Book excerpt: In Chapters 5 and 6, he presents a strong critique not only of the egregrious Rolf Hochhuth, whose play The Deputy was the origin of this defamation, but covers several modern critics, leaving his strongest words for the anti-Catholic Catholics that blossom wherever microphones can be found. He closes by tying this calumny to the real "culprit" (from the point of view of the critiques), the Catholic Church as the bulwark against the Culture of Death."--BOOK JACKET.
