PART 1: Anthony Cipolla was NOT indicted or arrested in 1978 or ever.

If you're wondering why this particular subject matter is up front & on top of the Wuerl-of-Hurt site, it's because August 2026 is the tenth anniversary of Anthony Cipolla's violent death.  

Now, there was a three-part article written in 2016, by a Mrs Randy Engel, which was wall-to-wall lies.  It was a display of egregious defamation which rendered heart patient & diabetic neuropathy patient, Anthony Cipolla, into an untold state of Emotional Trauma.  That article literally killed him.  At the least, it incited violence toward Cipolla, as he was made out to be the Son of Satan and every other type of villain defined in literature.

Here is a two-part series which I'll probably turn into a three-part series, making restitution for the lies told about Anthony Cipolla which Randy Engel and her accomplices refused to make for the past ten years.  And remember, there does exist the legal doctrine of Ongoing Wrong.  As of 2026, the absolutely ridiculous Engel Article is still online, meaning that the defamation is still ongoing.

Above:  This is where Donald Wuerl lived, while he was orchestrating the case that would destroy Anthony Cipolla for life and which would simultaneously provide for Wuerl a wide cloak of diversionary cover, for Wuerl's actual abusive priests ... 

... and doing so while Wuerl had non-Catholic Ann Rodgers-Melnick of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette LIE to humanity, in proclaiming the Cover-up Don as the bishop of zero tolerance.

Incidentally, I presently live about six blocks away from that house.  This means that I'm typing this post six blocks away from Wuerl's former palatial living quarters which complemented his Marie Antoinette Lifestyle ... his Pillow Mint Lifestyle.

None the less, remember that Wuerl denied ever having been informed about the long-term sex abuse accusations against his D.C. predecessor, Theodore McCarrick.  Yet, a number of seminarians were writing about their fear of McCarrick's continuing sexual impositions as far back as 2002.  

Then, Wuerl suddenly claimed that he was temporarily suffering from AMNESIA, concerning the case of a major American cardinal, stationed at the United States' capitol, being accused of severe sex abuse.  Yet, he had more than enough staff members to remind him.  Such accusations are so poignant that brain surgery patients such as Joe Biden could have easily remembered them.  

Yes, Biden had two brain surgeries back in 1988.  In fact, he had a stroke back in 1988.  This proves that the American voter doesn't know for whom he/she is voting most of the time.

Introductory Pertinent Point, to show the malice of the 2016 Randy Engel & Renew America article which made Anthony Cipolla look like the Anti-Christ & the Son of Satan

In 2016, Randy Engel assured us, with great confidence ... amidst the undertone of suspicion ... that the evidence of Anthony Cipolla being a serial molester was blatantly evident in the fact that he was "moved around" a lot of times, in a five-year period.  Observe:

Of course, Randy Engel was making it look as if Anthony Cipolla kept getting caught molesting youth, followed by him being sent to another parish, as a cover-up, over and over again.  This is why multi-million dollar lawsuits exist.  

In her claiming that a newly ordained priest being moved around a lot was unusual, Engel LIED.  It was and is very common for a newly ordained priest to be often moved-around, simply for the sake of gaining experience.  Observe the reality of a newly ordained diocesan priest:

 ABOVE: Get into reality and take note that the 'TYPICAL NUMBER OF MOVES" made by "NEWLY ORDAINED PRIESTS" are usually "UP TO 5 IN 5 YEARS." 
 
Now, Anthony Cipolla became a NEWLY ORDAINED PRIEST on May 27th, 1972.  Thus, it was expected of him to be assigned to as many as five parishes in his first five years.
 
MOREOVER, instead of getting arrested in 1972 or 1973 or 1974, he received COMMENDATIONS which were known as "a recognition" & "an expression of appreciation" ... even from POLICE!!!!!

Another Example of the outright LIES in the 2016 Randy Engel article.  According to Engel's 2016 article:  

Response:  Firstly, once criminal charges are filed anywhere in the USA, a civilian CANNOT "drop the charges."  I repeatedly explained this is prior posts.  Only a judge ... or magistrate ... as well as a DA ... or solicitor ... can drop criminal charges once they are filed.  

Thus, it was IMPOSSIBLE for the diocese to intimidate Diane Thompson into "dropping charges against Cipolla" WHICH WERE NEVER FILED IN THE FIRST PLACE.  

And there was ZERO semen found on Tucker Thompson, and there was NO DNA testing of any kind performed in the 1978 case.  It was already explained in detail in other posts.


Secondly,  the name was NOT "Nehouser."  It was Mark Ninehouser and he was NOT a detective.  In fact, I spoke with Mark at length, person to person, and Mark came off as a Most Excellent Gentleman, in the Keanu Reeves definition of the phrase. 

Randy Engel did NOT speak with Mark.  I did.  She wouldn't have even known how to get in touch with him.

In 1978, Mark Ninehouser and Robert Fogle were uniformed police officers ... men in blue ... who were sent to Diane Thompson's apartment, on July 25th, 1978.  They did nothing more than jot down her story, transposed it on an official form, and then handed it over to the detective's desk, never to speak with Diane Thompson again.

Ninehouser & Fogle did NOT drive her or Tucker or Frank to any court venue, talking to her while driving.  They talked to her once only, on July 25, 1978.  They gave her no sheet of paper, saying that she was going to need it in the future.  

Oh, and as a general and non-specific fact concerning any sheet of paper being authentically from 1978, and NOT forged in 2016,  such a sheet paper needed to be slightly yellowed ... and NOT jet white.

Now, Fogle did do "undercover," "plain clothes" police duty.  But, this is different than being a detective.  Cases have one detective only who does the mental work.  The problem is that Diane Thompson watched too many episodes of the fictional TV series, Starsky & Hutch.   

Cipolla was never criminally indicted and/or arrested in the first place, and in order to be arraigned and then to schedule a preliminary hearing, you have to first be arrested.  

As I stated a half dozen times previously, I personally spoke at length, in a polite and informative conversation, with Mark Ninehouser.  Moreover, I located him through the Pittsburgh Steeler Organization.

Mark clearly explained what I ... and what you ... needed to know about Diane Thompson's very false assertion of him and his partner being detectives assigned to the Cipolla Case, as if they were Starsky & Hutch.  

In fact, Mark explained how Randy Engel LIED in her description of where a defendant in Pittsburgh gets arraigned, in the first place.  In 1978, no one got arraigned at Police Station #9, near Bidwell St.  Defendants got arraigned at GRANT STREET, in a courtroom and NOT in a police station.  Or they got arraigned at the night court venue.  

Engel mentioned, in her defamatory 2016 article that hearings in the Cipolla case ... in a couple of instances ... occurred at police stations.  The proper response to that assertion is:


The whole "Nehouser" & Fogle detective duo story was a lie.  It was another one of Diane Thompson's many falsehoods, and Randy Engel fell for it as she fell for a catalogue of Diane Thompson's MANY LIES which were easy to prove as LIES. 

We adjourn to the Cassock in the Heat of July Lie, in re 1978

In 2016, Randy Engel was either 76 or 78 years old.  After all, she graduated from the State Univ of New York, in 1961.  Thus, unless if she were a child genius who graduated college at the age of 12, Randy Engel was at least born in 1940.  My source stated that Randy was born in 1938.  

The bottom line is that we were not dealing with a master genius from the collegiate National Honors Society or an inductee of the Phi Sigma Iota International Foreign Language Society or a member of the International High IQ Society or someone who actually was published along side noted laureates such as Walt Whitman Award winners and National Book Award winners or even a Pulitzer Prize winner.

According to the aging female writer, Randy Engel, it was in the Heat of Late July (in 1978), the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla was wearing a CASSOCK, while intruding on a single mom who, five days earlier, called the police and accused Cipolla of molesting a child or two of hers.

As a reminder, Diane Thompson said that she had to "pry the information " out of Tucker ... after talking and talking and talking to him, finally getting the answer she sought, almost immediately after After Cipolla told her that his parish did not have the money to pay her monthly apartment and therefore could not do so.

This 1978 claim of having to "pry for information" from the young Tucker was the same type of thing said by the occasional social worker who pried outrageously ridiculous accusations from the mouths of the McMartin PreSchool children of the 1980s.

There are a number of cases where a mother or a social worker claimed to have finally "pried out incriminating information" from youths who accused certain adults of outrageous crimes.  Each one of those cases turned out to be a hoax prompted by ... instigated by ... a relentless mother or social worker who kept badgering the children being interrogated for the answer that the mother or social worker wanted to hear.

Cassocks-in-July is a fictional tale

Concerning Randy Engel stating that Anthony Cipolla appeared on the porch of Diane Thompson's apartment in the Heat of July, while Tucker was diligently doing his homework in the middle of Summer Vacation, take note:

Cassocks are for cold-weather months, and are NOT typically worn in late July ... in the Northern Hemisphere ... in case you didn't know.

BTW, I asked a few former followers of Anthony Cipolla if anyone of them ever saw Cipolla dressed in a cassock.  The answer was always, "No."  All of the Cipolla followers with whom I spoke said that they never saw Anthony Cipolla in a cassock.  So stated for the record.

 
Meanwhile, Mrs Randy Engel also asserted that Cipolla appeared while Young Tucker was diligently doing his homework at a kitchen table ... on July 30th, 1978.  Well, ladies & gentlemen, this was during the HEART OF SUMMER VACATION, when school had been out for over 7 weeks ... and while there were still five or so weeks of Summer Vacation remaining, before the ringing of the first school bell of 1978.

Then came the LIE of a 1965 Spartanburg Special Forces training base accident & explosion that occurred at a base which closed completely in 1947
 
Plus, according to the same Randy Engel, the father of one of the two sons of Diane Thompson underwent a severe special forces training accident that involved "an explosion," during 1965, at a military base in Spartanburg, South Carolina.  This was said to have been the cause that left Diane Thompson ... the 1978 accuser of Cipolla ... to fend for herself as a single mother, in the era of food stamps, welfare checks, and federally funded HUD housing.
 
In fact, in the 2016 Renew America article of Randy Engel, it was claimed that Diane Thompson was once married to a Tom Thompson ... in the mid-1960s, with everything ending perhaps in 1977 with an alleged barbiturate overdose suicide:
       ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Responses to Engel's Assertions go as follows:

Concerning the claim of special forces training in the Carolinas, in 1965, a brief background goes as follows:
 
That Spartanburg South Carolina military base CLOSED IN 1946, one year after the end of WWII.  It was then official disbanded in 1947.  
 
It was called, Camp Croft.  There was no Vietnam-era training there.  The place was a tourist sight in 1965.  No guns are allowed to be fired anywhere near a tourist sight in the USA.

Even the 1950's, the special forces training center in Camp Mackall, in North Carolina, was NOT in operation in the 1960s.  Thus, you cannot say that Diane Thompson meant to say, North Carolina, instead of South Carolina.  Thus, be assured that Randy Engel's Special Forces Accident Segment was a deliberate lie, designed to make you "feel sorry" for Diane Thompson and hate Anthony Cipolla all the more.
 
That proven-false statement was also meant to make the vicious Diane Thompson appear to be the All-American sacrifice-making patriot, while simultaneously making the now-dead Anthony Cipolla look like the Enemy of the People who must die.  Well, he died right after that 2016 article was published.
 
Below:  Look and see what LIARS Randy Engel & Diane Thompson have been, in the claim that a "second husband" of Diane Thompson ... while heroically serving his country ... got severely injured during training, during the Vietnam years, in Spartanburg, South Carolina.          
 ★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 
Now, concerning North Carolina's Camp Mackall, whoever this "second husband" or "father of the second child" of Diane Thompson was, he definitely did NOT do any special forces training there, either.  Thus, he did no special forces training in 1965 in either of the two Carolina states. 
 

To get to Vietnam, you needed to embark from California on the West Coast and NOT from the Carolinas on the East Coast.
 
Plus, you needed to train in a hot jungle environment, and North Carolina did not have that environment.  Meanwhile, South Carolina's Camp Croft had already been closed for 18 years, by the time 1965 arrived. 
 
Those two observations, alone, should have alerted the 2016 readers of the defamatory Randy Engel article that the contents of that article were fiction.  In as much, let us now adjourn to the famous Fort Bragg, also located in the Carolinas.  
 
A Randy Engel defender might come to say that Diane Thompson was mistakenly referring to Fort Bragg as the place of Vietnam special forces training, in Thompson's claim that her "second husband" was severely injured during special forces training.  
 
Well, if Fort Bragg were in California or Hawaii or Guam, the special forces claim in the Engel article might have had some legitimacy.  If Fort Bragg were situated in a heated jungle, then the defamatory Engel article of 2016 might have had an element of credibility to it.  
 
HOWEVER, the reality with Fort Bragg and Vietnam is that there was the 5th Special Forces stationed there and the 10th Special Forces Psychological Warfare unit there.  Both special forces units were stationed there, only for the purpose of paperwork and management.  Any physical training maneuvers which involved "explosions" were conducted elsewhere, in a heated jungle environment called Vietnam. 
 
Now, the 5th Special Forces was indeed established in 1961 and assigned to Fort Bragg.  HOWEVER, between 1964 and 1971 its special forces training bases were literally IN VIETNAM, to acclimate soldiers to the hot jungle environment.  Thus, there was no second husband of Diane Thompson involved in any 1965 special forces training in either of the two Carolina states, especially in Spartanburg where there were no military training exercises since 1945. 


Fort Bragg became the center of Psychological Warfare in 1952, and the 10th Special Forces Group was assigned to be stationed there, in the psychological warfare capacity.  Then, in 1962, JFK moved the embarkation point of 10th Special Forces to the West Coast, being that the West Coast was closer to Vietnam than was North Carolina.  
 
The important point here is that the 10th Special Forces was a cerebral military unit of psychological academics and mind games.  The 10th Special Forces was even involved in radio transmission academics, as well as electronics.  It was an Information Operations unit.  
 
Its training was the opposite of the violence seen in the stereotypical Chuck Norris movie.  The 10th Special Forces Unit was not trained to blow you up.  It was trained to take over your radio stations and to intercept enemy messages, as well as disabling enemy electronics.  It was trained to intercept your phone call, instead of blowing up the office where your phone was located.
 

This shows that Diane Thompson was NOT honestly mistaken, but rather, she was a deliberate liar in her harrowing special forces training tale which was nothing more fiction.  There was no second husband of Diane Thompson getting seriously injured in any 1965 special forces training "explosion" in North or South Carolina.
 
This shows that Diane Thompson ... and and and Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" ... intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon heart patient, Anthony Cipolla, with the help of their asinine dupe, Mrs Randy Engel.
 
There is a Huge Credibility Problem with the Year 1965
 
She is allegedly married to a guy named Tom Thompson in 1965, until 1977 or so, upon which he allegedly committed suicide by an overdose of barbiturates.  And then, according to Randy Engel, Cipolla pops-in and starts molesting Diane Thompson's two sons.  Now, for the big credibility problem:
 
Diane Thompson's eldest son's name in 1978 was Frank Labiaux.  According to the record, Frank Labiaux was 12 years old in 1978.  This would mean that he was born in 1966.  Well, in 1966, a Tom Thompson was allegedly the husband of Diane Thompsons.  
 
So, why does Frank have a different last name, if he is Tom Thompson's son?  Who was his real father?  Who was Tucker's father?  And who was the father of Diane Thompson's alleged third son ... as opposed to it being her nephew or step-son ... who actually did die young. 
 
There is even a bigger time problem with the tale of going from master printer ... in the age of automated printing ... to special forces trainee in 1965 which meant that he at least had to have started his military service in 1962.
 
Plus, Diane Thompson ... according to Randy Engel ... said that Tom Thompson's trade was that of a printer and that he was one of the finest printing trade craftsmen in the land.  
 
At this point, there is a time problem.  Firstly, how old was Tom Thompson in 1965 that he could gain the experience of being a master printer and yet end up in America's elite forces?  Uhhhhm, there is one thing you need to know about Special Forces recruitment.  That is this:
 
In order to be recruited and then sent to Special Forces training, you "usually" needed to already have had three years of military experience.  THUS, according to Randy Engel, the master civilian tradesman husband of Diane Thompson started in the military in 1962, even though Engel stated that Diane Thompson married young, indicating her marrying one or two equally young men.


HOWEVER ...  Engel also stated that Diane Thompson got married young, suggesting that her husband(s) were also young and just didn't have the time to become master craftsmen in the printing trade ... in a trade which already turned "push-button" in the 1940s, meaning that there was no more need of printing trade "craftsmen," but only button pushers and engineers?
 
Below:  How does a master craftsman in his mere 20's become a master craftsman in the printing trade in 1961, when printing turned automated and became a push-button industry?
 
The Motive in Demonizing Cipolla 
 
Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" manipulated the contents of the 2016 article, in order to drastically demonize an Anthony Cipolla whom she literally wanted off of Planet Earth
 
I personally spoke with Randy Engel's good good New Jersey friend for many hours.  She wanted Cipolla completely disregarded, avoided, and entirely ignored.   She vehemently, in a paranoiac tone of voice, kept telling me to not even begin the Cipolla investigation.  I complied ... until I was handed a box of documentation on the case.  And then my conscience was alerted.  
 
Well, if she were a woman of truth, then she would have invited me to continue investigating Cipolla, to prove without the shadow of a doubt that he was guilty of molestation.  It were as if that woman feared that numerous pieces of exculpatory evidence in favor of Cipolla would arise.  And exculpatory evidence kept rising like artifacts during an archeological excavation.
 
Cipolla was in too much pain to molest or hurt anyone in 2016
 
The huge issue concerning the outright paranoia of Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" is that, in 2016, Anthony Cipolla had painful and debilitating medical conditions which included heart surgery, a previous minor heart attack, and diabetic neuropathy.  I heard Cipolla in pain many times, over the phone.  And yes, it included the predictable back pain.  Yet, Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" saw Cipolla as a danger to humanity. 
 
In my private citizen's personal opinion, the "good good New Jersey friend" of Mrs Randy Engel wanted Cipolla dead, and she got what she wanted.
 
The Harrowing July Homework Fairy Tale ... in addition to the "Cassock in July" tale: 
 
Concerning the claim that Young Tucker was doing homework at a kitchen table on July 30th, 1978, a person set on defending Randy Engel's 2016 defamatory writing would respond, by claiming that Young Tucker was probably doing Summer School homework.  Well, that conjecture is very easy to disprove.  Observe:
 
According to the Pittsburgh Teachers' Union Contract of the late 1970s, there was to be no summer school occurring in the final week of July.  This was done, so that union teachers could get valid vacation time before the start of the "teachers' in-service days" which immediately occurred a few days before the start of the school year.  

Moreover, the start of the school year was scheduled to immediately follow Labor Day.  Thus, the Teachers' In-Service Days were scheduled for Late August.  
 
This is why the union contract made sure that there would be NO SUMMER SCHOOL in the last week of July.  In as much, it is 100% certain that the Young Tucker was NOT doing any summer school homework on July 30th, 1978, as Randy Engel claimed. 
 

Moreover, the 1978 accusing mother could have easily gotten a Restraining Order against Cipolla.  She could have simply called the police, if he did appear on her porch in a cassock, on July 30th.  But of course, the entire story can be written-off as a deliberate lie, because it was one big lie to have claimed that Tucker was doing homework during a time when there was no school.  

No one in the early 1970s youth groups ever accused Cipolla

If Anthony Cipolla were such a notorious child molester, then why did no one from any of his early 1970s youth groups ever accuse him of any wrongdoing?  People in those youth groups had 53 years to come forth and state their accusations.  
 
In fact, if Cipolla ever molested you, call me.  I'm actually polite when speaking, because you have to be even-keeled and properly mannered, in order to get residential & commercial construction work.  
 
I no longer am in government contract work which necessitated the lowest bid and a pile of paperwork, without first giving a sales pitch.  Speaking nicely to people is now required ... simply to win their trust.  Thus, I have had a lot of practice in the niceness mode of communication.  
 
BTW, if you are a stranger to the concept of "Niceness," it was coined by Mel Brooks & Buck Henry, for the NBC TV Get Smart comedy series.  Yes, Maxwell Smart was fighting for Niceness & the American Way, against KAOS agents.  And of course, this was a pun on CHAOS.
 
Even a confidentiality clause of decades past would have come forth during the 2002 media onslaught of Catholic bishop cover-ups, if and only if Cipolla were a serial molester of youth in the early 1970s.  But, no such non-disclosure agreements were reported among any of Cipolla's early '70s youth group members.  
 
There is zero indication that any member of those youth groups came forth and accused Cipolla of any physical wrongdoing in the '70s, the '80s, the '90s, etc.


MORE IMPORTANTLY, my former neighbor of many years, the late Attorney John Conte, had lined-up dozens of character witnesses for Anthony Cipolla, in the Tim Bendig lawsuit trial that Wuerl made sure would not occur.  
 
If that civil court trial had transpired, then Bendig would have been crushed and obliterated by the testimony of dozens of male youths stating under oath that Anthony Cipolla never tried any sexual exploits on them ... and that none of them ever saw Anthony Cipolla doing anything suspicious or obscene with Tim Bendig.  It would have been Case-Closed for all time.  Wuerl would have no longer had his scapegoat.
 
So think!!!!   Dozens of male youths were ready to take the stand as pro-Cipolla character witnesses and swear under oath that Cipolla did nothing intrusive to them.  
 
However, one of the witnesses was being coached by an assistant attorney, to say something on the stand that no one could prove to be true or false.  It had to do with some kind of a red blotch on Cipolla's arm or neck or wherever.   The witness was a nephew of Cipolla, and the nephew never had respect for Cipolla, ever since.  But, it was the attorney who deserved the disrespect.
 
You see, Tim Bendig's attorney brought that blotch mark into the conversation, in order to insinuate that Cipolla contracted some sort of sexual disease, thereby suggesting that Cipolla was an out-of-control animal who would go out of his way to have his way with Bendig.  
 
So, the assistant attorney of my former neighbor, John Conte, told Cipolla's nephew to say that the red mark was from a spider bite.  Now, how was Cipolla's nephew supposed to have known this?  It was stupid advice.
 
PLUS, both one of Diane Thompson's sons never offered to sit down with me and talk, in order to prove to me that they were telling the truth about Cipolla.  That is to say, I never got to cross-examine Frank & Tucker.  Well, if they had truth on their side ... and had no falsehoods to hid ... then they would have had no problem speaking with me.
 
All in all, I never had the opportunity to video-tape an interview of Frank and/or Tucker, for a body language expert to evaluate.  In fact, you would logically think that Frank & Tucker would be so outraged at me, for calling their mother a liar, that they would have demanded to sit down with me, do their talking and set the record straight.  But, they didn't.  It would plausibly seem to the reasonable person that they are hiding something ... something like false accusations.  Wouldn't you say so?  
 
12 Year Olds have been caught lying.  But, people didn't think so in the 1970s. 
 
The sole detective of the short-lived 1978 Cipolla investigation mentioned in his 2018 grand jury testimony why he believed the damning accusations against Cipolla, as were told by the then-twelve year old son of Diane Thompson, in 1978.

The former detective said that he only believed what the 12 year old boy said to him in 1978, because he was a 12 year old boy.  The detective of 1978 didn't think that any 12 year old child was capable of lying to a police officer.  
 
That belief was common amongst Americans in the late 1970s.  This is why the hoaxes of the 1980s, such as the McMartin Pre-School farce, was so easy to orchestrate. 


Of course, in subsequent years, court cases showed that 9, 10, 11, and 12 year old students most certainly do lie.  This means that you have to test any junior high school student's testimony for cracks & contradictions, just like anyone else's testimony.

None the less, concerning the 1978 Probable Cause Hearing which came after the issuing of a Summary Notice, the sole detective's 2018 grand jury testimony ... of the 1978 case ... as soon as it was made known to him that the Cipolla Case was going to be dismissed ... was reportedly this:

[I] didn’t recall seeing Father Cipolla, but I do recall there was – – approximately – – there was five men and it has been a while back. 

I don’t know if they were all attorneys or who they belonged to. But one of them approached me and told me that the mother doesn’t want to press charges and they - - to the effect - - they didn’t want to get the priest in any trouble or hurt the priest.  Something to that effect. 

And I said, ‘Well, what about the boy?’ And I didn’t get an answer. So I kind of asked again. I said, ‘What do we want to do with the boy? He is the one who is the victim here.’
 
And of course, the sole detective whose last name began with McG... only believed that Cipolla was guilty because Detective McG believed that a 12 year old eldest brother was incapable of lying to police.  Of course, the 1980s McMartin case proved that 9, 10, 11, and 12 year old children are very capable of telling ridiculous lies with a straight face.
 
(Note on Due Process:  When a judge would find probable cause for an indictment, he/she would do what was known as "issue process."  Then, and only then, does the person end up getting indicted and then arrested & arraigned.)  

In 1978, no one issued process on Anthony Cipolla.  And in 2026, after a deep-dive investigation which included searching America for those involved in the 1978 case, it turned out that Diane Thompson and her eldest son repeatedly lied in their "averments of fact."  Those lies were as bad as those told by the McMartin witnesses of 1983 to 1990.

The 1978 Pittsburgh detective automatically played jury, declaring Cipolla guilty, because Detective McG believed that 12 year old big brothers didn't lie.  Well, school teachers know that 12 year youths do lie.  
 
The detective should have simply  said, "But, we had an element of probable cause in the 1978 case which needed follow-up."  

The probable cause was the stethoscope, IF and ONLY IF there were no evidence of Cipolla occasionally sending medical supplies to the foreign mission with whom he was once associated.  And of course, his association with that mission was as a seminarian.  
 
BTW, the yearly Michigan trip of Cipolla was to the grounds of that religious order.  The purpose of that yearly trip was to inspire Catholic youth to aspire to the priesthood.

Anyway, the 2018 testimony of the sole detective of the 1978 case also said:

And I was kind of ignored, to be honest about it. And the case was dropped, thrown out, whatever you want to call it, and it was nothing that the police – – that we could do because the Magistrate went along with it and dumped the case.  So here we are today.

Randy Engel should have first studied Anatomy
 
Now, if Cipolla did molest Tucker, it was NOT the way Randy Engel said it was repeatedly done.  Such an action would have caused any nine year a lot of physical pain.  This is due to the Science of Anatomy.  And quite frankly, I do NOT want to get graphic here.

Once again, the 1978 detective did NOT test the youth's allegations for contradictions.  He immediately believed anything the youth said, simply because the youth was a youth and youths were immaculately honest people who were incapable of lying ... NOT.

If the woman formerly known as Diane Thompson were in the danger she later claimed she was ... at the hands of Cipolla in 1978 ... police would have had due cause to arrest multiple persons, including Cipolla.  Thus, she would NOT have had to have fled her apartment.  
 
The conjecture is that Diane Thompson failed to pay rent and faced eviction.  Cipolla wasn't out to get her.  All that Cipolla had to do was relocate and stay as far away from her as possible.
 
Her Lies about Yours Truly, shows that she IS a liar, per se 

This Diane Thompson also claimed that you could search the internet all day and not find any proof of my existence.  She simultaneously claimed that Cipolla was operating this site, under my name, while operating some kind of sex ring.  
 
Now, if you have money and you state about me what Thompson did ... and I learn of it ... I'm going to sue you with the intention of utterly destroying the sum total of your defamatory existence.  Your attorney can be the one giving you lessons on law and civil court, as well as the history of Italian vengeance.  I suffered too much in life than to die defamed.   
 
And of course, the attorneys with whom I consulted, to sue Diane Thompson for defamation, simply mentioned the word, "uncoverable."  This refers to the fact that suing her was not going to result in any cash award actually being obtained by the law firm.  Therefore, no lawyer was out there who was going to file a defamation lawsuit against someone who had no vast bank account.
 
Wuerl benefited by letting financially impoverished people commit defamation for him ... by committing defamation which benefited Wuerl.  Those people were surrogates doing his "bidding" for him.  
 
None the less, it has been ten years since Cipolla's violent death, and this site continues to be operated.  That, alone, is proof that I exist ... or else Cipolla's ghost is operating this site.  That would make this site haunted.  
 
Therefore, if you go to this site, and cups and saucers suddenly start flying around you, with kitchen drawers opening and closing at will, then this site is being operated by Cipolla's ghost.  If not, then you know Diane Thompson to be nothing but a liar.  
 
None the less, if you claim as true anything defamatory that the woman formerly known as Diane Thompson stated about me, get a lawyer.  And remember, I'm Italian.  So, do the math on what that means ... and go for it.

Was revealed to me

Now, something was revealed to me about Diane Thompson's mindset, during the days when she originally learned that I repeatedly caught her lying ... in the 2010s.  She was in utter traumatic distress, because she was in a position to loose a massive settlement, if the authorities of the Pittsburgh Diocese weren't either corrupt or utterly stupid.  

She WAS terrified of me and wanted me out of the picture.  She even doxed me, enabling some fanatic to find me and to violently take me out of the picture.

The revelation about Diane Thompson being terrified of me came from the mouth of someone in her camp, into my ears.  The Diane Thompson People were ... and probably still are ... really, really, REALLY stupid.  

Enter the Self-Righteous Randy Engel, judge of us all

The importance of the female writer named Randy Engel is that she used to be the one who edited Anthony Cipolla's Padre Pio Group periodical, called "Thorns & Roses," for consecutive years after Wuerl defrocked Cipolla on account of the St. Luke Institute's diagnosis of Clinical Depression & Suicidal Tendencies.  She knew all about the accusations against Cipolla, but dispelled them ... for years.  

As you read her 2016 text, you instantly see that Engel didn't know the first thing about the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.  This is because Engel's narration of a 1978 arrest and  arraignment which never happened in the first place was NOT the way defendants were processed in Pennsylvania.  That, alone, proves the 2016 Engel text to be  defamatory fiction. 

In addition, Wuerl hyper-publicized and misrepresented the Cipolla Case as a diversionary tactic which concealed from the public all of Wuerl's actual cover-ups of priests who actually did get convicted in criminal courts of law ... or who should have been convicted.

Wuerl obstructed justice, and he used the hyped-up version of the Cipolla case in the obstruction thereof.   But, in 2018, all came tumbling down for Donald Wuerl.  He was found to be the opposite of the super-hero he was made-out to be.

In addition, a third person did contact Ann Rodgers-Melnick, reporting a priest cover-up of Donald Wuerl.  But of course, she ignored that third person.

Once again, in my private citizen's personal opinion of a public figure ... as is protected under NY Times v Sullivan (1964) ...  Donald William Wuerl was the opposite of St Francis of Assisi, St Francis Xavier, St Francis de Sales and every other St. Francis in the Catholic Church's list of saints.  That list is called, the Roman Martyrology.  Incidentally, martyr means "witness."

Concerning Randy Engel's age, she began journalism shortly after her college  graduation which occurred in 1961.  Thus, one can assume that Randy was born somewhere in the vicinity of 1940 or so.  Therefore, she was in her 70s in 2016.  Incidentally, Randy was a grad of the State University of New York at Cortland; SUNY Cortland.  

I personally knew Randy.  In fact, she, Mike Ference, and I were simultaneously interviewed on some type of internet radio talk show thing, in the early 2010s.  

One of the two interviewers turned out to be my long lost cousin ... literally.  He was a second-cousin raised somewhere near the Penn State campus.  His mom ... a woman I did meet ... had a restaurant near the Nittany Lion stadium.  Yes, it was a super coincidence.

Cipolla died the same year as the Engel Text ... from a heart attack
 
In 2016, Randy Engel seemed to have seen herself as Cipolla's executioner, in letting him endure untold emotional distress which lead to his 2016 death.  That was sick and twisted of her. 

Simply because a person speaks or writes with confidence, in an assured tone (or rhythm), it doesn't mean that the person is telling the truth.  The 1980s McMartin Case, alone, proved this to be so.  
 
In addition, Diane Thompson later claimed that Cipolla's followers smashed all her windows and slit all her car tires, in the Summer of 1978.  Well, this occurred BEFORE Cipolla was put in charge of the already-existent Padre Pio prayer group which was founded in the 1960s.  He had no Padre Pio Prayer Group followers as of yet.  This means that he didn't have a group of followers to go out and smash windows for him.
 
Of course, Randy Engel water-downed that particular falsehood in 2016, by claiming that only one window was vandalized.  Well, Randy Engel must have lived a sheltered life.  When people commit retaliation, they don't waste their time smashing only one window.  They go for the Kill.  The Randy Engel of 2016 had no wisdom ... or common sense. 
 
Of course, the big lie in this situation is that Randy Engel suggested that Diane Thompson was being intimidated into "dropping charges" against Cipolla which is something is no civilian in any jurisdiction in the USA is capable of doing.  Only a judge ... including a magistrate ... or a DA ... including a solicitor ... is capable of dismissing a criminal case.
 
The concept of the abbreviated expression, "do you want to file charges" literally means:
 
"Do you want to file a private criminal complaint which will first be reviewed by the DA's office, and IF the DA's office finds no probable cause for indictment, then a probable cause hearing will be conducted at a local magistrate's office, to see if the magistrate sees cause to "issue process."
 
Moreover, today, if a DA's office and a local magistrate decline to indict a person accused of a crime in a private citizen 's complaint, the same private citizen can then file a civil action in United States district court, to get an injunction ordering the local DA to file criminal charges.
 
If the federal district judge doesn't grant the injunction, then the accused person goes about his/her life, even to the point of suing the private citizen who defamed the accused person.
 
This all means that, once a person is indicted, arrested, and arraigned no amount of vandalizing anything will result in a private citizen dropping criminal charges, because only a DA's office or judge can dismiss a criminal case.  Thus, the window smashing accusation was yet another lie.
 
Senior Citizen Church Goers are NOT notorious window smashers 
 
By the way,  the windows of that single mom's apartment were NOT smashed at all, and her car tires were NOT slit, either.  After all, the majority of Padre Pio Group members were either retired or disabled, meaning that they didn't have the energy to commit felonies, in the first place.  
 
Of course, Cipolla was not yet in charge of any Padre Pio Group that would have members go out and start smashing windows, during the hours between them cashing their social security checks, seeing their doctors for arthritic medical conditions, and playing checkers at the local senior citizen's hall.  Padre Pio Prayer Group members were NOT the Hell's Angels, to say the least.
 
Cipolla NEVER had to register as a sex offender ...
 
... and TWO DA offices said that there was neither evidence nor corroborating witnesses in Tim Bendig's accusations.  And the Vatican never tried Cipolla on any sex abuse accusation made by Tim Bendig.
 
 It's too bad that the "good good New Jersey friend" of Randy Engel did not find the psychiatrist she needed, because she was nuts.  She was so bad that her wardrobe closet needed a straight-jacket in it.  She was frantically OBSESSED with Cipolla.  So, she got Randy Engel to write the 2016 article which was wall-to-wall lies, as has already been illustrated ... even in this post.
 
BTW, concerning scaring people to death, there literally is a criminal offense called Homicide by Fright.  But, that is for sudden shock events.  Those events which cause days of continued emotional trauma and which result in a heart attack need to be prosecuted, too.  
 
Cipolla was never arrested.  Thus, Cipolla was never convicted of any sex offense.  This means that Cipolla was never required to register anywhere as a sex offender.  
 
He was only removed from priesthood ministry for DEPRESSION & SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.  Thus, it was never a crime for Cipolla to apply for a job as a youth group counselor or camp counselor.  
 
It was only a civil offense, actionable in civil court, for him to have posed as a priest in good standing and to apply for a job as a chaplain.  But, it required a civil court order to have him removed from anywhere he was hired as chaplain.  Cipolla was even able to legally apply for a job as a layman catechism teacher or a layman news reporter, etc. 
 
Wuerl was never man enough to stand in front of a camera and emphatically state this, so as to prevent confusion and false beliefs.  Rather, Wuerl orchestrated the false light beliefs, purposely allowing the mistaken beliefs and confusion to set like cement.
 
Concerning Tim Bendig, from personal one-on-one experience, I discovered that Bendig really was a wall-to-wall liar.  What he did with his relatively hefty settlement money also proved him to be a liar.  There's more evidence of Bendig having been nothing more than a con artist.  But, for now, remember that he had me fooled ... until he kept on talking and told me four lies in a row.  
 
Meanwhile, as Tim Bendig was telling me his third lie in a row, in the silence of my mind, I literally thought, "Wow.  Cipolla really is innocent, after all."  This is at least the case concerning the very rigged Bendig Case.  
 
And again, as I stated eight, ten, or twelve times previously, the famous & infamous 1993 Vatican Rehearing had nothing to do with Bendig's accusations against Cipolla.  It had to do with answering the following question:
 
Did Wuerl have the right to dismiss Cipolla from the clerical state, solely on account of a diagnosis of Clinical Depression & Suicidal Tendencies, given to Cipolla by the St Luke Institute in Maryland?

Part 2: Anthony Cipolla was Neither indicted Nor arrested in 1978 or ever

This is near the Diocese of Pittsburgh's downtown administrative office, and it looks like a scene in an End of the World movie ... a glimpse into the Apocalypse.   
 
The Great Apostasy was first introduced to the believers of Jesus the Nazarene by the heroic martyr, Paul of Tarsus.  It was directly mentioned by Paul in his writings to the Thessalonians.  It's specifically mentioned in the 2nd letter of Paul to the Thessalonians, Chapter 2, Verse 3.
 
Now, this Great Apostasy was prophesied to be the era of time when the bishops become OFFENDERS OF THE FAITH, instead of defenders of the Faith.  At this point in time, read the 21st Century signs of the times and do the math.
 
 
The Donald Wuerl Cult; the power grab of a political opportunist
 
This section is regarded as "the intro."  If you don't want to read it, then feel free to scroll down to the heart of this post which is directly below a line of traffic light symbols.
 
We now adjourn to the 1990s, when there was a ploy to make one bishop the Voice of the Catholic Church in America.  And of course, the spokesman of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, all 6'4" or so of him, said that that one bishop should be Donald Wuerl.
 
Yes, in the 1990s and in the Turn of the Millennium Donald Wuerl was being advertised as the holiest man of his generation.  Others in Pittsburgh knew that the truth was opposite of what Wuerl's Propaganda Team was telling Americans.  After all, the flaming Peter-Pan look-alike who accommodated "Dignity Masses" against Vatican Decrees wasn't exactly the manliest man on Earth.
 
Now, Pittsburgh had the reputation of being a city of near-illiterate thugs who knew nothing of modernization.  Well, the reality is that Pittsburgh was declared the most livable city in America in 1985 and in three specific years of the early 21st Century.  
 
In fact, in the 1990s, there were approximately 42,000 millionaires living in the "Pittsburgh Vicinity."  Moreover, there was a time when there were more millionaires in Pittsburgh than in New York City's five boroughs, due to the profits of the steel industry.  
 
And of course, in the modernization of humanity, Pittsburgh has had many firsts,  1] including the first robotics institute in the world,  2] the first public television station,  3] the first commercial radio station,  4] the first all-aluminum veneered skyscraper,  5] the first wire-rope suspension bridge,  6]  the first successful oil refinery for the sake of kerosene production,  7] the world's first movie theater which was called the Nickelodeon, and  8] the first major league baseball stadium made entirely out of concrete & steel.  And of course, such a first was fitting for the Steel Capital of the World.
 In addition to having been the Steel Capital of the World, Pittsburgh was once the Glass Capital of America: 
Pittsburgh was also the King of Kerosene, literally saving the whales 

In fact, the Pittsburgh which is stereotyped as a city of illiterates has had five Pulitzer Prize winners.  In fact, the Univ of Pittsburgh manages one of the most prestigious yearly literature awards in the United States.  

The bottom line is that Pittsburgh was far more prestigious and far more accomplished as a contributor to the modernization of humanity than Hollywood or internet comedy sites made it out to be.  It's a place which would attract a power-seeking narcissist here and a power-grabbing narcissist there.  
 
For a while, Pittsburgh was the land of the ever-so-heartless Tin Man.  (For those unaware, that was one of Wuerl's nicknames while he was in DC.  Thus, that nickname gives tin a bad name.)
 
Here's an ironic modern history lesson:  Due to its large steel industry, it was in the 1890s when Pittsburgh was called "Hell, with the lid off."  It was equally said that "six months in Pittsburgh is grounds for suicide."  Well, a hundred years later, in the 1990s, things in Pittsburgh started to return to a similar state of malaise, approaching a sense of despair, mingled with outrage, step by step.

When the blatantly narcissistic Donald Wuerl was in power & influence ... being the stereotypical Peter Pan look-alike that he was ... no one was allowed to admonish or object or express grievances against him without consequences.  Living in Pittsburgh as a Catholic felt like being on the set of an end of the world movie.  

You couldn't say a thing about Wuerl, except for speaking idolatrous worship of him, or else someone such as Fr Ron Lengwin would come crashing down on you, like the Nazi SS ... like Adolph's 1925 Schutzstaffel.  Lengwin was one of Wuerl's rottweilers, even though he came off as the humble and boring shoe shine boy ... like Underdog ... when behind a radio studio microphone or in front of a TV camera.  However, when off the air, a model of charitable discourse he was not.

Ironically, Wuerl IS German in ethnicity, and he was made cardinal by the Hitler Youth Pope, otherwise known as the Nazi Pope, Joseph Ratzinger.  Only avowed liars would deny that Ratzinger's papacy was a display of corruption enjoyed by many cardinals, as if the cardinals built and owned the Church, as opposed to them inheriting it with responsibility attached to the inheriting thereof.  

As a reminder, it was Ratzinger's own butler, Paolo Gabriele, who handed over to Italian journalist, Gianluigi Nuzzi, incriminating evidence against the Vatican in general.  Thus, Ratzinger's papacy was a sick joke.  And of course, Ratzinger elevating Wuerl to the College of Cardinals was one of the sickest jokes, as the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Inquest Report illustrated.


There was a deep-dive investigation which sought to identify the degree of corruption in the modern church hierarchy.  It was done by Cardinals Julián Herranz, Salvatore De Giorgi, and Jozef Tomko. Ratzinger was given the blueprints to curb hierarchical church corruption.  However, it was said to have been the motivating factor for Benedict XVI resigning, because he didn't have the strength or the courage to clean house.

End of Introduction
 Start of In Re: Anthony Cipolla, 1993, as well as 1978
 
During the time when the Cipolla Rehearing occurred ... in 1993 ... the Vatican was already deeply corrupt with Good Ole Boy Cronyism.  That cronyism reached into the ranks of the Pittsburgh media.
 
TESTIMONY of grifters supported by political opportunitst, Donald Wuerl: Easy to IMPEACH 

There is/was A LOT of exculpatory evidence in the Anthony Cipolla Case which includes proof that the woman formerly known as Diane Thompson ... along with her eldest son ... outright lied  ... and repeatedly lied.  Before all else, you need to learn the following things.





More specifically, Cipolla was served with a Summary Notice to appear at a Probable Cause Hearing, on August 28, 1978.  Yet the 1978 journalist described the Summary Notice as an indictment.  The incompetent journalist of 1978 described it as an arrest.  
 
The reason why a Probable Caused Hearing was scheduled was because the police had no evidence against Cipolla, and therefore, the police could not file a police criminal complaint, otherwise known as a Police Affidavit.  If there existed the evidence that Diane Thompson and her then-twelve old son claimed that there was, Cipolla would have been placed in handcuffs without being summoned to an August 28th, 1978 hearing.   Therefore ====>
 
The truth is that the scheduled August 28th hearing was to see if there were due cause to file an indictment against Cipolla, in the first place.  The hearing was to see if he was going to be arrested.  No arrest transpired.  

We adjourn to the 1978 Cipolla Case which ever-so-coincidentally occurred almost exactly after Diane Thompson asked Anthony Cipolla to get his pastor to pay Diane Thompson's monthly apartment rent, followed by the pastor saying to Cipolla that the parish wasn't a charity organization and couldn't afford to pay Diane Thompson's rent.

Now, it's important to note that, in the late 1970s, a white single mother faced significant danger when living in the HUD welfare projects.  So, it would be expected to find a white single welfare mother vehemently trying to avoid living in the projects.  So, such women would do what they could to get charity for living in other venues of housing.  HUD project housing in the late 1970s was NOT safe housing:

                     
                                 

Below is a timeline consensus, from AI
 

In review, in order to prevent air-headed misunderstanding:  The 1978 Cipolla Case lasted 34 days, and there was NO ARREST.  There was only a scheduled PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING, and such hearings were designed to discern if whether or not there were cause to file charges in the first place.  

The August 1978 hearing was cancelled an hour or so before it started, by Diane Thompson, herself.  Plus, there were NOT two detectives assigned to the case.  There was only one.

The 34 day time span is pivotal to note, because, in 1978, it took approximately 52 days for the results of a seminal fluid test to be issued by any lab.  There was NO POSITIVE seminal fluid evidence involved in 1978 Cipolla case, at all. 
 
 

Concerning Diane Thompson's false claim about semen in 1978:

In as much, Diane Thompson lied ... yet again.  Randy Engel was stupid enough to have believed her ... yet again.  There was no seminal fluid report in the 1978 Cipolla Case, and there was none in the 1989 Tim Bendig Case, concerning a Tim Bendig who was repeatedly accused of being a lying con artist throughout the years.



And remember, Cipolla was NEVER indicted for any type of molestation in any court, ever.  This means that he was NEVER arrested and NEVER arraigned.  In fact, he was NOT tried at the Vatican for any of Tim Bendig's accusations.  Moreover, two District Attorney offices found Bendig to have ZERO corroborating witnesses and ZERO physical evidence.
 
Yet, Randy Engel's 2016 has a narration of arraignment appearances that never happened in the first place, and which never happened to any human in the district of Allegheny County the way Engel described such hearings.  
 
I talked to one of the two actual uniformed police officers who went to Thompson's apartment in 1978 ... to take her statement and then give it to the sole detective assigned to the case.  He definitively explained the court process and I already posted the details on another post.  I'm not going to repeat them here.  After all, there is a search box on this page.  The bottom line is that Randy got the whole process all wrong, proving that her 2016 defamatory article was one big lie. 

I already explained how the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure operated, in this type of case.  I even mentioned where, in Pittsburgh, a recently arrested defendant got arraigned, in 1978.  Randy Engel claimed that people were arraigned elsewhere.  
 
This is another instance showing that her 2016 defamatory Cipolla article was a wall-to-wall lie engineered by her overly paranoiac  "good good New Jersey friend" with whom I spoke for hours.  This "good good New Jersey friend" of Randy Engel's would talk and talk and talk and talk, until my landline phone ran out of battery power.  
 
In my private citizen's personal  opinion of her, she was a hate-filled gossip ... and a fear-filled gossip .... and she had a sense of "glamor arrogance,"  being that she proudly said that all the gay guys wanted to be like her "ballerina" daughter.  And I don't know if her daughter even took ballet lessons or not.
 
The pertinent fact in this matter is that Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" was a nurse.  Now, nurses know that intense or prolonged stress can cause heart attacks upon those with heart conditions.  By her actions, Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" was saying to Cipolla, "Die you scum-sucking pig." 
 
And concerning the aggravation of this "good good New Jersey friend" of Randy Engel, I once posted a Maciel article of hers ... at her dictatorial request ... on this very site.  Then, maybe an hour or two later, she's mildly frantic ... deeply concerned ... about getting sued for defamation by the Maciel People.  She told me to take it offline.  Okay fine.
 
Then, maybe one, two, or three days later, she calls me up and tells me to post the Maciel article yet again.  During the posting, the web-provider temporarily closed for maintenance purposes.  Then, this woman's competition sees this half-done post online and reports on how badly it was done.  
 
NEXT, Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" badgered me into responding to her competition in some kind of comment board.  So, as to shut that badgering woman up, I posted something, and she called me back, saying, "You did good, kid."  I felt like Enzo the Baker in the hospital front-steps scene of Godfather Part 1.   
 
The bottom line here is that I only saw high-school-level pettiness from a person acting as if to be on a mission from the Eternal God.  This person's mind was still in high school, competing with the other girls in the high school in her mind.  This is the person who orchestrated the contents of the 2016 defamatory Engel article.  
 
This is the same woman who confidently claimed that I was a fraud only pretending to be in construction, even though there are hundreds of witnesses who encountered me on construction sites, at warehouses, at order counters, along with over a thousand pieces of paper with my name on them, concerning construction material purchases. 
 
You can also include my signature on hundreds of construction company paychecks.  So, if you have a lot of money at your disposal and you repeat the defamation spoken of me by Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend,"  then you and I are going to court ... for lots and lots of money.
 
And for you who believe in the moral necessity of fidelity to the original Catholic Church, through apostolic succession AND the Seat of St Peter,  Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" left the Catholic Church.  However, this is typical for those holier-than-art-thou types.  
 
The Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress 
 
That good good friend of Engel contributed to Cipolla's heart-related sudden death, due to the stress the 2016 defamatory article caused him, especially in light of the fact that he was NOT given the time or space to defend himself.  This is how Nazi dictators worked.  
 
This is something close to Homicide by Fright ... or negligent homicide ... or a form of manslaughter, as well as it being the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
 
 
Oh, and then came this New Jersey woman's Number 1 theory:  
 
She asserted that all homosexuals become child molesters after reaching middle age, because they are no longer attractive to young homosexual males.
 
Well ... uhhhhm ... I live in the city, between two famous university campuses, each of whom has a "world renowned status."  I'm even in walking distance from a network television office which was the first public television station in the word.  
 
I live near the mansions, including Donald Wuerl's former manor-type house.  I live near the indebted college students renting nearby houses.  I've a lot of Jewish neighbors, including one of whom who had a relative murdered during the 2018 tree of life Synagogue massacre which occurred three blocks away from where I'm typing this post.   So, I've a bit more experience in life than the average bear.  Moreover ...
 
I personally know what it is to have two young ladies knock on my door, frantically telling me that their dad was beating their mom, followed by me having to walk right into a wife-beating, just to shut it down.  Oh, that teaches a lot of wisdom.
 
I also know what it is to literally take the retaliation victim of a predatory priest into hiding.  This, alone, teaches you far more what the holier-than-art-thou church women can possibly teach.
 
I've conversed with the eastern Indians here, as well as the Jamaicans also here.  I've conversed with the native Chinese students, and they are not at all lacking in intelligence, even though they certainly were given limited information about World Society, while in China.  Such a thing gives you insights.   
 
I have repeatedly crossed paths with Pittsburgh Steelers, with me going my way and with each of them going their way.  Yet, on two occasion two different Steelers stared at me, while I was dressed in construction worker attire, seated in a pick-up truck.  And then they went on their way, in a matter of seconds.
 
I even had a famous top-forty hit song musician walk in front of my car while he was hurrying to the concert hall 40 feet away.  And of course, he was hurrying, in order to avoid any nearby autograph hounds.  I instantly learned something by facing his facial expressions.
 
I also conversed with Andy Warhol's nephew more than once.  And that guy did meet major figures in the Rock & Roll world.  Super famous ones.  Again, insights were conveyed to me.  
 
The bottom line is that the statistical probability is that you have lived a much much more sheltered life than I did.  This means that I have much more experience than you and insights to go with the experience.
 
In all of my metropolitan encounters with humanity, I have commonly encountered the transsexuals and standard homosexuals in certain venues.  I can absolutely assure you that the adult homosexual world ... at least the metropolitan world ... has its own culture.  The one thing about these guys is that ======>  
 
=====> they need "someone to talk to" (in the Billy Joel sense of the phrase)  and that someone needs to be an adult.  
 
Maybe in younger years they have played a game of musical chairs with beds, and lived in sexual mayhem.  But in older years, they need someone who will not let them be left alone in their thoughts, as if to be completely isolated from society.  
 
They need affirmation and confirmation, as well as simple understanding.  They need to converse and even to vent.  Such a thing is done with an adult, even when you're an aging homosexual.
 
Plus, these guys ... at least when talking to me in public ... know history and culture more than the average city slicker.  They need "a mind" to be with them, in terms of academic subject matter, especially when at an art museum.  They need someone to talk to ... on an adult level ... even when they get past middle age.  
 
But of course, the blatant observation which proves Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" to be wrong in her assertion that homosexuals turn into child molesters, when they become old & ugly, is the fact that there are homosexuals who are young & ugly, yet they mate-up with adult homosexuals and don't become child molesters.  
 
Very simply, young pedophiles become the aging pedophiles.  Homosexuals attracted to adults don't suddenly change their preference. 
 
Moreover, children who are not being sex-trafficked have an aversion toward ugly old men.  They are not inclined to leap into their arms.
 
 
 
Back to the New Jersey Disconnection from Reality 
 
It got to the point where I told Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend," in writing, to never call me again and to not send me emails anymore.  This was in 2011 or 2012.  Then, in the Summer of 2012, I went on my 12,000 mile coast to coast to coast road trip solo.  It lasted 60 days and it cost me $10,000 pre-Biden dollars.
 
And yes, while on that journey, I had to buy four entirely new tires and get entirely new brakes, as well as getting the oil changed, etc, etc, etc. 
 
Next came me actually meeting Cipolla and receiving a box of documents which detailed events much differently than was described by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, KDKA radio, and the other Wuerl People.  That would be 2013.  Then I posted my findings on the Cipolla investigation.  That was in 2014.  
 
Randy Engel's good good New Jersey was disturbed, alarmed, polarized, dismayed, etc.  So, she was going to get an article out there which stated the opposite of what I stated.
 
Then came the 2016 Engel article which utterly traumatized heart-patient & diabetic neuropathy patient, Anthony Cipolla.  In his state of unhealthiness, he wasn't going to molest anyone.  Yet, the New Jersey hag had to have Randy Engel literally kill off Cipolla with wall-to-wall falsehoods in an article that was easy to detect as a long list of falsehoods.  
 
This included Randy pretending to be the second coming of Perry Mason, while showing that she knew nothing about the actual rules of criminal procedure and 1978 DNA testing.
 
It took me a lot of time to accept the fact that Wuerl would lie so egregiously about Cipolla.  Now, I knew how vicious he was during the Torquato Retaliations, but I assumed that he wouldn't have been so stupid to have orchestrated a major farce against Cipolla.  This is because those farces are eventually revealed, destroying the con artist's credibility for all time.
 
I kept trying to figure out where I went wrong in my viewing of those documents.  Cipolla was said to have been arrested and arraigned and even tried as a sexual monster at the Vatican.  None of that ever happened in real life.  
 
Then came another piece of evidence, and yet another one, and even more pieces that constituted exculpatory evidence.  I then acknowledged that Wuerl would go egregiously far, being that this is the same Wuerl who allowed the Torquato Outrage and who simultaneously covered up Wolk, Zula, Pucci, Zirwas, Hoehl, Wellinger, Huff, and Fr Leo of West Aliquippa.   
 
The conclusion was that a bishop as deceitful as Wuerl would find himself a scapegoat and orchestrate a case of extremely ridiculous deceit, as a diversionary tactic, to hide his real cover-ups.  
 
Then came the 2018 PA Grand Jury Report.  Yet, I reported Wuerl as a danger to society as far back as 1998.  So, Wuerl was cited for wrong-doing even twenty years before the 2018 official report.  
 
Yet, the media didn't care, showing how incompetent and non-factual the media has been, thereby resulting in very popular alternative internet broadcasts replacing the worthless mainstream media.
 
It was arrogance mingled with laziness
 
Randy Engel was apparently too lazy to learn the introductory basics of the PA Rules of Criminal Procedure, making her 2016 article a sick joke.  Moreover, if you believed the contents of that article, then you are a moron in law, without doubt.  In fact, if you did believe the contents of Engel's 2016 article as undeniable fact, then stay away from people selling Florida swamp land real estate.  

Quick Review on 1993 Vatican Rehearing   

The Vatican case was based on Wuerl dismissing Cipolla from ministry, because Wuerl received From St Luke's Institute, in Maryland, a diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies for Cipolla.  Ron Lengwin, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's Ann Rodgers-Melnick, and Donald Wuerl dedicated their time to deceiving America into thinking that the Vatican case dealt with molestation, when it did not.  

Well, another professional institute diagnosed Cipolla as being mentally healthy, during the same time span.  And of course, Cipolla had to pay the bill out of his pocket.  None the less, Wuerl called the favorable diagnosis "scantily" and rejected it.  Wuerl let humanity be deceived that the Vatican Case involved Bendig's accusations against Cipolla.  It had nothing to do with that.


The other media reports, even those from the Diocese of Pittsburgh, were filled with SLEIGHT-OF-HAND semantic twists that presented the Cipolla case in a False Light.  I've already covered that, too.  But, I did so before the emergence of the friendly availability of the vast AI library.  
 
In review of the Research of the Cipolla Case 
 
For the record, I was NEITHER a follower NOR a fan NOR an admirer of the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla.  But, I did meet admirers of him.  They were fine.  Plus, I was paid ZERO dollars and ZERO cents for all of the research that I did ... which I did, at my own expense.  Thus, I had and I have no conflict of interest in this case.

It's simply that this case, beginning with a box of documents, fell into my hands.  Being that the documentary evidence contradicted all that was claimed by the Wuerl People and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, I automatically had the task of doing extracurricular homework on the case ... at my own uncompensated expense.  After all, when defamation occurs, restitution is required through whoever finds the exculpatory evidence which defends the accused. 
 
Now remember, one day in the 2010s, I received a phone call, where the voice on the other side said, "We're going to meet Anthony Cipolla today."  My immediate response was, "Why do you want to waste your time on this case?"  I later asked, "What makes you think he's innocent?"  
 
The bottom line is that I was not a brain-washed follower of anybody, including Cipolla.  Yet, until the 2010s, I trustingly believed all of the defamatory reports about Cipolla published by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.  It's the 2020s now.  I never waste my time reading the Post Gazette anymore.  I ignore it as absolutely worthless.
