| Plot Summary of Holy Orders |
|---|
"A young priest confronts conflicting loyalties, fear and betrayal, forbidden love and scandal, until he is driven by an uncompromising conscience to justify his ordination.
When his personal integrity is threatened, he is forced to question the authorities to which he must remain obedient: his country, his church, his conscience, and his heart. Which of these authorities constitutes the holiest of orders?"
Rosemary Glenn, Resident Scholar
