Book Description

February 9, 2001
The Sacred Robe takes the reader into the lives of ordinary families who are blessed with the opportunity of having a son enter the priesthood. Jamie, is one such young man who prays and finally win over the support of his parents.

Within months of his enrollment, Jamie is the recipient of the most unwanted attention imaginable. This predicament is sustained until his life and academic progess is shattered. At the same time, the police have been called in to investigate complaints from other parents whose children have encountered similiar situations. During the entire period of time encompassing this book, church officils are working tirelessly to effect an outcome that minimizes any public relations damage to the church.

When the church is eventually confronted with its inevitable obligations, it still continues to frustrate the authorities and make life hell for innocent victims. The crusading efforts of those in journalism and law make for a conclusion worthy of the immoveable object vs. the irresistable force.


Editorial Reviews

From the Author

The Sacred Robe is a book that needed to be written. One of the most dominating public issues of the last 10-15 years has been relevations of child abuse at the hands of some of the most trusted members of the community. We've seen highlights of this social phenomenon on current events and we've read academic works but The Sacred Robe is a novel as timely as The Satanic Verses. This is a novel that all churches secretly hoped would never get written. The issue of conspiring to pervert the course of justice is one that the churches hoped would remain untold. The Sacred Robe tells all in a clear easy to understand novel.

From the Inside Flap

Now for the first time, Brian Schwab takes the reader on a journey behind Catholic Church power. From sexual abuse in a seminary to perverting the course of justice, The Sacred Robe is an absorbing, shocking, revealing narrative.
