Secular humanism has triumphed. Everything the overdue Victorians and Edwardians thought would bring human being joy has been achieved: Technology has managed to get so no one needs to improve a living, the communal sciences ensure a smooth-running communal order, and, in the name of tolerance, religious beliefs have been uprooted and eradicated except for a single holdout - a basically discredited and speedily shrinking Catholic Church. Yet people are miserable. What has been created is a sterile world of crass materialism, a world without spiritual dimensions, a world where people daily choose legalized euthanasia over the emptiness of lifestyle. Out of this culture of despair, there arises a charismatic leader: Julian Felsenburgh. Soon the people are in Felsenburgh's thrall, and he becomes leader of the world. However in their eagerness for change, contain the residents of the world embraced the Antichrist and hastened the finish of days? Father Percy Franklin remains a bastion of stableness, even while the Catholic Church disintegrates around him. Finally outlawed and motivated underground, it is only this small and shrinking cathedral that stands resistant to the "Lord of the World".
