REVELATION-final1

My last straw had broken and as the nun shut the door in my face, while I reminded her that shewas violating the Church’s teachings by turning away a man in need who seeks sanctuary withthe Church, I felt deep sorrow for the billion Catholics who put their faith in an institution that isbeyond contempt and knew that Fatima’s third vision is soon to come true and end the Churchand with it 2000 years of history.Indifferent rather than disappointed, I made my way to the nearby Norwegian embassy to ask,just for the heck of it, what had happened to my application for asylum. The clerk typed myname into her computer and her face changed color, turning beat red, and then, with a spitefultone in her face told me that no one at the embassy had any desire to speak to me. I thanked herand walked away.Fourteen hours later, just past midnight, I presented my passport at the Peace Bridge Buffaloborder crossing. The Canadian customs officer became as tense as a bowstring as soon as hiscomputer screen flashed my information. He read the text in front of him three times andseemed incapable or unwilling to believe what he was reading. He found an excuse to leave hisdesk and two minutes later returned with two other officers who flanked me on both sides andinformed me that there is an arrest warrant for me and that they will have to restrain me and takeme into custody. My heart did not skip a beat. In fact, I was infinitely calmer than the threeofficers who arrested me and who treated me with the same consideration that might have beenafforded a head of state. The file they had read must have indicated that I am a most wantedperson but must be treated with the utmost caution and respect, which the officers did as theycuffed me gingerly and read me my rights.They then led me to a brand new and sparklingly clean holding cell just a few steps away, uncuffedme, and asked me if I needed anything and then locked the steel door without a sound. Ilay down on the heated metal block that serves as a bed, closed my eyes, covered my face withthe sleeve of my jacket to shelter my eyes from the glaring light above me, which I knew wouldnever be turned off for security reasons, and went into a deep and peaceful sleep.I was in the belly of the beast and I was strong, stronger than at any other time in my life andthen any other person in the world.198
