Chapter 1

Friday, 8:46 AM - Uptown, New Orleans - 2025

High school senior, Zachary Dorsey, started each morning in the makeshift gym in the seminary’s basement. He needed to be sufficiently warmed up before his trainers arrived for his hand-to-hand combat session. Today is his 18th birthday, a monumental symbol distinguishing manhood.

His chocolate eyes and warm smile maintained a boyish charm, but his six-foot, lean, athletic build left no doubt he was approaching manhood. Although Zach was a serious student, he had maintained a boyish fascination with comic book heroes. His trainers had harnessed that fascination into an extensive physical training regimen over the years. The result being that he was a skilled practitioner of the martial arts who had become particularly adept at hand-to-hand combat.

After a rigorous session with the MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) trainers, Zach needed to get ready for the next item in his busy day—academics. Instead of going to Ben Franklin High School, this morning he was to attend Brother Guiden’s lecture at Tulane University.

Zach lived at the Notre Dame Seminary on Carrollton Avenue, the only home he had ever known. Brother Guiden, the popular leader of the Brothers of Sacred Heart, was his only father figure. Zach did not know much about his past, only that he was taken in by the kind, stern man after the death of his parents.

He went into the bathroom to shower and reappeared in his room a few moments later drying his thick locks with a towel, another towel wrapped around his narrow hips. His room was not decorated with posters of favorite rock stars or fashion models. Except for a twin-size bed, a small bedstand, and a wooden desk and chair, Zach’s room was surrounded by floor to ceiling bookcases filled with academic, historical, and translated books on ancient biblical literature. His dedication to learning and to his faith made him spiritually reflective and gave him a solid academic base. He always strived to learn more about himself, his spirituality, and his place in the world. He was able to read at age two, writing by age four, developed an affinity for composing poetry by age seven, and could speak six languages fluently by age ten. He did not consider himself a prodigy, just someone hungry to learn. Having an eidetic memory also helped fill that desire.

While styling his hair, he noticed an unusually large bruise over his heart. He chalked it up to taking a direct blow from one of his instructors. Still, he did think it was quite odd.

Zach checked his watch, he was running late. He dressed quickly, left the seminary, and jumped into his battered 2016 silver Honda Accord. As he took the winding streets from the seminary to the university, he was unaware he was being tailed.

He had been given a parking pass that allowed him to park without being fined. Zach pulled into a parking spot next to the main campus center. As he exited the car, he ran a hand through his slightly damp hair. Before entering, he took a second to close his eyes, took a deep breath, and said a short, silent prayer. A tremendous calm engulfed him, and a breath of fresh air blew away all doubt about his calling.

Tulane’s main auditorium, nestled on tree-lined Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans, was still looking refreshed from repairs from the damage suffered by the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina. Upon entry, the conspicuous smell of fresh plaster and paint still prickled Zach’s nose. The university had refurbished all the wonderful, hand-crafted, marble statues and colorful painted symbols dating back to 16th Century France in the arena. They replaced all the theater chairs with plush royal red movie-style stadium seating that could hold up to 500 guests. On this day, hundreds of religious scholars and priests occupied the main seating area. Miscellaneous guests and a sprinkling of students filled the remaining space to capacity. A large, separate projection screen, podium, and microphone stood on the intimidating main stage. In a theater of this size, a distinct echo could be heard. Zach shook at the thought of hearing every word said reverberated back at him a half-second later. He took some of his classes at Notre Dame Seminary where Brother Guiden taught. He also took various advanced classes at Tulane. The lecture was being held at Tulane because it had a larger auditorium.

As he entered the hall, he saw Samantha DelaCroix seated at the end of the front row. He moved down the aisle to take the seat next to her. “Happy Birthday you!” Sam exclaimed.

Samantha DelaCroix, at the tender age of 17, was smart, cherubic, and pretty, with watchful brown eyes, long, flowing blond hair, and radiant skin. She smelled like oranges. They had met at Ben Franklin High School their freshman year and sat next to each other in history. Even after she transferred to Mount Carmel Catholic High School, the two remained close. She was his rock in every way, even more so than Brother Guiden at times. She understood fundamentally the pain of abandonment, the pain of never being able to know your parents. It was a pain only people who were adopted could understand and Sam was the only person in his life who knew and felt that pain. Although they had been inseparable from day one and had always been uniquely attracted to one another, for whatever reason, dating never seemed in the cards for Sam and Zach.

As Zach took his seat, he saw Professor Earl Lindrum, Chairman of the Tulane Theology Department approach the podium. He would be introducing Brother Guiden. Zach saw the monitor off to the left of the stage. Vatican TV was going to broadcast this specific lecture live in Rome, the first time that a sitting pontiff had ever made such a request. Professor Lindrum nervously fiddled with a crucifix strung around his neck as he reviewed the index cards and made notes.

Brother Guiden’s aide went up and down the aisle, distributing reports that covered the main points of Guiden’s lecture. Guiden was well known in both religious and academic communities as an expert in both ancient manuscripts and conspiracy theories throughout the year. His ability to speak and read several languages allowed him to be regarded well by the “brain trust.”

Professor Lindrum leaned into the microphone and said “Testing, one, two, three.” That was a cue to the audience the program was about to begin. He looked out into the vast sea of humanity and began, “I am proud to announce that the last lecturer of this weekly series on Religion in Today’s

Society, is my dear friend, Brother Jeremiah Guiden, recipient of a 1984 doctorate in Ancient Theological Studies from Tulane University and Headmaster of the world-renowned Notre Dame Seminary located right here in New Orleans. Brother Guiden will be presenting the widely discussed and highly controversial subject: The Jesus Unknown.”

Brother Jeremiah Guiden approached the podium and graciously responded to the audience’s applause. “Thank you, Professor Lindrum, my peers, esteemed colleagues, and the viewing audience of Vatican City in Rome.” A proud, astute, distinguished man, Brother Jeremiah was formally dressed in a silver cassock bound by a royal purple rope band. The loose-fitting robes did not camouflage his muscular build. He spoke slowly, emphasizing the words projected on the overhead screen behind him, “Legends are born when the truth is too dangerous to write.” He took a second to scan the audience, “I want all of you to think about that for just an instant.” Brother Guiden gave the appearance of making eye contact with every person in attendance. This attention to detail always made his lectures memorable.

“If you are present today, it means that you, too, have questions and are in search of answers.” Brother Guiden continued, “I will take it for granted that human nature forces society to always ask what, when, how, and why. I will suggest that absolute truth in religion is a powerful and well-guarded subject, one that has piqued the interest of all Muslims, Jews, Christians, and other denominations in the twenty-first century.” Brother Guiden paused briefly, then said, “You know, there is a rumor going around that to be a good Christian and get into heaven, you need only do three things, over and over again: Pray, Pay, and Obey.”

An unintended laugh ventured from the crowd.

“It is my opinion; a good Christian is not that at all. A good Christian is a person who models themselves after Jesus Christ, a true revolutionary. Someone not afraid or ashamed to get up and speak the truth.”

Gentle applause erupted.

“Remember, in all the written materials, there are only a few instances that caused Jesus to become angry: when he traveled to the Temple Church and witnessed what a travesty humanity had made

of religion, and when the disciples turned away the little children for his blessings. Since I became a Christian all those decades ago, there is one thing I have yet to specifically figure out.” Brother Guiden displayed the following question on the projector screen: “Why has the Roman Catholic religion been so popular, and profitable, throughout recorded history?”

He paused to let this question sink in. “Over the last two thousand years, the Roman Catholic Church has relied exclusively on the faith of its followers. As the head of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, I’m not bound by Church canon like Catholic hierarchy, so I do not defer to certain traditions or codes of conduct. Because of this, I...
