Nice comic. Except I wish it was really that easy to make those Prots see the truth. I once met a Prot who refused to admit that Mary was the Mother of God. I broke it down to him into a formula that was as simple as 2+2=4. Yet he still refused to admit what was so evident:

ME: Mary is the mother of Jesus, right?

HIM: Yes.

ME: Jesus is God, right?

HIM: Yes.

ME: So then, Jesus is the mother of God

HIM: NO.

ME: But if Jesus is God, and Mary is the mother of Jesus, that that means that Mary is the mother of our God Jesus

HIM: But Mary is not the mother of God!

I think this is where the "pearls before swine" comes in! It is just impossible to deal rationally with someone who rejects an obvious truth. Also, in a sense that person is sinning because it is a sin against nature to intentionally reject that which is obviously true (our minds are naturally ordered to truth).
