Thanks for fleshing this out...

"He was a quiet man..."

When I was a news reporter it was almost a ritual (like "break a leg" for actors) for someone to utter those words as we headed out the door on homicide calls.

80% of the time it was the first thing a neighbor said.
So having noisy, nosy neighbors can be a good thing ;)

The Toledo Blade reports this morning,
Victims' group faults reaction by local diocese
Priest accused of killing nun on radar for a year, SNAP says

...SNAP [Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests] co-leaders Claudia Vercellotti and Jon Schoonmaker said the diocese didn't follow its own protocol when it failed to place Father Robinson on leave after he was mentioned in an allegation of abuse against another priest or when the murder case was reopened.

"Father Gerald Robinson has been on the radar for over a year," Ms. Vercellotti said.

SNAP leaders also called upon Bishop Leonard P. Blair to launch an outreach effort throughout the diocese -through such means as church bulletins, the diocese Web site and the diocese's weekly newspaper - to notify area Catholics about abuse allegations against Father Robinson and clerics whose cases have not been made public.

Sally Oberski, diocese spokesman, said Father Robinson remained in his position for good reason after the woman's allegation that ultimately led to the reopening of the murder case...

The woman's allegations (eating an eyeball, penetrating with a snake, killing dogs, children, etc.) are listed in post #20

And, of course, there is a jail picture of Fr. Gerald Robinson,
