'''The Big Betrayal''' is a full-length (64 pp.) comic written by [[Jack Chick]]. It was originally printed in 1981, and remains in-stock. Unlike their tracts, it is not available for free viewing on the Chick Publications website; it can only be purchased either in print or electronic form.
The comic is an adaptation of '''Fifty Years in the Church of Rome''', the autobiography of [[Charles Chiniquy]], a French-Canadian who lived in the mid-1800's and notably left the Roman Catholic priesthood to become a [[Presbyterian]] minister. However, the comic is loaded with Chick's conspiratorial views toward Catholicism (specifically that the Jesuits were involved in President [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s assassination). Moreover Bishop O'Brien (who had legitimate disagreements with Chiniquy) is caricatured in the comic as a pipe-smoking leprechaun figure, which is considered offensive toward people of Irish descent.
