David: thanks for your reporting on the Robinson trials. I have read that people heard him blaring black sabbath albums while washing his car. Is there any truth to this? If so, it certainly adds fuel to his conviction as it is not exactly the type of music one would expect a priest to listen to. Also, has anyone ever been able to verify that the so-called secret files did indeed document that the diocese helped pay for abortions?

To answer your first question, yes, several people told me that he used to listen to Black Sabbath while working in the yard or washing his car. I think that is an interesting choice of music for a priest but in my opinion it doesn’t prove or disprove anything. I think people can draw their own conclusions. Regarding the secret files, they remain secret.
