Be honest. Are you normal? Are your friends and family normal? If the answer to either question is “No,” this book will make you feel better about yourself. Either it will make you feel normal by comparison, or it will help you understood what makes a person become, remain, and grow ever increasingly not-normal. For example, you learn that “not-normal” is… …genetic. You inherit it from your not-normal ancestors, like the one who drills holes in the floor to fix a leaky roof. You pass the not-normal gene to your children, like the two who play Peter Pan and Captain Hook with real cutlery. …self-selective, like the high school friends with a roast pig bomb, or an Army staff sergeant with a strong attachment to his wife’s prosthetic leg, or the business partner flaunting deelie-boppers at interviews. …attitude, a wild mixture of payback and chain yanking. If you find that you are not-normal, I have three more questions for you. Are we related? Do I know you? Are you in this book?

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.

This book compares the texts of the Traditional rites and the Novus Ordo rites for the seven sacraments, so we can offer substantial reasons for choosing one rite over the other. The plan of the book is simple. For each sacrament, we describe patterns of changes in the texts; then, we lay the texts side by side with comments so you can see particular changes and see the patterns. Finally, we end the comparison of each sacrament by offering some conclusions. Throughout this book, we use the term Traditional to distinguish the Roman Catholic rites before 1962. The authors of the rites promulgated after 1968 use the term Novus Ordo, translated New Order, to describe their new rites. An objective comparison of the texts clearly shows the differences. As St. Thomas Aquinas observed, "What is objectively real is objectively true." The differences in the two rites are objectively real.
