Anti-Catholicism in Tennessee

A Baptist leader in Tennessee who originally defended passing out a vile anti-Catholic tract now says he regrets the action. The highly offensive Chick Publications’ leaflet, illustrated in comic book format, criticizes the Catholic Church, the Holy Eucharist, and the Pope. A local priest called the publication "hate material" and is worried that it might "incite violence" in his small town. The Baptist leader said he has removed the leaflet and will no longer distribute it, although he says he will continue to hand out other "less offensive" tracts.
