Child abuse victim continues campaign to get Brownhills “Father Jim” kicked out of priesthood
A jailed priest who preyed on young boys has NOT been defrocked by the Roman Catholic church – despite pleas directly to the Pope.
The news will sicken victims of Father James Robinson, currently serving a 21-year sentence for vile crimes dubbed “unimaginably wicked” by a Birmingham Crown Court judge.
One man, a victim of fellow twisted cleric Eric Taylor, has spent two years lobbying the Vatican, Birmingham Archdiocese and the Archbishop of Westminster in a bid to get Robinson “laicised” – kicked out of the priesthood.
He has also called on Pope Francis to bestow the ultimate punishment on the predatory priest – excommunication.
Taylor died in prison after being jailed for abusing boys at Coleshill’s Father Hudson Society home, but former boxer Robinson, now 76, is still alive and well, although behind bars.
He was collared in the American sunshine state of California six years ago and extradited to face the music for his monstrous crimes.
