Evidence that Wuerl orchestrated a misleading exaggeration, in the Cipolla Case

 
The man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla, chaplain of a Padre Pio Prayer Group, was fatally ejected from his car on August 30, 2016, two days after his 73rd birthday.  He was a defrocked multiple heart surgery patient said to have undergone an arrhythmia, during a time of great emotional distress & mental trauma caused by Randy Engel's 2016 article about him.  
 
That article was hate-filled defamation against him.  The three-part article was a gossipy hag's ritualistic cursing of Cipolla, with the hag being too financially meager to sue, and with her dupe becoming the epitome of arrogant worthlessness. 
 
It was found ... through intense fact-checking which even included finding a 1978 witness through the Pittsburgh Steeler Organization ... that Engel's 2016 Damnation of Cipolla article was wall-to-wall lies.  Those lies have been line-itemized & detailed already, in post after post after post, at the Wuerl-of-Hurt site.  And being that the string of defamation remains online, the Cipolla Case is NOT closed, as if to only be consigned to random history books. 
 
The first example I use, to show Randy Engel to be a liar, is the claim that accuser Diane Thompson had a husband in 1965 who was severely injured in a "special forces" training exercise" at the Spartanburg military base which was completely closed-down in 1947 and then turned into a State Park in 1949, where military training exercises have been expressly forbidden, for the past 77 years.
 
Then comes the lie about Cipolla getting arrested in 1978, accompanied by the media insinuating that Cipolla molested Tucker Thompson ... and his brother ... dozens of times, in a 12 to 24 month period.  
 
HOWEVER, the official Pittsburgh Police O/I Report stated that Tucker and his mother only claimed that Cipolla molested Tucker TWO TIMES ONLY, and only with one finger and then with one hand.  No mention of Cipolla molesting the older brother was mentioned in the July 25, 1978 Report.  
 
Concerning the 12 year old, no search for corroborating witnesses or physical evidence was done, because the sole detective of the case said specifically to the 2018 PA Grand Jury that he believed the young Frank Labiaux, because the detective believed that no 12 year old male would ever lie to the police. 
 
For those unaware, Frank Labiaux was/is a step brother or half brother of Tucker Thompson.  In 1978, Tucker was eight and Frank was twelve years of age.  Let us proceed with Wuerl's most blatant hypocrisy in the Cipolla Case:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 

For those new here, the Cipolla Case was the one which rocketed Cardinal Donald Wuerl into stardom.  The man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla was made out to be a monster molester who was allowed to "get away with it" until mighty Donald Wuerl (all 5'4 inches of that elevator-shoed narcissist) came on the scene.

Wuerl's Excuse for Defrocking Cipolla was Psychic Defect, in a Maryland diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies only

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette made it look as if Wuerl were having Cipolla tried at the Vatican for molestation.  This is a falsehood.  Wuerl only pleaded that Cipolla had to be removed from ministry, on account of the Depression and Suicidal Tendencies Diagnosis he received at St. Luke's of Maryland.  

The technical Vatican phrase was, Psychic Defect.  None the less, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette made it look as if Cipolla were diagnosed with a depraved psychological sexual dysfunction.  Only Clinic Depression.

Now, Chicago journalist, Mike Volpe, and I saw the official paperwork which only mentioned Depression & Suicidal Tendencies as the diagnosis conferred upon Cipolla.  So, you can ask Mike, as a corroborative witness ... for concurring confirmation.

Incidentally, Mike is Jewish and NOT Italian.  I mention this, so that you will not think that I have an "Italians-only club."  In fact, my DNA is half-Irish and people have noticed the green in the eyes.  So, the pro-Italian prejudice isn't there.  However, the understanding of Italian Vengeance is there, and it's well perceived.

Plus, Michael Volpe is NOT Catholic.  This means that propagandist Bill Donohue of the one-man Catholic League can't accuse him of being a disgruntled-conservative-Catholic-right-wing-kook. Donohue is going to have to employ another ploy, to get the reading public to shun Mike Volpe.

Anyway, in his Vatican Signatura pleadings, Wuerl made it sound as if Anthony Cipolla were so immersed in suicidal tendencies that Wuerl had to dismiss him from all ministry.  Wuerl made the Saint Luke's diagnosis his justification.

In as much, tell me something.  Q:  What is deadly wrong with this picture painted by Wuerl and later by the press?

ANS:  If Donald Wuerl really did believe that Anthony Cipolla were severely suicidal, then he would have called the police and filed a "302" on Cipolla, thereby getting Cipolla involuntarily committed in a mental institution, on account of him "being a danger to himself."

Wuerl did not do so.  This means that Wuerl didn't think that Cipolla was suicidal.  Wuerl was merely looking for a scapegoat, so as to create a diversionary tactic which hid from the Public & the Police Donald Wuerl's true molesters ... who hadn't yet gotten arrested.

Plus, if Cipolla really were pathologically suicidal, then the police would have confirmed it, and Cipolla would have been taken to a mental institution without delay.   He was never committed into even a 3-day observation court order.

For those unaware, a 302 in Pennsylvania law is the 72 Hour Observation law.  It means that, when the police show cause, you are taken to a mental institution, and put under observation there for 72 hours, in order for the mental health professionals to assess your state of mental health.  If you turn out to be a danger to yourself, then you stay longer than three days.

The fact that Wuerl never filed a 302 on Cipolla proves that Wuerl didn't care about Cipolla's well-being and that Cipolla was NOT so severely mentally ill that he had to be removed from ministry.

Wuerl made sure that Cipolla would never return to diocesan ministry, because Wuerl was frightened of the John C Pettit who simultaneously indicted Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, while letting the public know that he did NOT appreciate the stone-walling and lack of cooperation from Wuerl's dioceses.

If Donald Wuerl would have put Cipolla back into ministry, due to Bendig's accusations, investigations in the plural would have simultaneously been commenced.  Wuerl's private life and the private life of his former boss, John Cardinal Wright, would have also been uncovered.  The investigators would have learned about John Hoehl, John Wellinger, and Edward Huff, as well as a handful of others.

If Wuerl didn't use Cipolla as a scapegoat, then Wuerl would not have reached the height of UNDESERVED power he attained, mostly with the help of the Nazi Pope, Joseph "Hitler Youth" Ratzinger.

I already stated in print that I saw Wuerl lie and intimidate his way to the top.  I mostly saw it in the eyes and facial expressions of those victimized by him.

August 23, 2026

The 1978 Cipolla Case, was a narration of malicious defamation, by media entities

In the event you're keeping score on the case which Donald Wuerl used as a diversionary tactic ... done in order to misdirect attention away from Wuerl's multiple & undisputed abusive priests ... the magistrate in charge of the Cipolla Case's Aug 28, 1978 Probable Cause Hearing was Stephen Laffey.  He was a local magistrate.  
 
In law, a magistrate is basically "a screener," to see if a case should continue onward or be dismissed.  A local magistrate can also serve as a motions judge, if need be.  In fact, a magistrate is a preliminary judge with a judge's power.  
 
That August 28th hearing was cancelled via Diane Thompson, herself, during a time when "charges" were NOT YET FILED, meaning that Diane Thompson IS A LIAR for claiming that her signature, written under duress according to her, "dropped criminal charges" against Cipolla.  
 
As a reminder for the seventh or eighth time, in every jurisdiction in the United States and in its 50 sovereign states, once criminal charges are filed against anyone, the only two persons who can "drop the charges" in every case are 1] either the prosecutor 2] and/or the judge, including a magistrate involved in the case.  
 
Thus, the whole newspaper narrative of the Drop-the-Charges Nightmare scenario of Diane Thompson, when she was unable-to-see-the-paper-she-was-signing-because-of-tears-in-the-eyes, it was theatrical bull crap.  When you have tears in your eyes and need to write something, what do you instinctively do?  ANS: You wipe them away with one hand and maybe even a Kleenex.  Then you sign your name.
 
Moreover, Hollywood repeatedly had movies which claimed that only the victim can file charges ... for dramatic effect and story-line flexibility only.  Well, a murdered man is incapable of filing criminal charges against his murderer.  Yet, numerous murder charges have been filed throughout American history.  Therefore, persons other than the victim have repeatedly filed criminal charges in the USA.
 
Well, in 1978, child molestation charges in the State of Pennsylvania had a TWO YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, and the US Constitution's Double Jeopardy Law was not in effect.  It wasn't in effect, because there was no jury verdict, or judge's directed verdict, or a bench trial judge's "finding."  

Diane Thompson most definitely could have pursued the case.  She had time, all the way until July 24, 1980.  If she wanted two counts of charges filed, then she had until June 30th, 1980, to have had an uncontested "timely" filing.  Thus, she had 22 months or approximately 660 days to get Cipolla in handcuffs, IF he actually did molest Tucker and/or Frank.

Even at that, there was no case in the first place, being that CIPPOLA WAS NOT ARRESTED in 1978 or ever.  He was NOT indicted.  The case literally didn't even begin.  Things were only at the investigation phase.

The big lie about this whole August 28, 1978
 
This has been held back from the public for years.  Not revealing it enabled numerous opinionated know-it-all types to make fools out of themselves, thereby showing them to be total frauds & fakes who don't know the first thing about the law.
 
Concerning that August 28, 1978 Probable Cause Hearing, Randy Engel made it sound as if Diane  Thompson absolutely had to be there, in order for the case to proceed.   Newsflash:  Diane Thompson was not an officer of the court.  Outside of being a witness to be questioned at the hearing, no private citizen is required to be at a Probable Cause Hearing.  
 
In 1978, IF and only if there were evidence against Cipolla already in existence, Diane Thompson had no need to attend the hearing.  Plus, if she had no evidence, then her attendance would have been a waste of time.


It was one big lie to have claimed that she was needed, in order to proceed with the prosecution of Cipolla.  That which was needed was the D.A. office's consent.  The person whose presence was needed was only the prosecutor.  If there were any damning evidence against Cipolla at all, then Cipolla would have been indicted, even with Diane Thompson absent.  
 
Now, there was that which the 12 year Frank Labiaux said to the sole detective assigned to the case.  In as much, if Frank Labiaux were going to be used as a witness, then the defense would have had the opportunity to cross-examine him and impeach his testimony.

Of course, the media claimed that the local government in 1978 shut down all possibility of prosecuting a priest claimed to have had DNA evidence against him.  

Of course, there was NO DNA EVIDENCE in the 1978 case.  Moreover, in 1978 it took over 7 weeks for any DNA test results to be produced.  In 1978, you did not get DNA results in three days, or even within 3 weeks.  

The DNA evidence claim of the 1978 case was yet another Diane Thompson lie.  After all, August 28th minus July 25th equals 34 days.  Even 49 days was too early for there to have been any DNA evidence, for the 1978 Probable Cause Hearing.

There was no $45 fee.  Diane Thompson lied ... as usual 

Furthermore, that was as blatant a lie as the time when Diane Thompson told Randy Engel that she had to laboriously raise, at great sacrifice, a $45 fee, for Frank Labiaux to go to the annual convention in Michigan, at the grounds of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.  Entrance was FREE.   

Firstly, it was vocations weekend and it was 100% for free, because it was designed to inspire young lads into seeking a priesthood vocation.  Therefore, Cipolla didn't go there to molest Tucker or Frank.  He went there to get the religious order to recruit young lads into a pre-seminary curriculum.  It was a typical recruiting weekend, and the cost of it was already in the religious order's budget.

Once again, in case I wasn't understood ... due to poor writing ...  Diane Thompson NEVER had to pay a $45 entrance free for any relative to go to the Michigan seminary recruit weekend.  She lied yet another time.  

You need to realize that Diane Thompson has proven herself to have been nothing but a wall-to-wall liar.  After all, she said that I didn't exist and that my name was a made-up name used by Anthony Cipolla.  She claimed that Cipolla was operating this site, while operating some kind of a child molestation ring.  

AND AND AND, the Number 1 Piece of Evidence which proves that Diane Thompson knew that she was lying all along, consisted in the fact that she never called the police on the guy operating this website, namely yours truly who is still operating it, ten years after Cipolla's violent death.  

If Diane Thompson really believed that this site was being run by a child molestation ring operator, she would have called someone in law enforcement to investigate.  This includes Pittsburgh Police, Pennsylvania State Police, the FBI, etc.  Being that she did NOT do so, it proves that she knew that she was lying to you ... and the vast majority of my viewers at the time believed Diane Thompson, showing how incredibly stupid were Americans in the 2010s.

BELOW:  Now remember, if you have money and you commit defamation against me in any way similar to the way that Diane Thompson did ... in costing me 90% of my viewers ... then I will sue you for millions and then go out of my way to have you criminally prosecuted ... in some novel construction prosecution ... unless you are in State where defamation is already a crime.  In one way or another I WILL put you out of business. 

Then again, Americans proved how stupid that were in the 2000s, in believing that small Iraq ... with a population no bigger than Hungary ... had amassed enough firepower to go Intercontinentally Ballistic.  Even though there were inspectors in Iraq assuring us the no Weapons of Mass Destruction were found, Americans believed the con game played by a Dick Cheney 

But of course, it has been ten years since Cipolla's death, and this site is still in operation.  Plus, out of MY DEBIT CARD came the yearly payment for me to use the www.donaldwuerl.com domain name & web address.  This proves 100% that Cipolla never ran this site and that Diane Thompson was lying all along.  

This also proved that Americans and even Mexicans were really really really stupid for believing Diane Thompson, back in 2015.  After all, shortly after she posted her defamatory accusation, I lost 90% of my weekly views.  I lost 90% of my viewers on all of my sites ... not just the Wuerl-of-Hurt site.

If you were one of those people who were conned by Thompson ... 

Now, if you were one of those people who instantly believed Diane Thompson and stopped viewing my sites, please write to me and tell why you were so gullible so as to have believed her.   

That 1978 Investigation ran at a lynch mob speed 

The investigation should have continued beyond August 1978, just to make sure that a molester didn't go free ... and just to make sure that the accusing mother wasn't a con artist who literally committed the crime of having filed a false police report.  

However, the sole detective of the case jumped the gun, in his fatal error of NOT corroborating a thing said by then-twelve-year old Frank Labiaux, in an interview with him.  

The detective's fatal error was in him assuming that every 12 year old male always tells the truth to the police.  Of course, junior high school teachers knew that 12 year old males certainly do lie to teachers.  So, why would they not lie to the police?  

 Moreover, a few 1980 cases showed us that there are mothers out there who most certainly did tell their children to lie to the police.

If Cipolla were actually guilty of any wrong-doing, a few more months of police investigation could have resulted in the discovery of actual evidence or corroborating points of circumstantial evidence ... or a newly emerging witness ... which could have warranted an indictment & arrest.  

If the Allegheny County DA's office were as corrupt as Diane Thompson claimed, then Diane Thompson could have brought-in the State Boys from Harrisburg for investigation purposes ... if and only if she were telling the truth and not playing a con game designed to quickly get apartment rent money, back in 1978.

Back to Original Motivation 

Concerning Wuerl as bishop, I simply wanted to be granted a church-approved Catholic action guild now called "an apostolate."  It would have been based on opposing ... and "giving awareness to" ... modern-day slave labor profiting which included foreign sweatshop labor profiting.  After all, it was causing a massive trade balance deficit for the United States, while literally costing about 5 million jobs.  
 
Even though the Defraudment of Laborers of their Wages is one of the Four Sins which Cry to Heaven for Vengeance, Wuerl did NOT care to come to the rescue of the down-trodden and unprotected.  He merely wanted to live his Marie Antoinette Lifestyle.  
 
In the midst of learning how heartless Wuerl was, concerning workers who provided a lot of merchandise to the USA as enslaved workers, I then learned of Torquato and found it to have been a moral obligation to have Wuerl learn of his sexual antics.  Torquato did not care about the plight of the slave-labor sweatshop workers.  He only cared about putting his hands where they should have not been.
 
Then came the retaliations, as well as intelligence-insulting propaganda ... and games played by police who should have been tossed out of their police departments.  
 
 
Now remember, I was NOT a follower of Anthony Cipolla.  After all, he didn't care about ending the nationwide scandal of foreign sweatshop labor profiteering.  So, he & I were in two drastically different worlds.  
 
Now, I acknowledge the miraculous power of Padre Pio, but life is a matter of Ora & Labora.  Cipolla only cared about the Ora part, in sacramental liturgy, without wanting to do the labora part of championing any cause dedicated to ending nationwide injustice.
 
It's just that a box of Cipolla documents was literally placed in front of me to take with me and review.  Of course, I was chosen to do the reviewing, because I was the one caught in the middle of the Torquato Retaliations that Wuerl could have stopped instantly, but let continue until I was destroyed.  Thus, I personally knew how vicious & unjust Wuerl was.  
 
Yet, I originally assumed that Anthony Cipolla was as guilty as sin ... because Ann Rodgers Melnick and the Post Gazette said he was.  That box of docs was followed by my realizing that everything "Ann Rodger-Melnick" and similar de fact propagandists wrote about the Cipolla Case was completely non-factual.  
 
The newspaper reports were so non-factual that the first response which came to mind, after viewing the doc box was:  "Is this a trick question?"  
 
The entire newspaper reports were askew from the documentation.  Then came witnesses who knew Tim Bendig and Cipolla ... and who went to at least one of the yearly Michigan vocation weekend events, where no one had to pay any $45 entrance fee, as Diane Thompson FALSELY claimed.  
 
It then inspired the second reflex action which consisted in any document reviewer thinking to himself, in the privacy of his own thoughts:  "You've got to be kidding.  This Anthony Cipolla horror story is a farce."  In as much, if you're gonna condemn someone and string him out, to die, then you better condemn him for the correct reason.
 
Now, I spoke with Cipolla over the phone many a time.  I originally did so, trying to get a confession out of him.  Then, after having done the necessary fact-checking, I found that the Cipolla horror story was one sick joke. 

August 22, 2026

The 2016 article's claim that Cipolla's assignment record proved him a molester

 Well actually, the opposite is true.  Firstly, absorb into your mind the following:

Below is Anthony Cipolla's Assignment Record.  In as much, where on it does it say "medical leave" and then "hospital chaplain?"

Toward the end of his vocation, he was positioning himself to do the Padre Pio Prayer Group work which is much like missionary work.  

Plus, New Brighton PA ... where the McGuire Home is located ... was the town next to one where he was raised.  

Would a bishop assign a molester priest to a place where numerous families and people knew him?  Or would a bishop place a molester in a place where he was basically unknown to the people there?  

Or is it that you claim that he was going around McGuire Home, molesting the afflicted children there, many of whom had around-the-clock monitors, nurses, and assistants?  

Concerning hospital chaplaincy, it was known as Doghouse Work.  It was assigned to people in the proverbial doghouse with the bishop.  If you were a molester and assigned to a hospital, that place was too public a place for you to go around molesting children.  So, concerning Cipolla, while at the McGuire Home ...

... do you believe that he snuck into a room here and into a room there, molesting someone and then sneaking-off, under the watch of medical employees, desk attendants, and security guards?  

Or did he sneak out one child after the other, molesting each one in his private quarters, and then bringing each one back to the home without any employee, security guard, nurse, visiting parent, security camera, or administrator noticing it?  In fact, were there any security cameras there?

Hey, maybe he was molesting the nurses, security guards, and guy who did the maintenance work on the cameras, too.  Or was he paying them, to let him sneak-in and molest the children? 

If so, then are you claiming that all of the McGuire Home employees went five years without ever noticing adult semen on the sheets of the children, on the clothes of the children, and even the floor or on a chair or two.  Or did he pay them not to notice?  Well, maybe they didn't notice, because there was nothing there to notice.  

No matter what, Tim Bendig, is a LIAR, and I witnessed it myself, from Bendig's own mouth.  Concerning Bendig, Cipolla described him as the Tom Sawyer Type, long before the event where Bendig had me fooled about Cipolla and then rattled off four lies in a row that only the reader of the Cipolla docs would know were lies.  

 
Concerning Tim Bendig being a con artist & liar, some people found-out the hard way.

August 21, 2026

Perhaps we should cover one Randy Engel LIE against Anthony Cipolla at a time

 

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, in a five-year period.  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 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.  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, as a cover-up, over and over again.  This is why multi-million dollar defamation lawsuits exist.  

In her claiming that it was "unusual" for a newly ordained priest to be frequently shifted from parish to parish, 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.  

Newly ordained priests of a religious order were limited to the parishes run by that religious order, as well as the affiliated 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: 

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 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.  

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!!!!
 
Therefore, according to Randy Engel and her "good good New Jersey friend," the police were engaged in the cover-up of a molester priest, making the police accomplices in molestation.  To normal people, however, the police were acknowledging 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, he requested a transfer.  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.  She 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.  I personally thought that this was the stupidest thing Cipolla ever did, and in the end it would come to cost him everything.  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.  The testing thereof never occurred in hospitals.  It occurred at an NIH lab, in 1978. 

2] ... was 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.  

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. 

None the less, the list of four people in the center of the case report below are all PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY, and not sex groupies.  The names of authorities include Tom Hamill.  So, Randy Engel's good good New Jersey friend got it entirely wrong.  Her New Jersey friend should be sued for defamation, at a very high price.  That defamation is still online.  The statue of limitations have not run-out.

Such a thing would have ended Cipolla's nightmare and would have began a new nightmare for the ever-so-nightmaric Donald Wuerl who actually supported the sacrilege of Dignity Masses, where a certain mortal sin was honored as a holy act of God.  

Meanwhile, it's a sin that 87% of American males have no interest in committing, and this comprises about 55 million adult males born in the USA who don't care about honoring the Dignity Masses Wuerl made sure to operate in the Pittsburgh Diocese. 

 None the less, Anthony Cipolla also ... 

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.  And remember, I'm the one who authored briefs that were filed at the United States Supreme;  NOT Randy Engel.

In continuing, Cipolla also ... 

4] ... Had dozens of character witnesses lined-up to testify at the Tim Bendig lawsuit trial which Wuerl made sure would never happen, by giving 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, during a time when she was hard-up for apartment rent money. 

 6]  ... Had no one else accuse him of molestation, even though he had youth groups dating back to 1972, proving that he was no serial molester.

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 and knowing that I exist, 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 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.  

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 never arrested in 1978.  And he 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.

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.

The Cipolla Case still has its doubts.  But, it is certain that he was not the Son of Satan whom Randy Engel made him out to be. 

Then came the 2016 article which concentrated the lies in one spot.  Those accusations were posted online before they were posted at its final November 30th, 2016 destination.  I see it in detail months before November 2016.

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 this about Cipolla.  

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 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.  

In the end, the New Jersey conspiracy theory woman merely didn't avoid all Catholic schools.  She left the 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 did and what Diane Thompson did ... and if you have money ... 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, preceded by 1992 and then March 1995 to September 2001.  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, etc.  

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

 
  
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 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 them were ridiculously embarrassing ones too.  This included the alleged 1965 special forces accident at a Spartanburg military base that closed-down in 1947, eighteen years prior.

The Next Engel LIE: A 1965 life-changing special forces training accident at a Spartanburg base which closed in 1947

Above: Cardinal Donald William Wuerl's former Warwick Terrace home

Then came the LIE of a 1965 Special Forces training collision & explosion involving Diane Thompson's husband, at a Spartanburg South Carolina military base  ...

                          ...  which completely ceased operations in 1947. 

According to Mrs Randy Engel, some sort of husband of Diane Thompson underwent a special forces training accident that involved a vehicle collision & "an explosion," during 1965, at a military base in Spartanburg, South Carolina.  
 
That 1965 Spartanburg South Carolina military base accident was said to have been the cue ball which caused Diane Thompson ... the 1978 accuser of Anthony Cipolla ... to be forced to fend for herself as a single mother, in the era of food stamps, welfare checks, and federally funded HUD housing.  
 
The special forces training accident made Diane Thompson look like a harrowed victim of circumstances.  It then made Cipolla look like a monster taking advantage of a harrowed victim of circumstances.  
 
Now, 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.  Randy described the Spartanburg vehicle crash & explosion as such:
                          ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The Definitive Responses to Engel's Assertion go as follows:
 
That Spartanburg South Carolina military base actually CLOSED IN 1946, one year after the end of WWII.  It was then officially disbanded in 1947.  It was called, Camp Croft, and there was no Vietnam-era training there.  The place was a tourist sight in 1965.
 
Moreover, Spartanburg is NOT anywhere near the Atlantic Coastline.  It's very inland, toward the northern border of the State, near Greenville. 
 
Perhaps Diane Thompson meant to say, North Carolina base, instead of South Carolina.  Well, the special forces training center in Camp Mackall, 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.  
 
This means that you can be assured that Randy Engel's Special Forces Crash & Explosion narration was a deliberate lie, designed to make you "feel sorry" for Diane Thompson and hate Anthony Cipolla all the more.   
 
That statement which was easily proven false 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  he and I read that 2016 article.  We read before the Renew America publishing date.  Randy Engel's 2016 three-part article was a murder weapon designed to permanently destroy a heart-surgery patient who was not given the opportunity to defend himself ... even though TWO DA offices cleared Cipolla of all of the accusations of a Tim Bendig who turned out to be quite the con artist, from my own personal experience ... and even though Cipolla was NEVER ARRESTED for any crime and never put on trial for any crime, including molestation.
 
Below:  Look and see what LIARS Randy Engel & Diane Thompson have been, in the claim that a "second husband" ... or the father of the second son of Diane Thompson .... was heroically serving his country, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where there was no military base in operation.          
 ★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 
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 is that there was the 5th Special Forces stationed there and the 10th Special Forces Psychological Warfare unit, also.  However, 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 ... or father of Diane Thompson's second child ... involved in any 1965 special forces training in either one 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.  Thus, there was no way in which 10th Special Forces training resulted in any vehicle crash & explosion.
 
Moreover, there as sure as Hell was no 10th Special Forces training in Spartanburg, South Carolina, in 1965 or ever.
 
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.
