When you google news for "ritual" and "priest", you don't expect this




Jury convicts priest of nun's 1980 murder : AP



A priest was convicted Thursday of murder in the slaying of a nun [Sister Margaret Ann Pahl] who was found stabbed 26 years ago in a hospital chapel, her forehead "anointed" with a smudge of blood, her wounds forming an upside-down cross on her chest.


The Rev. Gerald Robinson, 68, was immediately sentenced to the mandatory term of 15 years to life in prison and led away in handcuffs after a trial in which forensic experts matched the victim's wounds to a distinctive, sword-shaped letter opener found in the priest's room.


Earlier stories included allegations of a satanic ritual group and a cover-up by its members. This was only discussed in news stories and not in the courtroom. Accomplices may have gotten away with it.
