One of the teens who received the tract at Pigeon Forge High School attends Holy Cross Catholic Church just down the street.
"This girl came up to her and said, 'This will make you very mad,'" said Holy Cross Catholic Church Pastor Father Jay Flaherty.
One of the booklets is titled "The Death Cookie".
"It says that our eucharist is of the devil," Father Flaherty said.
In it, cartoon caricatures of the devil and the pope make an agrement to take over the world with a eucharistic wafer.
"It irritates me that in today's age, with the tolerance we're learning, that this stuff still exists," Father Flaherty said.
"Today's age," of course, would be the one in which the Catholic Diocese of Washington, D.C., has just suspended spousal benefits for all its Catholic Charities employees rather than abide by the District's new gay marriage law, which would require the benefits to be extended to same-sex partners.
