"This is a story of treason masquerading as religion; of an empire posing as a church. It is a story of Turkish marriage systems and Oriental politics transplanted to the soil of the United States. It is a story whose every important point is proven by sworn testimony - often by the testimony of the traitors whom it convicts. It is a story every American ought to know; a story patriotic citizens must know, if the republic is to escape the pit dug for it by traitorous priests."
