Cipolla = zero criminal charges VS Richard Zula charged with 130 counts of abuse

Concerning the date of this post, August 30th, 2016 is the tenth anniversary of the violent & sudden death of the Anthony Cipolla who, at the time, was being traumatized by a defamatory three-part article written by a woman named Randy Engel.  Anthony Cipolla was being given ZERO rest & ZERO peace 100% of the time.  He then ran out of time.  Let us begin:

 

In the continuing saga of Donald Wuerl's well established hypocrisy, it was Richard Zula whom Wuerl was covering up, despite Zula's well known violent reputation which earned for him the nickname, "Sade."  

 

Even after Zula's conviction, Wuerl gave him a monthly stipend ... a monthly check.  Cipolla was accused by two repeatedly proven liars... ten years apart... and was never indicted or convicted of anything.  Yet, he received nothing from Wuerl.  Yet, the Leo Burchianti who molested eight youths got to live at St John Vianney House for life.  Cipolla didn't get to do so, despite his heart condition & neuropathy, as well as his diabetes.

 

She was so positively assured, in her smug arrogance

In 2016, Randy Engel assured us with great confidence that the evidence of Anthony Cipolla being a serial molester was blatant.  She stated that the evidence existed in the fact that Cipolla was "moved around" a lot of times, during his first five years as an active priest.  He was given multiple parish assignments in as many years.  

Engel forgot about the PRIEST SHORTAGE of the late 1970s, when priests were in a pea & shell shuffle game. 

According to Engel, this five parish assignment is unheard-of, and is the tell-tale sign of a molester.  According to reality, however, the multiple parish assignments given to a newly ordained DIOCESAN priest was something quite common in the late 1970s.  None the less, Engel erroneously concluded that:

Of course, Randy Engel was making it look as if Anthony Cipolla kept getting caught molesting youth after youth, followed by him being assigned to a different parish here and a different parish there, as a cover-up.  This is why multi-million dollar defamation lawsuits exist.  

The 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Inquest blew upon the doors on the Diocese of Pittsburgh, including their archives.  If Cipolla were a serial molester, a secret archive file somewhere would have emerged, at the hands of a Pennsylvania State constable.  It would have then been entered into the record.  There would have been a file in a secretive archive detailing such accusations against Cipolla. 

Moreover, if he were the molester Randy Engel conjectured him to have been, then two, four, or six more accusers would have emerged, and they would have given testimony to the 2018 PA Grand Jury.  No new accuser came forth.  

Cipolla was never charged.  Zula was charged with 130 counts.

Richard Zula received a monthly stipend ... a monthly financial check or monthly bank deposit ... from the Diocese of Pittsburgh, by order of Donald Wuerl, even after he was convicted of sexual abuse.  Cipolla received nothing from Wuerl, except massive doses of defamation, through Wuerl's surrogates.

And of course, the Richard Zula who received a monthly check from Wuerl was once charged with 130 counts of child sexual abuse and even the possession of child pornography.  Yet, Cipolla was the one made out to be Wuerl's greatest monster, by the media and the internet.

 

So, for the record, Cipolla was NEVER found with any child pornography.  Richard Zula was. 

 

 

Now for the major hypocrisy of Randy Engel, in her damning of Cipolla, in his parish assignment record

 

Randy stated that the Pgh Diocesan spokesman, Fr Ron Lengwin, asserted that the average priest's first assignment is about five years in duration.  And of course, my multiple expert sources did not agree.

 

None the less, according to Randy Engel, if you are a priest whose first parish assignment was five years long, then you are a good man who was never accused of molestation.  Therefore, you never had to be moved to different parishes, to cover-up your habit of molestation.

 

Newsflash, folks:  Fr Richard Zula's first parish assignment lasted 5 years.  Yet, he was a monster, once charged with 130 criminal counts.  In fact, Zula had an assignment that was 4 and a half years long, as well as a parish assignment 4 fours long.  Thus, Richard Zula, by means of his parish assignment record, appeared to be a stable man.  He was anything but that.  Randy Engel, in her assessment, was wrong. 

 

Self-proclaimed Psychiatry Expert, Randy Engel 

In the same defamatory 2016 article, Randy Engel concluded that Anthony Cipolla most probably was at least borderline schizophrenic or borderline Psychotic.

Big Question: Ladies & gentlemen, what is deadly wrong with Randy Engel's derogatory conclusion about Cipolla's state of mental health?

ANS: Cipolla was analyzed by TWO board-certified and licensed psychiatric facilities, and both facilities OFFICIALLY did NOT diagnose Cipolla as being Schizophrenic or Psychotic.  

In fact, the licensed NYC psychiatric facility gave Anthony Cipolla a clean bill of mental health, through & though.  Yet,  Randy Engel, in her elitist arrogance, placed herself above two mental institutions and their board-certified & licensed professionals.  

Quite frankly, Randy Engel and her "good good New Jersey friend" are the ones who need to be in a psychiatric institute.

Engel's "unusual" claim 

In her claiming that it was "unusual" for a newly ordained diocesan priest to have been frequently shifted from parish to parish in the 1970s, Engel LIED.  It was and is very common for a newly ordained DIOCESAN priests to be shifted-around, simply for the sake of gaining experience, according to the published experts. Then came the matter of the late 1970s priest shortage.  

Newly ordained priests of a religious order are a different issue, being that they are limited to only the parishes run by their religious order, as well as their religious order's affiliated Catholic schools.  So, their assignments were far more limited than that of a diocesan priest, for the most part.  

Diocesan priests were in a different set of circumstances, with much wider boundaries.  By the way, a diocesan priest is also known as a "secular priest."

Observe the reality of a newly ordained diocesan priest ... even in the 1970s, according to the Archdio of D.C, the Denver Catholic, the Jersey Catholic, EWTN, and other sources: 

 

 

Did you ever wonder what contributed to the priest shortage of the late 1970s?  Well, the answer is that it was caused by the final phase of the Vietnam War, in March of 1973, and then at the end of the same war, in April of 1975:

 

ABOVE: Get into reality and take note that the 'TYPICAL NUMBER OF MOVES" made by "NEWLY ORDAINED PRIESTS" were & are usually "UP TO 5 IN 5 YEARS." 

 

Now, Anthony Cipolla became a NEWLY ORDAINED DIOCESAN PRIEST on May 27th, 1972.  Thus, it was expected for him to have been  assigned to as many as five parishes in his first five years, during a priest shortage that basically begin in March of 1973.  

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!!!!

 

AND REMEMBER, the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury had the power to scour through church archives and documents involving any accusations against any priests.  The record has it that Cipolla was NOT a serial molester being moved from parish to parish, in order to cover-up any molestation activities.  There was found no record of sexual abuse accusations against him in his first five years of ministry. 

 

However, according to Randy Engel and her "good good New Jersey friend," the police were engaged in the cover-up of a molester priest, thereby making the police accomplices in molestation.  To reasonable people, however, the police were showing gratitude to a 1970s priest who found a way to keep kids "off the streets" and "out of trouble."  

 

Q:  So, were the police the accomplices of a molester or is Randy Engel the stereotypical & predictable gossipy hag of absolutely worthless value, clinging to her defamation? 

      

Concerning Cipolla's assignments, I do know that there was one specific pastor Cipolla could not stand.  This is because, he specifically told me.  So, Cipolla requested a transfer and got it.  But, Randy Engel insinuated that each parish assignment equaled one molestation accusation each.  

No, Engel simply succumbed to the influence of her pushy and emotionally disturbed "good good New Jersey friend" who wanted Cipolla gone forever.   Engel did NOT think things out.  She trusted her very pushy and hate-filled friend who did leave the Catholic Church ... which was ironic for Catholic-Doctrine-Supporter, Randy Engel.  

Randy was basically a groupie following a New Jersey cult leader, at least in 2016.  That New Jersey woman freaked out when Cipolla tried to get a home-schooling job as some kind of religion teacher ... in New Jersey.  

I personally thought that this was the stupidest thing Cipolla ever did, and in the end it would come to cost him everything.  This is because that New Jersey woman wanted Cipolla out of the picture, proverbially & literally.   That New Jersey woman wanted Cipolla dead, and she got what she wanted.  I call it voluntary manslaughter or negligent homicide or homicide by fright.  

Remember, I talked to that New Jersey woman repeatedly, for consecutive hours at a time, and I can assure you that she wanted Anthony Cipolla dead ... literally.

None the less, the New Jersey woman didn't know that Anthony Cipolla:

1] ... was NEVER arrested even in 1978, but was rather defamed by a single mom who claimed that DNA evidence was taken from young Tucker's clothes and was positively matched to Cipolla in a hospital lab within one, two, or three days time, when 1978 DNA matches took more than 7 weeks to complete ... with the testing thereof never occurring in hospitals ... but rather, occurring at NIH labs, in 1978. 

None the less, Cipolla was ... 

2] ... officially cleared by TWO DA offices who found that Tim Bendig's accusations against Cipolla were unfounded.  Now, this is according to the specific testimony of Tim Bendig himself, unaltered & unedited.  There was zero physical evidence and no corroborating witnesses, at all.  

BTW, the counties were Allegheny County where sits Pittsburgh and Beaver County, the home of the former largest push button railroad in the World, along with American Bridge Inc, J&L Steel, Armco Steel, Babock & Wilcox, A.M. Byers, H.H. Robertson, and other industrial plants which included a Valvoline Depository.  

By the way, concerning the Tom Hamill mentioned by Engel in 2016, he was in the administration of McQuire Home, in New Brighton, PA ... and NOT a teenager who frequented the McQuire Home, as if he were a sex groupie or only a Padre Pio Prayer Group groupie ... as Tim Bendig falsely claimed.  This is explained elsewhere at this site.  

Observe below how Tim Bendig was NOT regarded as the teller of truth.  In 1989, Bendig should have been indicted, arrested, and arraigned for filing two false police reports. 

Proof that Bendig was NOT credible came in him claiming to the Beaver Count asst DA that he was molested for five years straight at St  Canice Parish in Knoxville, in Allegheny County jurisdiction.  Well, during that time, Cipolla was stationed at the McGuire Home.

Now, when you get molested, you remember the habitual things specifically.  If Bendig really had been molested by Cipolla, he would have remembered where he was molested ... and something about the room where he was molested.  

As far as goes Bendig, when he was accusing Cipolla of molestation, Bendig was not paying attention.  In my private citizen's personal opinion which is protected under NY Times v Sullivan, 376 US 254 (1964), Bendig was only concentrating on the emotional effect of his cadence and tone of voice.  I personally experienced Bendig's "feel-sorry-for-me" cadence.  I almost fell for it.  For a short while Bendig had me conned.

None the less, the list of four people in the center of the Beaver County DA case report below are all PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY, and not sex groupies.  The names of authorities include Tom Hamill.

In addition, Anthony Cipolla  ... 

3]  ... NEVER had to register as a sex offender, being that he was never even arrested for a sex offense, in the first place.  He was NOT arrested in 1978.  

In continuing, Cipolla also ... 

4] ... through his attorney ... my former neighbor John Alan Conte ... had dozens of character witnesses lined-up to testify at the Tim Bendig lawsuit trial which Wuerl made sure would never happen.  Wuerl simply gave Tim an out of court settlement shortly before the trial date.

5] ... was only accused by a Diane Thompson who was proven to be an outright wall-to-wall liar, and who was hard-up for apartment rent money during the time in 1978 when she accused Cipolla. 

 6]  ... had no one accuse him of molestation ... outside of financially desperate Tim Benig and financially desperate Diane Thompson.

7]  Plus, in the thirteen years since I was first handed the box of documents pertaining to the Cipolla Case, not a single person ever contacted me, to tell me that Cipolla molested him or anyone else.

8]  The 1993 Vatican Case had nothing to do with Tim Bendig's or Diane Thompson's accusations.  

9] Moreover, Randy Engel's New Jersey friend refused to accept that  Diane Thompson was repeatedly caught lying.  And it was Diane Thompson who, after sending me emails proving that she knew I existed, publicly stated that I didn't exist, but rather, Anthony Cipolla was running this site under my name which Diane Thompson claimed was a fictional name.  

None the less, Cipolla's fatal error was walking into that home-schooling interview as a priest-with-faculties and not as a suspended priest forbidden to present himself as a priest.  That was stupid of him.  

None the less, Cipolla was cut off by Wuerl, even though Wolk, Zula, Pucci, and Leo Burchianti, as well as Huff & Zirwas were NOT cut off.  None the less, Cipolla needed money.  His reputation was ruined in Western Pennsylvania.  So, he went to Jersey, for work, and he actually asked a priest for the home-schooling job.  But, the priest told the New Jersey woman to interview Cipolla, instead.

And as far as goes work experience for Cipolla, it was limited to managing youth groups and prayer groups.  He needed to take with him the docs which proved that he was repeatedly CLEARED by LAW ENFORCEMENT and was never arrested in 1978. 

He also needed to dress as a layman  Even at that, no home schooler would have hired him as a layman, unless that home schooler knew him for decades.  And Cipolla still had people who believed in him, and concluded that Bendig was just a liar.  This included Jesuit author, Fr. John Hardon.

Most importantly, applying for a youth chaplain type of job was only attempted by Cipolla once.  If he would have kept trying, then that would have been the sure sign of a molester, on the hunt for children.  But, he didn't keep doing so.  If Cipolla had kept doing that, I would have called the police on him, myself.

The Cipolla Case still has its doubts, but only concerning Frank Labiaux's accusations.  At the least, it is certain that he was not the Son of Satan whom Randy Engel made him out to be.  Cipolla was NOT the monster that Richard Zula was.  

And remember, I saw the whole article long before the November 30th, 2016 publishing of it, done by Renew America.  In fact, Randy Engel ... on a few occasions ... asked me to publish writings of her ... on my Marian website.  And I spoke extensively to her "good good New Jersey friend."

All in all, that New Jersey woman who was obsessed with home schooling and obsessed with avoiding all Catholic schools was too emotionally immature to understand Cipolla, in his plight, under a thorough corrupt and ruthless Donald Wuerl.  

She was also asininely wrong in other things, time after time.  After all, she claimed that there was no way I was in construction ... and she then claimed that I was a fraud only pretending to be in construction, while fronting criminal activity.  HOWEVER ... 

... there have been about a thousand construction company paychecks addressed to me, as well as ...

... hundreds of times I signed vouchers, deliver tickets, and purchase orders for construction material, as well as me writing-out employee checks in my handwriting and then signing them in 2014, 2015, and 2016 ...

... as well as me having numerous witnesses see me perform construction activity, including the inspectors, fellow construction workers, subcontractors, home owners, school security guards, delivery men, concrete truck operators, curious neighbors, traffic control flagmen, warehouse employees, building material lot workers, building material store managers, etc.  

Plus, in my career, I operated heavy equipment, even in an Army Corps of Engineers project, as well as having done all phases of concrete work through the years.  I also did ironwork, finish carpentry, and metal trim work, as well as the various unskilled labor tasks which are very much needed, in order to get a construction project completed. 

I was in projects paid-for by HUD, the URA, the US Dept of Energy, the Beaver County Commissioners, the Allegheny County Commissioners, the City of Pittsburgh Engineers, the Twin Council of Governments, Penn DOT'S infrastructure mgmt unit, the Army Corps, the US Postal Service, the Veteran's Administration, numerous municipalities, a few businesses, a few historical societies, and numerous private home owners, including the owners of mansions.  

Randy Engel's anti-Catholic mentor who wanted Cipolla dead 

In the end, the New Jersey conspiracy theory woman didn't merely avoid all Catholic schools.  She left the entire Catholic Church for a religion that does not believe in the Immaculate Conception nor the indissolubility of Marriage nor the primacy of Saint Peter.  Her rejection of Catholicism went from A to Z, and she was the predictable pushy, shovey, over-domineering hag. 

She was so annoying and out-of-touch that I had to write to her and tell her to never contract me again.  Only after that did she start defaming me, requiring me to post counter-measures such as my security clearances, including the one below.  

Keep in mind that feeble hags have no power, yet they lust for power.  They get their power from slandering others, to make others appear lower than them:

So, for the fourth, fifth, or sixth time, if you state about me what she stated or what Diane Thompson stated ... and if you have money ... then you and I ARE going to court.  After ten years, you should realize that I'm NOT Anthony Cipolla in disguise operating a criminal ring.  

In fact, I truly have been in construction since 2014.  Before that time span, I was in heavy construction in 1992.  I was also in government contract construction from March 1995 to September 2001.  In fact, I was in insurance, as a licensed agent, in 1994.  And then I was also a respiratory invalid for about ten years or so.  

I've been in about 300 construction "venues" ... aka on 300+ construction sites ... and there have been no dead bodies, no missing persons, no missing jewelry, no missing automobiles, and no failed inspections ... as well as NO liability lawsuits or failure of performance lawsuits.  

I simply wanted Wuerl to grant me and anti-sweatshop, anti-slave labor apostolate back in the late 1990s, being that the defraudment of laborers of their wages is one of the four sins which cry to Heaven for Vengeance.  

A worker from Pittsburgh headlining worker's rights in a city known for its workers and their production of steel would have made for the quintessential worker's rights group.  The group could have been named after a papal encyclical that addressed worker's rights and the fair wage.  

But not under narcissist Donald Wuerl and his quest to constantly live the Marie Antoinette Lifestyle.  Wuerl completely ignored me.  Wuerl did NOT care to stop human suffering.  He only increased it wherever he could.  But, such a thing is typical for a narcissist.

------ 

BTW, do you want to know why Diane Thompson accused Cipolla of molestation in 1978 and then quickly withdrew her private citizen criminal complaint, in my private citizen's personal opinion which is protected under New York Times Co v Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964)?  Well here it is:

Diane Thompson, in my private citizen's opinion, was desperate for rent money.  So, she accused Cipolla of molestation, hoping that she would get a quick out-of-court settlement.  This means that, according to my private citizen's opinion:

Thompson didn't know the difference between civil court and criminal court.  When she found out that there was no money in it for her, in her having filed paperwork in criminal court, she withdrew her private criminal complaint against Cipolla, thereby dropping the whole case in August of 1978.  She knew that she wasn't going to get money in time to pay apartment rent ... in my opinion. 

 

  

Below are Cipolla's "pastoral assignments."

 

And remember, his personal interest was in prayer group & even youth group chaplaincy, as opposed to parish life.  He was more into the liturgical ... and even ritualistic ... part of the Faith, more than shepherding parishioners.  Cipolla saw the youth are possible recruits for the seminary ... or even the priesthood.   

 

If anyone actually comes out with true evidence ... and non-contradictory witness testimony ... then I'll be the first one to say, "guilty!!!"  However, all the fact-checking against Cipolla turned out to be provable falsehoods.  And some of the allegations were ridiculously embarrassing ones too.  This included Diane Thompson's allegation of a 1965 special forces accident at a Spartanburg military base that closed-down in 1947, eighteen years prior.

Notice: Anthony Cipolla was NEVER accused of molestation in Ohio

A claim was made online, in 2021 or 2022 ... by you know whom ... that people in Ohio were now coming forth, accusing Anthony Cipolla of having molested them.  

 

In Ohio, Cipolla was in pain from neuropathy.  He was a multiple heart surgery patient and had diabetes.  He had reached his seventies.  A person in that kind of medial condition is in no condition to molest anyone.  

 

Well, it has been four or five years since Diane Thompson's predictable & sophomoric accusation.  In as much, no newspaper, no magazine, and no "priest watchdog" website ever reported any Ohio accusations against Cipolla.  There is NO MENTION of any Ohio accusation on any court docket anywhere.  This is just another instance which shows that Diane Thompson is nothing but a wall-to-wall liar. 

Above:  The priest between Anthony Cipolla & John Paul II is/was author, Fr. John Hardon.  He was a vehement supporter of and a defender of Anthony Cipolla.  And yes, he was very much aware of the accusations against Cipolla.  

So, if you insist on trashing the Anthony Cipolla who was NEVER indicted, NEVER arrested, NEVER tried, and therefore NEVER convicted in any court of law of any kind of molestation charge, then you are going to have to trash and defame Father John Hardon, too.

Where the asininity of Engel enters:  

Randy Engel's 2016 article claims that Cipolla had to have at least bordered on schizophrenia or severe psychosis.  Well, in the process of her defamation, she de facto claimed that catechism author Fr. John Hardon was an equal low-life, also approaching psychosis or schizophrenia.  This is due to his association with ... and his complete trust in ... Anthony Cipolla.

In sequence, you must then condemn all of the Catholic Church teaching stated in John Hardon's book as psychotic and schizophrenic trash.  Then, you must state that Catholicism, per se, is schizophrenic and psychotic trash.

Unlike the damners of Cipolla on the Internet, John Hardon had a relationship with Cipolla and actually knew him and his personality.  In as much, Anthony Cipolla was in close contact with the higher echelon of society, and none of the people in that echelon ever told me that Cipolla acted like a schizophrenic or a psychotic.  

In fact, concerning Anthony Cipolla's character,  I have heard, spoken in my presence, amidst eye contact directed straight at me that, "He was such a wonderful man."  

Nobody ever "personally" wrote to me or vocally said to me that Diane Thompson was such a wonderful woman.  Plus, a son stating in a 2021 or 2022 open letter, "my sainted mom,"  does NOT count as an assessment of her, because [1] it's a prejudicial conflict of interest, [2] the writer didn't state any good works that would signify a saint.  

All that I know is that this Diane Thompson mocked me, defamed me, and doxed me, as well as having claimed that I was Anthony Cipolla in disguise operating a child's molestation ring.  

Of course, the asininity of Diane Thompson is that this site EXPOSES AND CONDEMNS CHILD MOLESTERS ... as well as the molesters of teenagers, and even those priest who sexually imposed themselves on adults with the minds of children.  

Plus, there is nowhere on this site where you can order anything.  This means that you as sure as Hell can't order a child at this site.  So, how in the Hell is this site a child sex ring operation?   In as much, liars like Diane Thompson are NOT saints.

And of course, if you state what Diane Thompson stated, and if you have money, then you and I are going to court, and I will NOT settle out of court.  And it will not be a mere matter of money.  Court injunctions will be involved.  

In review of Cipolla  

Authors did not go out of their way to go to Rome with Diane Thompson.  They did, with Anthony Cipolla.  No Italian count ever represented Diane Thompson in any kind of court of law anywhere.  A count helped Cipolla.  

And yes, I know that she now has a different last name which begins with the letter, "M."  I don't want to drag it around ... in the mud of Diane Thompson's deceit and ruthlessness.

And of course, no Chicago journalist told me that Diane Thompson was probably correct.  Rather, a Chicago journalist said about  Cipolla, "He's probably innocent" ... because no one molests in a vacuum, and Cipolla didn't have a long list of accusers.  

Even at that, his two accusers both asked the Diocese of Pittsburgh for money, followed by them receiving zero dollars from the diocese.  Then came the accusations against Cipolla, during stages of financial desperation.  

The 2018 PA Grand Jury Inquest proved that Cipolla didn't have a long list of "covered-up molestation accusations," as Randy Engel FALSELY conjectured two years prior, in 2016.  This is why Diane Thompson started a new lie, in claiming that all of Cipolla's molestations occurred in Ohio, outside of the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury jurisdiction.  

There basically was no one accusing Cipolla of molestation in Pennsylvania, despite his eight parish assignments, except for two known liars whose lies are detailed here, at this site ... at this site which is NOT being operated by the dead Anthony Cipolla.  And those lies are detailed here, line item by line item.  

Ironically so 

Ironically, the 2018 PA Grand Jury Inquest exonerated Cipolla, especially when Warren "Bud" Broz said that he only believed the damning accusations of Frank Labiaux, because Broz believed that no twelve year child would ever law to a police officer.  Yet, twelve year boys definitely lied to teachers and coaches. 

None the less, the bottom line is that Bud Broz did NOT mention that he had any evidence or corroborating witnesses to prove Cipolla guilty, "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Moreover, the error in thinking that the Thompsons sealed the coffin on Cipolla in 2018 is that grand jury testimony is NEVER cross-examined.  There are no defense attorneys in grand jury inquests, given the opportunity to impeach an accuser's testimony.  And when you only judge a case on testimony that has not been cross-examined, you have a Kangaroo Court.

Now, the accusations on the part of Tucker Thompson are attached to blatant lies, especially concerning the allegation of a DNA test result  that never was ... due to the fact that DNA testing took at least 49 days in 1978, while the entire 1978 Cipolla case only lasted 34 days. 

 However, the Frank Labiaux accusations are still a collective open-ended question which needs cross-examined.  Yes, Frank Labiaux needs to be cross-examined.  Until that happens, you have no seal on Cipolla's coffin.  Rather, you have lie after lie after lie after lie told by Diane Thompson ... and one pivotal lie told by Frank Labiaux.  

That easily provable lie ... about the African Methodist Church vandalisms ... heavily degraded Labiaux's credibility.  But, he still needs cross-examined as to his accusations of 1977 and/or 1978 against Cipolla.

But, how is Labiaux going to consent to a cross-examination in the Court of Public Opinion?  And who will do the cross-examining?  None the less, famed author, John Hardon, thoroughly believed in Cipolla having had the character to not molest anyone.  Hardon believed in Cipolla's innocence.   In fact, Hardon wrote ...

Perhaps that aging defamatory woman ... if she's still alive ... will claim that she misread an article which she thought mentioned Cipolla, furthermore claiming that she relayed the news mistakenly.  Okay, fine.  Whatever.  None the less, in order to clear the record in the Court of Public Opinion: 

The bottom line is that only two households accused Cipolla of molestation, and both households didn't accuse Cipolla until shortly after each one individually asked for financial assistance from Diocese of Pittsburgh affiliates, followed by both of them receiving Zero dollars and Zero cents from those Diocese of Pittsburgh affiliates.

1978 

In 1978, a 32 year old Diane Thompson called the police on July 25th, in order to accuse Cipolla of molesting a son of hers.  Of course, she did not see any molestation take place.  More importantly, the July 25th O/I Report showed that there was no visible signs of molestation or even simple assault on Tucker Thompson.

None the less, July 25, 1978 was ever-so-coincidentally a time close to a rent payment due date.  And I emphasize "ever-so-coincidentally," as well as allegedly.  

None the less, on July 25th, she claimed that only Tucker was molested.  Allegations from Frank Labiaux ... either a step son or a DNA-related son of hers ... came a few days later.

After this, ten years passed with no one accusing Cipolla of any sexual molestation.  In fact, five years prior was a time when no one accused Cipolla of molestation, either.  So, from May 1972 to July 1978, no accusations.  

Then, from August 1978 to 1987 or 1988, no accusations.  This is the case, after a hefty dose of grand jury inquisitioning transpired in the State of Pennsylvania, in 2018.

Now think:  

The 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Inquest made it available for anyone who was molested by Anthony Cipolla to come forth and go on record.  The Welcome Mat was out in full display.  No one NEW came forth to accuse Cipolla of any wrongdoing. 

Plus, the way in which Cipolla was accused of molesting that nine year old was not usually done by child molesters. 

More importantly, secret archive records on Cipolla could have been produced by a Pennsylvania constable, via court order, which would have enumerated a number of sexual abuse accusations, if and only if the hush-hush records of molested children actually existed.  

But, no list of hidden accusers was ever presented to the Grand Jury, making Randy Engel look like even more of a jackass, in her claim that Cipolla's parish assignment record is the record of a serial molester with many sex abuse victims.  

So, where are the records of these hushed children, and in which secret archive were they found, Randy?  What specific subpoenas were presented by state constables, thereby ordering the surrender of secret Cipolla files, for the 2018 PA Grand Jury Inquest?  

What court orders were presented, to grab hold of these archives which would have enumerated all of those sex abuse victims of Cipolla, IF he were a serial molester, as Randy Engel asserted?  

Where did all of these molested children go, Randy?  Perhaps they were invisible or living in a parallel universe ... or maybe they were living in the lair of witches that the McMartin school children claimed to have seen flying over the McMartin campus.

Or is it that Randy Engel was nothing more than a non-factual, gossipy hag who became a danger to society every time she sat in front of a keyboard?   Well, her keyboard activity killed off Anthony Cipolla.  So, you better keep your distance from her, if you know what's good for you.

1987 

Then came Tim Bendig in 1987 and again in 1988.  He had literally been expelled from the Pittsburgh diocese's seminary after only one semester of attendance.  He then asked the Diocese of Pittsburgh for charity dollars and received zero.

Then, during a Padre Pio Prayer Group reception, Anthony Cipolla got everyone's attention and told the people there to stop sending Tim Bendig money ... to the seminary ... being that he didn't live there anymore.

Tim Bendig then asked a close follower of Cipolla via telephone, if "Father Cipolla" told the prayer group to stop sending him money.  The nice lady whom I personally met, "Yes, he did."  

Tim instantly responded by saying, "He shouldn't have done that."  Shortly thereafter came Bendig's accusation against Cipolla and nine other priests, as well as approximately a dozen seminarians.  Wuerl dismissed the multiple accusations as not credible and closed the books on Bendig.  

Those multiple accusations was the first instance of proving Bendig to have been nothing but a liar.  Concerning them, during Bendig's deposition, he was asked by my former neighbor John Conte, how did he come to be so sure of the homosexuality Bendig claimed to have existed in the Pittsburgh Seminary.  

Bendig was asked if he personally witnessed any of it.  Bendig's answer was that he heard all of it in the rumor mill ... from rumors ... from hearsay ... from gossip.  Yet, when he spoke to a certain newspaper, Bendig acted as if he were there watching it happen.  He was not and did not.

Quite frankly, my private citizen's personal opinion of public figure Tim Bendig ... which is protected under NY Times v Sullivan, 376 USC 254 (1964) ... is that Bendig LIED.  He didn't hear all of those stories  in any rumor mill.  He made them up.  

At the time, there was a grand total of one seminarian who kept going  around the dorm rooms, looking for sex .... ALLEGEDLY.  He was summarily dismissed, allegedly. 

February and then October 1988 

As a reminder, Wuerl was in Seattle, as an auxiliary bishop, until February 1988.  He started there in May of 1987.  Bendig's accusations were still lingering after he was expelled from the Pittsburgh seminary.  Then, after Wuerl settled-in, in 1988, the proverbial book was closed on Bendig. 

Next came the Wolk, Zula, and Pucci arrests in October of 1988.  Bendig saw that this was a great opportunity to publicize his accusations, and maybe score on some lawsuit money.  Then, on the 25th anniversary of the JFK assassination, a newspaper reported on Bendig's accusations against Cipolla.

More importantly, no one in Ohio ... and no one who used to live in Ohio ... ever accused Cipolla of molestation.  In fact, after 1988, no one from anywhere accused Cipolla of any kind of sexual abuse.  

Between 1978 and 1988, no one accused Cipolla, either.   From 1972 to 1978, no one accused Cipolla of any wrongdoing, as well.  And of course, from 1989 to 2026, no one ever accused Cipolla of any type of sexual abuse.

There were neither past molestation accusations nor present ones against Cipolla, concerning the entire state of Ohio.  Diane Thompson is merely a malicious liar, thinking that you are stupid enough to believe whatever she writes and then posts.

I've a question about the Bendig Lawsuit Deposition of Frank Labiaux, if it does exist: 

Now, concerning Frank Labiaux and an alleged deposition taken a couple weeks after Attorney Douglas Yauger received communications from Diane Thompson's clan, does anyone out there have a copy of an alleged cross-examination of Frank Labiaux? ... if such a thing actually exists?

You are more than welcomed to act like a lady or a gentleman and send me a text or an email or even give me a phone call.  In fact, you can find my cell phone number in each of the three posts about the renovation of the St. Wenceslaus Church structure, located around the early August 2026 posts.

I need to see that cross-examination or I need to see someone out there versed in trial law give a cross-examination to Frank Labiaux.  Contrary to all of those sites which arrogantly speak of Cipolla without ever using the lawsuit prevention word, ALLEGEDLY, and who are certain that he was as guilty as sin, I want to know the actual truth.

And concerning you arrogantly assured ones out there, there is one huge difference between me and you.  I talked to Cipolla time after time after time, and I even saw him in person a couple of times.  

In fact, even before Tim Bendig accused Cipolla, I was in a car with Cipolla, one night ... alone ... and he didn't try a damn thing on me.  I was also alone with Cipolla, in daylight hours, at his McGuire Home room/office, and he didn't try to do a damned thing to me.  

Zero physical contact.  Zero seductive talk.  No talk about sex.  No talk about girls.  No talk about "trying new experiences."  Etc.  It was all "church talk."

Moreover, I even offered to be a character witness for Cipolla in the Tim Bendig lawsuit.  But, there were more than enough character witnesses lined-up already.

Plus, I held and viewed the documentation.  You did not.  All in all, I'm an American construction worker who has no investment in any Padre Pio Prayer Group enterprise ... or in any Cipolla-related project ... or in any project of any person once involved with Cipolla.

That white Mercedes I often drive came solely from construction profit.  That tan Ford 250 that I also drive also came from construction profits. 

I did NOT get paid as much as a dollar to write what I did on any subject, including the Cipolla Subject.  In all that time, I received a grand total one $100 donation in 2014, from someone grateful that I revealed Wuerl as the evil entity he is, instead of claiming him to be the saint he as sure as Hell is not.  So, I have no conflict of interest in the Cipolla Case.  

Diane Thompson and her sons definitely had a conflict of interest.  In fact, they had 250,000 conflict of interest.  Bendig had nearly the same amount of conflicts of interest, too.  But, he quickly squandered his conflict of interests to the Levitske Bros, for the Two Step Lounge.  

So, let's review for those who deny reality 

I never received a $250,000 settlement after damning Cipolla with storylines already proven to have been false.  Cipolla was never put on trial, and he was never in handcuffs ... and there was no DNA evidence at all, in his 1978 case. 

Most importantly, Broz failed to produce any physical evidence or corroborating witnesses to make his intended ... yet unrealized ... prosecution of Cipolla convincing to a jury, "beyond a reasonable doubt."  

As my private citizen's personal opinion of public figure Warren Broz, as is protected under NY Times v Sullivan, I think that Broz was going through burn-out and didn't want to play sleuth anymore.  

He was drained of energy or drained of inspiration.  After all, he became a member of an organization which reaches out to those "first responders" who are either going through burn-out or mental trauma from experiences seen on-the-job.

And and and, he did NOT report on any attempt to confirm or refute a Cipolla assertion which could have been answered by the people at the Michigan province of the Pontifical Institute of Foreign Missions.  All that Broz had to do was ask the friars at that province if it were true or false that Cipolla occasionally collected medical supplies for the missions and brought some supplies with him, in his yearly trips.

Then again, maybe Broz did ask and didn't get the answer he wanted, resulting in him remaining silent about it, so as to not make Cipolla look good in the eyes of the public.

At this point, the bottom line is that the PA Grand Jury discovered that there wasn't any file mentioning any mass sex abuse accusations against Cipolla, and and and there was no one in the history of Ohio who ever accused Cipolla of molestation. 

The stupidest thing a financially strapped Cipolla ever did 

Now, Cipolla did do something really stupid after Wuerl defrocked him and cut him off from all financial assistance which Wuerl gave instead to Frs.  Wolk, Zula, Pucci, Burchianti, Zirwas, etc, etc, etc.  Cipolla tried to get a job in New Jersey from some type of home schooling organization as some kind of teacher.  

His life experience was limited to youth groups and prayer groups.  And he knew that he couldn't survive the cost of living on a minimum waged, no-experience-necessary job.

He never tried to do this kind of thing again.  If he kept trying to get a job around youth, then you could sound the alarm and have accused him of being a pedophile on the hunt, even to the point of reporting him to the police.  You could then have easily have written him off.  But, Cipolla did NOT do so.

I never mentioned what he did in the last years of his life, for financial supplementation

 Cipolla did get a monthly social security check.  But, that wasn't enough.  So, Cipolla starting living off of the CASH VALUE OF HIS LIFE INSURANCE POLICY.

PA Grand Jury: ZERO Cipolla secret archive files & no new accusers came forth

Preview:  The 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Inquest opened wide the doors, windows & curtains of SIX Pennsylvanian Roman Catholic dioceses.  It was so productive that it revealed the molestations of 301 priests upon 1,000 children.  

This grand jury inquest was so competent that, if anyone actually had been molested by Anthony Cipolla and had his accusations kept in a hush-hush secret archive file, then that person had an open avenue to come forth and go through the process of testifying against Cipolla on record.  

This also meant that any secret archive detailing any sexual abuse accusations against Cipolla would have been uncovered and made part of the record, via subpoena.  

Well, no new face came forth to accuse Cipolla, and it turned out that no such "secret molestation archive against Cipolla" was in existence.  Moreover, Cipolla was NEVER shifted to another nearby diocese ... or to any nearby state ... to hide any sexual wrongdoing.  Randy Engel was wrong about him, in her defamatory assessment of him. 

 Moreover, Anthony Cipolla was NEVER found with child pornography. 

All in all:

[1] Only Diane Thompson in the late 1970s accused Cipolla through two young sons, while she was in desperate need of apartment rent money.  In fact, she accused Cipolla shortly after she asked Cipolla for money and got none.  Moreover, the accusation came at the last week of the month, and such a week is often near rent payment due dates.

... [2] Only Tim Bendig in the late 1980s accused Cipolla, but not until after Bendig was expelled from the seminary and was denied a request for charity money from the Pittsburgh diocese ... and only after Anthony Cipolla told the Padre Pio Prayer Group people to stop sending money to a Tim Bendig who was now in desperate need for money. 

The Scorecard

 

~After all of these decades, no one from the youth groups of 1972 to 1976 ever accused Cipolla of any sexual wrongdoing.

 

~No one amongst his wide array of Padre Pio Prayer Group altar servers of the 1980s ever accused him of anything wrongful ... except for a financially destitute Tim Bendig, in 1987 and then again in 1988.

 

Concerning the Pittsburgh diocesan parishes where Cipolla was assigned: 

 

~No one from St Bernard Parish in Mt Lebanon ever accused Cipolla.

~No one from Immaculate Conception Parish, in Washington PA, ever accused him.

~No one from St Philomena's Parish in Beaver PA ever accused Cipolla.

~No one from St Agatha Parish in Bridgeville PA ever accused him.

~No one from St Philip Parish in Crafton PA ever accused Anthony Cipolla of molestation ... according to the investigators and record hunters.  

 

In addition, Cipolla was NEVER found to have possessed or have used child pornography. 

 

Needless to say, the PA Grand Jury of 2018 would have found such records, if they existed, due to the power vested & invested in it.

 

Thus, any secret archive of Cipolla molesting a multiplicity of children did NOT exist, as Randy Engel conjectured that it would.  All of the evidence and witness accounts in the wide open statewide Grand Jury Inquest shows that Cipolla was NOT a serial molester being shifted from parish to parish, to cover-up any type of molestation habit or sexual impropriety.  

 

So, if you website operators out there ... and newspaper editors and TV producers and magazine publishers ... insist on claiming that Cipolla showed all the signs of a schizophrenic child molester who was arrested, arraigned, and then let go after a DA strong-armed a Diane Thompson into "dropping the charges" that were never filed in the first place, then this conversation can be continued with the involvement of a magistrate here and a magistrate there who will be vested with the power to make the conversation have meaning ... an expensive meaning.

 

That which would be needed to initiate the civil court legal process is someone or some entity with Article III Standing.  If you don't know what that is, you can easily look it up and get an answer. 

 

And remember, Warren "Bud" Droz told the 2018 Grand Jury under oath that the only reason why he believed everything said to him by a twelve year old Frank Labiaux in late July of 1978 was that Droz believed that no twelve year old youth would ever lie to a police officer.  That is super bogus police work, and it's expected to come from someone going through police officer burn out.  Case Closed. 

 

Cipolla was stationed here at one time.  No accusations against Cipolla here.

 

The Great Hypocrisy of putting Cipolla in the Spotlight

 

Website after website puts Cipolla in neon lights, always insinuating that he, at the least, molested three youths for dozens and even hundreds of times.

 

However, there was one priest whom Wuerl reinstated who ended up being accused of molesting about 20 high school students.  It was John S Hoehl.  Why did he not get the amount of negative press that Cipolla got?

 

As another point of hypocrisy, there was the Fr Leo Burchianti who had a monthly stipend from Wuerl, while living in the St Jean Vianney House for the rest of his life.  Burchianti was surmised to have molested eight male youths.  

 

Meanwhile, the number of molestation victims at the hands of Fr John Wellinger is attached to a question mark. 

 

And of course, the Richard Zula who received a monthly check from Wuerl was once charged with 130 counts of child sexual abuse and even the possession of child pornography.  Yet, Cipolla was the one made out to be Wuerl's greatest monster, by the media and the internet.

 

 

Now for the major hypocrisy of Randy Engel, in her damning of Cipolla, in his parish assignment record

 

Randy stated that Spokesman Fr Ron Lengwin stated that the average priest's first assignment is about five years.  My multiple expert sources did not agree.

 

None the less, according to Randy Engel, if you are a priest whose first parish assignment was five years long, then you are a good man who was never accused of molestation, and therefore never had to be moved to different parishes, to cover-up your habit of molestation.

 

Well, Fr Richard Zula's first parish assignment lasted 5 years.  Yet, he was a monster.  Therefore, Randy Engel, in her assessment, is wrong.

 

 

THE IMMACULATE MISCONCEPTION

 

Plus, at the very start of one of the sections of Randy Engel's 2016 three-part article, she had a damning declarative statement about Cipolla's state of mental health which was instantly able to be proven FALSE.

 

Q:  And what exactly is this asinine & defamatory assertion that comes out of the starting gate in one of Engel's 2016 declaratory statements?

ANS:  Her mention that Anthony Cipolla was most probably a psychotic or schizophrenic? 

Q:  What makes her initial assertion an asinine one which instantly signals to the reader that the 2016 article is nothing more than a list of defamatory lies, written by a gossipy hag?

ANS:  Anthony Cipolla was analyzed by TWO board-certified & licensed psychiatric institutions which included personnel who held an MD and a medical license.  Both institutions DID NOT diagnose Cipolla as being either schizophrenic or psychotic.

In fact, the New York City institute gave Cipolla a clean bill of mental health, while the Maryland Clinic simply diagnosed him as having Clinical Depression & Suicidal Tendencies.  That is much much different than schizophrenia and/or psychosis.

And remember, Randy Engel does NOT have an M.D. attached to her name, and she was NOT the operator of a psychiatric facility. 

Usually, a person with the suicidal tendency diagnosis is treated with compassion.  In fact, people refrain from bringing any amount of grief or trauma upon that person which would compel him to suicide.  But not Randy Engel.

Of course, Engel, in her self-righteous & holier-than-art-thou mindset, made herself out to be far more knowledgeable and enlightened than all of the degree-earning & license-holding professionals at those two clinics. 

Cipolla also had a serious heart condition which included surgery.  I previously mentioned the neuropathy and diabetes of Cipolla.  This means that his medical condition was such that he was in no condition to molest anyone.  

So, Randy Engel's "good good New Jersey friend" didn't need to traumatize Cipolla to death, so as to protect children from being molested by him ... by a man who was never indicted or arrested or arraigned or placed in the witness box for any type of molestation charge.

Due to the scouring of information done in 2018, during the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Inquest, it turned out that there actually was no secretly held Cipolla archive file detailing a serial molester, during his first five years of priesthood ministry.  The PA Grand Jury concluded that there was zero sexual abuse accusations against Cipolla in his first five years of priesthood ministry.

This is important to note, because Engel claimed that Cipolla's parish assignment record was the definitive and undeniable record of a molester.  But of course, the 2018 PA Grand Jury reported much differently than a Randy Engel who had zero subpoena power and zero agents working for her.  

However, Randy Engel had to push the issue and torment Cipolla with her 2016 plan of instilling widespread defamation against him, until the shock & mental trauma which was consuming him augmented into a fatal arrhythmia, while driving.  

Cipolla then crashed into a tree with heartwood so strong & wide that the car's engine literally ended up in the front seat immediately upon impact.  Simultaneously, Cipolla was thrown from the car.
