Toledo, Ohio - April 5, 1980:

A Roman Catholic priest named Gerald Robinson murdered a nun colleague in the sacristy of the hospital chapel of Sisters of Mercy Hospital (now Mercy Hospital). The murder was very quick, but it bore the hallmarks of a satanic sacrifice. The nun and a head nurse of the hospital, Sister Ann Margaret Pahl, had been strangled, stabbed over a dozen times in the neck and chest, forming an upside down cross, and her underwear pulled down, though she didn't seem to have been sexually assaulted. Before he fled, he mocked the sacrament of Extreme Unction to dying Sister Pahl by smearing a cross on her forehead in her own blood.
So, lets dig down into that a little more:
Sister Pahl's 71st birthday was the next day, which fell on Easter Sunday, the most important holiday for Roman Catholics. This would not have been usual for her, as the date of Easter varies, and for a nun this must have felt very special.

The day between Good Friday (Jesus's crucifixion) and Easter Sunday (his resurrection), is Holy Saturday and this is the only day of the year when the communion is removed. It is considered a day of mourning, which is fitting that shortly before she was found murdered, she had also been seen by others crying bitterly because Father Robinson had decided to shorten Mass. She was horrified and thought it was blasphemous.
To the Satanists, Easter Eve (so, Holy Saturday) is a serious holiday and is marked with the human sacrifice of an adult. Additionally, the birthday is the highest holiday for Satanists so killing a very pious nun on a satanic holiday, the day before her birthday which was Easter must have been an incredible blasphemy.
He was like 65 years old.(*edit: he was 42, he was 65 when he was convicted) Father Robinson must have been a real satanic diehard to commit such a brazen act at that age. * still kind of hardcore at 42
The clergy lived on the site at the hospital and Sister Pahl, had been seen that morning, going about her chores. After a shower and dressing, her first task was to clean and set up the chapel. At some point she went into the sacristy - the dressing/storage room behind the alter - and it was here that Father Robinson, dressed in his cassock (robe) attacked her, stabbing her through an alter cloth, which he left at the scene, after locking the sacristy door. A priest of small stature wearing a cassock was seen by witnesses running from the area. It was another nun, who went into the chapel for morning prayers who discovered Sister Pahl. Doctors and and two police officers already in the hospital quickly responded.
It was so obvious that Gerald Robinson was the killer, that he was called out at the scene by the only other priest (a very large man) who asked him in front of a crowd that had gathered "Why did you kill her? Why did you kill her?" Everyone in the hospital knew he did it and police quickly found the murder weapon, a letter opener, in his quarters. He was known to be a drinker and a man who physically abused nuns.
And despite all of this, (and even more shockingly really) Father Robinson was still allowed to administer Sister Pahl's funeral mass. 😲

Although he was the best and only suspect at the time, failed his polygraphs and had a matching murder weapon and a bad relationship/argument with the nun, the investigation was swiftly derailed by the intervention of police and church bigwigs. The original cops on the scene were immediately reassigned and the whole machine cranked into action to cover up the crime to the point where Robinson was physically escorted out of a police interview by a Church Monseigneur, the church's (apparently Jewish?) lawyer and the Police Chief himself. Robinson was quietly allowed to return to his duties, though they shuffled him around the diocese until 2004 or so when he was finally tried and convicted. In the meantime, the nun's murder was unsolved and she was forgotten by everyone except one of the original cops on the scene, who, sensing a cover-up, squirreled away some of the original files and began to pursue the matter after his retirement.
But for all intents and purposes, it was the perfect crime and the entire community seems to have pulled together to defend Father Robinson from consequences. Now a skeptic would say that this was due to cultural disbelief that a priest could have done that in the first place, and the police behavior could be explained by a deference to the powerful Catholic Church and thus, typical Good Ole Boys mutual ass covering, but I think that a good deal of the cover up was related the cult.
Now, Toledo Ohio had a big Polish-Catholic community, and that is ostensibly why Robinson was kept in that area. He was of Polish descent and spoke it fluently. But in the normal course of things, priests are moved all around the country or even the world. It is unusual for them to be kept anywhere for decades. This has often been pointed to as a Church tactic to cover up priest's crimes, but it is really just how it works. I grew up in the Catholic Church myself, in a diocese where everyone was Irish-Catholic, so I have some experience with it. Usually priests come and go every couple of years. But, Robinson was suspected of murdering a nun and yet the diocese kept him in Toledo for his whole life when he could have been sent anywhere in the world, including Poland if they really wanted to wash their hands of him. That is bizarre, but it starts to make sense when you find out that Gerald Robinson was part of a Satanic cult operating out of Toledo, itself a city with connections to high level satanism.
So the rest of Gerald Robinson's career was unremarkable on paper, mainly because his real Church file has never been made public. We only know where he was assigned and that he stayed in the Toledo area.
But at some point in the late 90s or early 2000's, two women came forward making allegations against him and other priests of sexual abuse. One of the women was a nun and the other had been a child in the diocese during the late 60's or 70's. Both of them told essentially the same stories; that there was a group of pedophile priests who, along with family/community members, tortured them in satanic ceremonies when they were children, and sexually abused them as part of a cult. Both women had separately fingered Gerald Robinson as an abuser and it was the nun's allegations that got the ball moving again on the cold Pahl case. She had tried originally to take her case through the church hierarchy but when that stalled, she finally went to an organization of victim advocates, which then snowballed into the case being reopened and Robinson being convicted and sent to prison.

An obvious side note: the leader of the victims advocates and the clean cop were both harassed. Her house was burned down and he was threatened in various ways. You know how it goes... But to make a long story short, Robinson was convicted of murder, two other identified Satanic pedo priests skated, and the city and police dusted their hands and moved on as an Official Narrative™️ was constructed that downplayed the cult angle: it was a simple crime of passion consisting of misogyny and workplace rivalry.
So about that cult:
According to the victims, they were abused by a cult whose members were priests who dressed up in nun drag and take silly female pseudonyms while sexually abusing children. Father Robinson was called "Mary-Gerry" and he was into S&M and Jerry Mazuchowski (a lay minister, not ordained) was "Carrie-Jerry". Father Chet Warren may have been called "Sue", but it is not clear. The cult was called "Sisters of Assumed Mary" (S.A.M.) and it was largely comprised of Catholic priests and rumored to be perhaps 24 involved.
Alongside Gerald Robinson, two priests were identified as Chet Warren and Jerry Mazuchowski. Chet Warren was named as a major pedophile and perhaps a ringleader, while Jerry Mazuchowski admitted to a reporter that SAM was real, that he had organized it in the 1970's and they really "did nun drag. We gave each other nun's names. It was nothing but absolute fun. Camp. Foolishness." (what a prick 🙄) He said Robinson was not involved in SAM and that it wasn't satanic.

<--- Fr. Chet Warren
During one particular satanic ceremony, these three men in nun drag, plus more accomplices, circled around the girl laying on an alter, chanting "Son of Sam" and satanic verses , and "Jesus was Satan's SON", and their female names. They then cut her, drew inverted crosses on her body in blood and made her drink sacrificed animal blood then raped her. This was just on that occasion. Now, the Son of Sam chanting crap took place before the Son of Sam murders started, but not long before. (the dates are sketchy) The cultists could have meant "son of S.A.M.", but that doesn't make any sense. Or perhaps "son of Samael", which is another name for Satan, but that still seems off. Perhaps this was actually a link to the real Son of Sam cult, which we know had a national scope and was not confined to NY.
Other tortures S.A.M. was accused of are typical of SRA: rape and mutilation, rape with animals, child pornography, forced abortion, sacrifice of babies and animals, blood drinking, burial in coffins etc. There was more than just the ceremonies, the sexual abuse extended outside of Satanism and involved family members who were close to the priests and the Polish community in general. Abuse happened in various Toledo churches and Catholic Schools, including the basement of St. Pious X school, St. Adelbert's Church and - you guessed it - a "farm" out in a rural area, where interestingly, there is a small catholic church on the same road.
The good Father died in 2014 of a heart attack while in prison. Before he died, he made some interesting/desperate allegations through his appeals. One suggestion was that it was Carl Eugene Watts who killed Pahl. I checked that, but there seems to be no real connection besides a "dark guy" seen at the hospital and Watts was black and killing in Detroit which was a few hours driving distance (lol). His other appeal tactic was to point the finger at his former co-priest at the hospital who was already deceased - the same guy who had accused him on the day of the murder. Now there might have been something to that, as that priest was also Polish and he had a reputation for being immoral; drinking and stashing "hard pornography" in his room. Maybe when he asked, "Why did you kill her?" it was more out nervousness than horror - but that is pure speculation on my part.
I did a lot of research for this, but I got most of this basic info from the book When Satan Wore a Cross. Not very well written, but the author had to coax 250 pages out of a story where there wasn't a lot of info.
So what do you guys think about the Son of Sam thing? Weird amirite?
Oh and just for fun: Catholic Priest arrested for having threesome with corset-wearing dominatrices on church altar
And a church in Louisiana with a real cast of creepers: EXCLUSIVE: Babies in black dresses abused while laying in a Pentagram, drinking cat's blood and Satanic writings on church wall
PS: Both of these things happened in the same area. My mom actually lives very close to the first story.
I found this highschool yearbook photo of Gerald Mazuchowski:
Interestingly some of the comments on his memorial page - he died in 2011 - imply negative things about him. He was an English teacher with no kids who "spread his wings internationally"
And some dates:
One of the accusers (the nun) sued him and Gerald Robinson over SRA, and she said the ritual abuse started in 1968, when she was 5, and continued until 1975.
The text goes on to say that Mazuchowski also fingered the other priest at the hospital - the one who asked Robinson why he killed Pahl - saying he was a drunk, violent and had knives (he did wood carving as a hobby).
@Jan Kowalski Yeah good catch! I looked into Circe but there was no bigger link between her and Robinson aside from them both living in Toledo at some point.
But this is interesting: she was a nurse by profession.
The physical evidence against Fr. Robinson was actually pretty slim, but the circumstantial evidence was strong. His letter opener had an odd design and was likely the weapon, and there was a drop of blood concealed under the emblem. A priest was seen running away from the area. Robinson had been arguing with Sister Pahl, making her cry and had a reputation as a bully with the nuns. He had also failed his polygraph exam and let slip a motive; that he thought Pahl was "domineering". Furthermore, the sacristy door had been locked after the murder which meant that whoever did it, worked there and had a key and have been in there in the first place and knew the routine. That narrows it way down to essentially either a priest or nun or far more remotely, a janitor/maintenance.
But I should have mentioned, that there were two other "suspicious people", one a blonde man in regular clothes with a good description and unusual behavior (an accomplice? a visiting priest? some random bloke visiting his mom?), and a sketchy "dark skinned man" who seemed to be on drugs.
Another note: Robinson ambushed that woman, did the murder very quick, quite viciously and took steps to get no blood on him (His cassock was tested) then fled without really being seen. He was 42 years old. If he actually did murder her on his own- and I find that highly likely - I think it hints that it wasn't his first time.

"Perhaps this was actually a link to the real Son of Sam cult, which we know had a national scope and was not confined to NY."
Yep. There is probably connection in Toledo:
