Church is supposed to be a place of sanctuary. But behind the robes and pulpits, some pastors and priests carried out the darkest of crimes.

In this special episode, The Mighty Philbert takes a haunting look at:

  • Pastor Arthur Burton Schirmer, who staged his wife’s death as a car crash.
  • Father Gerald Robinson, convicted of the 1980 chapel murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl.
  • Reverend Paul Jennings Hill, who called his shotgun murders a “holy mission.”

And finally—the countless quiet cases you’ll never hear about on the news, where violence hides under the guise of faith.
