A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE YOU READ THIS STORY:  The contents of this story may be sensitive to certain people.  For those of you who read Dan Brown books, you will understand where I got the idea for this story from.

  WARNING:  This story will be about the Catholic Church, more specifically a division of it based in New York that is known for its zealous protection of its faith versus the Wizarding world.  DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ THIS STORY IF YOU FEEL THE CONTENT WILL OFFEND YOU.  I do not want flames saying what an evil person I am for writing about the church this way, yadda yadda, yadda.  YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED.

The above is the reason for this story's R rating, although some smut will come later for those who like that sort of thing, as the muse directs me. 

UPDATE:  November 11, 2003

I've reloaded chapter 1 with the appropriate grammar and spelling fixes, as well as chapter 2.  Enjoy!  Thanks to all who are reading, and everyone please review as it gives me some idea on how people like the story so far.
