Another Early Retirement
No reason was given for this, however, BishopPatBuckley.blog reported back in July 2022 that the Nuncio had asked Robson to resign because of alleged homosexual affairs.
When Robson was spiritual director at Rome's Scottish College (1998-2006), he was said to have had a close relationship with Christopher Morris, a dismissed seminarian who continued as a lay student. Robson allegedly knew about Morris' homosexual behaviour. Much later he endorsed his ordination to the priesthood in Motherwell diocese. The Nuncio asked Robson not to attend the 2022 ordination and he cited Covid for not doing so.
Robson allegedly had an affair with Edinburgh Cardinal Keith O’Brien (+2018), a predatory homosexual, whose Auxiliary Bishop he became in 2012. Edinburgh Cathedral Administrator Michael Regan of Edinburgh Cathedral who wanted the job, became very jealous, and claimed later to have had an affair with O’Brien on the promise to advance his career. Regan became one of O'Brien's accusers, and eventually died of AIDS.
Archbishop Leo Cushley took over in Edinburgh in July 2013 under the condition that Rome would move Robson who became Dunkeld Bishop in December 2013.
