This work of fiction satirizes a church scandal that took place in
Manassas, Virginia between 1998 and 2002. The chronology and many
details come directly from court depositions and newsprint
articles, and many of the quotations come directly from
church-sponsored lecturers and publications. The story unfolds with
a predator priest using his role as a spiritual director to seduce
a woman in his flock. The local bishop engages in a sordid
cover-up. A good priest is persecuted for helping the aggrieved
husband. Welcome to the Hotel Novus Ordo suggests a different
outcome than the real-life story. Irony and humor highlight the
underlying causes of the scandal and lessen the pain of reliving
the events.
