“What could they do? Hogtie us? Confiscate our Rosary Beads? Or maybe drag us down to the South Bend Police Station, like the friendly ND Security guys did to that poor old World War II sub vet and a priest in his ’80s. And some nuns and other folks who dared to wear Pro-Life buttons while the Baby Butcher was spouting his lies here and contaminating our campus. “Imagine. Eighty-eight protesters, maybe more, prosecuted for trespassing. Facing a year in jail plus thousands in fines. One set of rules for them; a different one for friends of the university administration. And our Pecksniffian cleric, the Reverend Pater Pankey, sitting on the sidelines, saying nothing. How’s that for Christian charity? He’s turned lip service into an art form.

About the Book
It’s the year 2012 and the “good life” has been wiped out by a dictatorial Marxist government and the Islamization of American culture. The ascent to power of Mubaraq El Baba has reduced the United States to a pawn of Muslim supremacy. At the same time, the University of Notre Dame, a long-time icon of excellence in Catholic education, has sold its soul for government funding and peer-group status among secular institutions of learning. The conferral by Reverend Henry Pankey of an honorary doctorate on El Baba, a zealous abortion advocate, has sundered the school from the Catholic Church and from many in the Notre Dame “family.”
