The anti-catholic stuff is scary - http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0071/0071_01.asp

It implies that catholics are anti-American and picks up lots of pagan references. Of course - protestant christianity has lots of pagan references too....

And then says that it is controlled by satan...

This one is weird - http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1000/1000_01.asp

"Israel's deadliest enemy is the vatican. God will destroy the vatican just before the second coming of the messiah"

Apparently England is cursed too.

"God has always blessed the US for not persecuting the Jews and for supporting Israel... America is becoming a mere puppet to the UN and the World Court."

Nationalism and religion (and international affairs) is a very scary mix.

Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about all of that anti-Catholic rhetoric. Somewhere in their publications, they talk about these pagans who co-opt Christianity by making Mary into a type of Semiramis and Jesus into a type of Nimrod.

Here's an historical overview for those who may be interested -- I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's generally the basis for Chick's assertions.
