Toledo Diocese - Priest charged with killing put on leave; review set for claims by David Yonke 4/28/04 "A Toledo Catholic priest charged in the 1980 ceremonial killing of a nun was placed on a leave of absence yesterday after Bishop Leonard Blair made a "pastoral visit" to the Rev. Gerald Robinson in the Lucas County jail.Bishop Blair's action bars the 66-year-old priest from public ministry - including celebrating Holy Communion or any other sacrament. Father Robinson remained in jail last night in lieu of $200,000 bond. He was arrested Friday and arraigned Monday on a murder charge in the April 5, 1980, death of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl in the chapel of the then Mercy Hospital. The murder occurred on Holy Saturday, one day before Easter and the nun's 72nd birthday. In a statement released yesterday, Bishop Blair announced the Diocesan Review Board will "revisit" allegations made by a woman who told the seven-member panel in June that she had been sexually and physically abused during her childhood by a number of Catholic priests, including Father Robinson. The Blade does not identify victims of sexual abuse. The Blade reported Sunday that the woman's detailed statements last year about Satanic rituals and sadomasochistic orgies by Toledo-area Catholic priests led a member of the review board and a local victim's advocate to take the case to the state attorney general's office. The Diocesan board member, Dr. Robert Cooley, was removed from the panel for his actions.....Chet Warren of Sylvania, a defrocked priest, was mentioned prominently in statements to the Diocese Review Board. While investigators could not substantiate or dismiss the woman's allegations, her mention of Father Robinson prompted them to reopen the case....But yesterday afternoon, the diocese issued a statement attributed to Bishop Blair that said two diocesan investigators will continue to check into the statements of the woman....Another Catholic priest, The Blade has learned, was mentioned prominently in the Toledo woman's written and verbal statements to the review board. Chet J. Warren, a former member of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales religious order, has since been defrocked. Mr. Warren of Sylvania has been accused of sexually abusing at least eight minor girls in the 1970s. He was sued in April, 2002, by Teresa Bombrys, now of Hilliard, Ohio. She claimed in her lawsuit that is pending in Lucas County Common Pleas Court that Mr. Warren sexually molested her for four years beginning when she was in the fourth grade. Ms. Blaine said Mr. Warren began molesting her when she was 13, and her suit was settled out of court by the Toledo diocese and the Oblates in 1994. She said at least two other victims have told her about ritual abuse by Mr. Warren and that she or other SNAP officials have been contacted by more than a dozen alleged victims of Mr. Warren. Catherine Hoolahan, an attorney representing a dozen clients with pending lawsuits against the Toledo diocese, said three claim they were abused during rituals and Satanic rites....Bishop Blair, who has said he is deeply saddened by Father Robinson's arrest and the reports of ritual abuse, leaves today for Rome with Auxiliary Bishop Robert Donnelly for their semiannual meeting with Pope John Paul II." http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040428/NEWS03/404280366
Bizarre tale led to Toledo priest's arrest 4/26/04 by John Seewer Toledo, Ohio "Investigators re-examined the 1980 slaying of a nun whose body was found in a chapel surrounded by candles after another woman alleged she was abused by Roman Catholic priests during satanic and sadomasochistic rituals, a newspaper reported Sunday. Investigators said they could not substantiate the woman's allegations, but her mention of the Rev. Gerald Robinson spurred police to take another look at the nun's murder -- in which he had always been a suspect. Robinson, 66, was charged Friday with murdering Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, who was strangled and stabbed about 30 times on April 5, 1980. Her body was found in a hospital chapel, surrounded by lit candles with her arms folded across her chest.....The woman, now in her 40s, alleged that the clerics killed an infant and a 3-year-old child, performed an abortion on her and mutilated dogs, according to a copy of her statement obtained by the Blade. She described satanic ceremonies in which priests placed her in a coffin filled with cockroaches, forced her to ingest what she believed to be a human eyeball, and penetrated her with a snake ''to consecrate these orifices to Satan.'' Police said they could not substantiate any of the woman's claims. The woman alleged Robinson was involved in her ritualistic abuse, said Claudia Vercelloti of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests." http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-nun26.html
