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.
