Witness: Nun's killer was expert in Catholic rites By Harriet Ryan, Court
TV 5/1/06 TOLEDO, Ohio (Court TV) — An expert in Roman Catholic rituals
testified Monday that the murder of a nun in a chapel 26 years ago was committed
by someone with specialized knowledge of the church's rites and symbols....Sr.
Margaret Ann Pahl, 71, was strangled and stabbed to death in the sacristy of the
Mercy Hospital chapel on the morning before Easter. Her undergarments were
pulled down around her ankles and her dress pushed up, exposing her genitals.
She had been stabbed 31 times, including nine wounds made through the cloth in
the shape of an inverted cross. Asked by prosecutor J. Christopher Anderson to
identify ritualistic aspects in the crime, Grob sighed and said, "Where does one
begin?" He said that in eyes of the church, a nun was a virgin wed to God and
that by leaving Sr. Margaret Ann naked, the killer was "defiling the bride of
Christ." He said it was consistent with satanic worship. "You take innocence and
you destroy or mock it," he said. He testified that the upside-down cross
was similarly used in satanic ceremonies as an "affront to the sacred." He said
the use of the cloth showed a desire to "penetrate" the holy with the evil. He
said a bloody semicircle on the victim's forehead might be evidence that the
killer performed a perverse version of the sacrament of last rites on Sr.
Margaret Ann. The sacrament calls for the head and hands of a dying or gravely
ill person to be anointed with oil." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ct/20060501/cr_ct/witnessnunskillerwasexpertincatholicrites;_ylt=AowI3UHz3BecupocJqb8S0pbIwgF;_ylu=X3oDMTBjMHVqMTQ4BHNlYwN5bnN1YmNhdA
Nun's killer used occult symbols, church expert in rituals testifies by
David Yonke "A Roman Catholic priest who is an expert in church rituals and the
occult testified in the Rev. Gerald Robinson's murder trial yesterday that there
were so many occult symbols surrounding Sister Margaret Ann Pahl's murder that
he believes "these aren't random acts" but point to a ritual killing designed to
mock the victim, the church, and God....The Rev. Jeffrey Grob, associate vicar
for canonical services for the Archdiocese of Chicago, said after studying the
case he believes the killer had "professional knowledge" of church rituals." http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060502/NEWS02/605020377/-1/NEWS
Abuse bill passes without 'look-back' By Bill Frogameni 4/5/06 "After a
heated tussle among Ohio’s Catholic bishops, advocates for survivors of clerical
sex abuse and lawmakers, an amended bill passed the state legislature March 29
without the controversial “look-back” provision that would have allowed victims
to sue the church for incidents dating back as far as 35 years....The original
SB 17 passed Ohio’s Senate unanimously in March 2005, but languished in the
House Judiciary committee for a year, stalled by the look-back provision, a
one-year grace period for filing civil suits covered by the statute of
limitations. With current law, the statute of limitations in civil cases expires
two years after the alleged victim turns 18. The new version of SB 17 extends
the statute 12 years beyond majority. The original bill extended it to 20." http://ncronline.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2006b/050506/050506k.htm
