Wuerl::: FIVE cover-ups & THREE criminal indictments in opening year of Pittsburgh Tenure. One fled to Wheeling West Virginia and the other to Cuba

Stanwix & Blvd of the Allies, Pittsburgh Diocesan property, Part 1. 
Behind it is the Glass Castle & the PPG Plaza.
NOW REMEMBER:  The point to this Wuerl-of-Hurt site was to 
inform you that the cult-of-personality, super-hero propaganda pub-
lished about Donald Wuerl was a continuum of falsehoods --- that 
Wuerl's image was a Stalin-like abuse of power & privilege.  Then
came the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report, twelve years after 
my first reporting of Wuerl's corruption.  If it had come twelve yrs
sooner, this site would have been unnecessary.

This site was meant to keep you from being deceived into thinking 
that you had to follow Wuerl, in his violations of Catholic Moral 
Theology and in him writing-off pivotal element of 2,000 year old 
unchangeable Church doctrine which literally traces itself back to 
Peter & Paul.

This site was set forth, to level the playing field ... to equalize ... to 
free you from the hypnotic trance that media proponents held on you.  

Let's review:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The quickest summary is that the FIVE priests COVERED-UP by Wuerl,
in his first year as bishop of Pittsburgh were ======>

FATHERS:

1} John Hoehl whom Donald Wuerl personally reinstated into ministry
and kept in ministry, even after the so-called "enlightening" dinner that
Wuerl had with the family of two lads molested by the three priests men-
tioned below.

Wuerl reinstated Hoehl and kept him in chaplaincy ministry until the in-
dictments of Frs. Wolk, Zula, and Pucci.  Then, Wuerl dropped Hoehl like 
a very hot potato.  If Wuerl were to have kept Hoehl in ministry --- Wuerl 
would have been inviting a grand jury inquest.  Twenty-eight years later,
that Grand Jury was finally convened.

2} Robert Wolk (ordained the same year as was Wuerl, thereby indicat-
ing that he was Wuerl's classmate.)  Ann Rodgers falsely claimed that 
Wolk was removed "just as Wuerl became bishop."  The truth is that 
Anthony Bevilacqua placed Wolk on administrative leave, long before 
Wuerl replaced Bevilacqua.  Donald Wuerl was positioning  to reinstate
Wolk, as he already reinstated Hoehl.

3} Richard "Sade" Zula who did practice Sadism on at least one male 
youth,   This was the only known priest Wuerl was NOT going to re-
instate into any type of ministry.  Now, Wuerl has been proven to be 
unjust and vicious, but he drew a line in the proverbial sand when it
came to Sadism.  Wuerl hid the knowledge of Zula's crimes from law
enforcement, despite the Child Protective Services Act.  He simply 
let Zula go about his life.  When it came time for DA John C. Pettit
of Washington County PA to process Zula's indictment, no one at
the Diocese of Pittsburgh knew where Zula was ... so they claimed.

4} Fr. Francis Pucci who was not laicized or removed from ministry.  
Rather, he was allowed to conduct the Mass and perhaps Divine Office 
with a religious order of sisters.  Pucci was indicted, but his indictment 
was dismissed on the statute of limitations defense.  Therefore,  Pucci 
remained on the diocesan payroll.  In fact, even the criminal convict, 
Richard Dorsch, was on the payroll, after his conviction.  In Catholic
Canon Law, even criminal priests, after prison time, must be financial-
ly supported by their bishops.  A bishop does NOT have to reassign
a criminal priest who completed a jail sentence.  But, he does have
to sustain such a priest.

5} George Zirwas, accomplice of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci.  Was not in-
dicted with them.  He found his way to Cuba, after a number of sex-
ual aggression accusations were made against him.  While in Cuba,
he informed Wuerl that he knew of criminal priests in Wuerl's dio-
ceses and that he (Zirwas) was willing to keep silent about it for a 
price.  Wuerl informed Zirwas that he was to either send the names 
of the priests or a letter categorically stating that he (Zirwas) knew
of no criminal conduct among Pittsburgh priests.  Zirwas sent the
Sgt Shultz I-Know_Nothing letter.  After that letter was received
by Wuerl, Wuerl gave Zirwas a bonus.

Zirwas lead the Sodom & Gomorrah lifestyle in Cuba to the extreme.
He was killed by a male prostitute who injected animal tranquilizer
into his neck.  In response, Wuerl officiated him at his funeral and
reinstated Zirwas to the level of full clerical investiture, all while
giving Zirwas a saint's eugoly, even though Zirwas died while en-
gaged in mortal sin up and until the point of time when Zirwas re-
ceived his lethal injection.
_________________________________________________________

The two lawsuits involved 1} former Catholic school headmaster John 
Hoehl as co-defendant; 2} the two brothers abused (at different times)
by Wolk, Zula, and Pucci as members of the plaintiff family.  Only one
of the two brothers was an altar boy, incidentally.  Let us proceed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ann Rodgers"-Melnick" was a Pittsburgh Post Gazette writer originally 
from California.  Before going to Pittsburgh she worked in the South-
western sector of  Florida were major leaguers do their baseball Spring 
Training.  Even though She was never a Roman Catholic (or any other 
rite of Catholicism,) she was given the post of Pittsburgh Roman Catho-
lic Diocese director  for Communications, as if no Catholic on Earth is 
good enough for the job.

Rodgers fully knew about the James Torquato Retaliations and remained
silent about them.  In fact, during the infamous 2002 media rampage on 
clergy sex abuse, she wrote that  as far back as Wuerl's very first year as 
bishop of Pittsburgh, he announced a  Zero Tolerance Policy, where no 
priest accused of sexually abusing a minor could ever go back into min-
istry.  That was a complete falsehood, supported by the evidence of him 
returning to ministry Frs. John Hoehl and Edward Huff, as well as Ernest
Paone who Wuerl willingly transferred to California and then Las Vegas.

Concerning her proven lies, the first one which was detected was her claim
that the tiny Donald Wuerl was an ascetic 5'11".  The truth is that Wuerl is as 
short in height as was the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua --- between 5'4 
to 5'6".  Concerning this, I received a polite phone call from Washington stat-
ing that Wuerl stands 5'9" to 5'10".  Yes --- with elevator shoes, he does.  

Being that I was in Pittsburgh during Wuerl's tenure, and being that he walked 
up to me, I do know that he is tiny.  He did NOT wear elevator shoes while in
Pittsburgh.  Others who met him also told me that he stood 5'4" to 5'5".  One
person described Wuerl as "scrawny."   A very polite 5'4" woman said to me
that Wuerl and her stood "head to head," meaning at the same height.

I know of Wuerl's height and Bevilacqua's height from a point-blank range
personal experience (in a public forum.).  In fact, I was surprised to find out
how tiny Wuerl was as he approached me, once upon a time.  This is because
he was made out to be this superior godlike man of masculine stature.  The
Donald Wuerl who approached me was exactly like a certain flaming homo-
sexual theater major who would occasionally buzz around our click and take
with him one of the guys, the son of a certain lieutenant governor's son; not
from Pennsylvania and not from any State that borders on Pennsylvania.

The bottom line is that you cannot instantly trust as true anything written by 
Ann Rodgers.  But, for the most part, Rodgers used sleight of hand semantics,
(as opposed to outright lying) in her deceiving of the common man & woman
via the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

We adjourn to the original article:




Donald Wuerl was installed bishop of Pittsburgh on February 12, 1988.  It only
took eight months thereafter for the Diocese of Pittsburgh to become one of the  
first dioceses in America to be 'scathed' in what was to become a nationwide 
Watergate of perversity.  Wuerl was caught performing a triple cover-up, and
the practice of sadomasochism was one of the acts which transpired within a
trio of clergy members whom Wuerl unsuccessfully concealed from law en-
forcement authorities.  Incidentally, Pgh is the abbreviation of Pittsburgh

Always keep in mind that the only reason why Wuerl was one of the first bish-
ops to announce a zero tolerance policy was because he was one of the very first
of American bishops caught red-handed in performing multiple and simultaneous 
cover-ups which included John Hoehl as Wuerl's fourth simultaneous cover-up.

Wuerl expressly put Hoehl back into ministry and immediately took Hoehl out
of the ministry line-up after DA John C. Pettit publicly announced that Wuerl
and his personnel were uncooperative during the criminal investigation which
resulted in the indictments of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci.

In as much, Wuerl had to put on airs and display a very fake facade, in announc-
ing a zero tolerance policy which he did NOT observe in his subsequent cover-up
of Frs. Edward Huff and James Torquato.  Wuerl is a liar by his actions.  Such
as a person known as a hypocrite.  Wuerl also chooses which Catholic doctrine
to observe and which one to violate.  Such a person is known as a heretic.

Concerning Wolk, Zula, and Pucci:

A member of the criminal trio was an assistant chancellor of Wuerl's diocese, as 
well as a canon lawyer.  This factor alone showed motive for proceeding with an 
intentional cover-up.  In fact, Wuerl vehemently defended his cover-up of Wolk,
in news print, claimed that the cover-up wasn't a cover-up.  Wuerl has been a liar
from the beginning.

The Sex Abuse Casualties


The casualties were two altar boys of the same family.  They were brothers. The 
years of molestation occurred from 1981 to 1987.  In addition to the three indict-
ed priests, there was a fourth alleged assailant reported to one of the three prose-
cuting district attorneys.  He was a layman.  Furthermore, there was a fourth dio-
cesan priest implicated, but only in his capacity as a probable accomplice; as a 
silent person who reported nothing to anyone.

Concerning this priest, he either allowed criminal conduct to transpire in a ski 

lodge suite where he was staying or else he was clueless to what was transpir-
ing there.  Nothing was established other than he was at the scene of the crime, 
going into his room, while a criminal priest was taking his altar boy into anoth-
er one.  

This fourth Pittsburgh diocesan priest, incidentally, was strangled to  death in 
Havana Cuba in 2001, after having been on administrative leave since 1996.  
A source informed me that Wuerl, himself, officiated as his funeral ... so stat-
ed the source.

While in Cuba, this priest was openly homosexual and was said to have "helped 

his visiting friends find sexual partners while they stayed in Havana."  He was 
the tragic Fr. George Zirwas, and at this point in the narration you should be at
the first stage in realizing that Lord Byron was more correct than he was mistak-
en when he stated that the truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.

Wuerl's unholy trinity


The indicted priests were Robert Wolk, Francis Pucci, and Richard "Sade" Zula.   

Wolk was the assistant chancellor and Zula was nicknamed after the Marquis de 
Sade.  All three priests were charged and arraigned in Washington County, PA.  
It's a county which touches the southwestern border of the Allegheny County 
where within sits Pittsburgh.  

Furthermore, Richard Zula was also arraigned east of Pittsburgh, in Somerset 
County.  Robert Wolk was indicted in Allegheny County, as well as in Wash-
ington County.   In fact, he was the first one to surrender himself to the police.  
Incidentally, the Diocese of Pittsburgh comprises the six most Southwestern 
counties of Pennsylvania.  Pennsylvania, at last count, has sixty-seven counties.

The front page of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette's November 11 edition of that

year gives light on how involved the criminal investigation was:  

        "Moreover, authorities said their investigation had uncovered
          evidence of similar offenses involving one of the priests that
          occurred elsewhere in southwestern Pennsylvania and Florida,
         Ohio, Virginia, and Canada.  Authorities in the jurisdictions
         have been contacted."


This shows that the matter was not taken lightly by law enforcement officials. 
 
In fact, the district attorney of Washington County prophetically stated,  "We  
would be sticking our heads in the sand to believe these are the only three 
cases."

Zula had 138 criminal counts filed against him in Washington Coun
ty, alone. 
However, a plea bargain reduced the counts to only two.   In sequence, Zula 
also plead guilty in Somerset County.  Now, as far as went Wolk, he plead 
guilty in Allegheny and Washington counties. 

Pucci's case, on the other hand, was dismissed due to the two year statute
of
limitations expiring on two types of criminal charges.   It expired approximate-
ly four months prior to his indictment.   He was indicted under the assumption 
that the time-keeping for the two year limit had frozen during the time Pucci 
was outside of Pennsylvania, in a Maryland psychiatric facility.  None the less,
conspiracy charges remained open for Pucci, and that particular crime had a 
five year limitation.   Despite this, Pucci's case was eventually dismissed.

Take note that, during the nationwide sex abuse scandal, priest after abusive

priest was sent to a psychiatric facility, as if each one were an unaccountable
victim of mental illness.  Now, there is a difference between mental illness
and sin.   If a person is insane, then he is without malice in a materially harm-
ful act, even though each member of society has the right to be made safe from
such a harmful person.   However, deception and manipulation, as much as
scheming and concealing, were committed by priest after abusive priest, and

such acts are elements of malice; not mental illness. 

In addition, these priests were described as having "compulsions" that required 
psychiatric treatment.  In the Catholic vernacular, such compulsions are known 
as temptations.

Wuerl and His Personnel:  Uncooperative During the 1988 Investigation

The Washington County district attorney announced that Wuerl's diocese en-

gaged in "foot dragging" throughout the criminal investigation.   The DA was
either irked or incensed by the Pittsburgh diocese's lack of cooperation, call-
ing it "minimal at best."   His quote on the topic goes as follows: "It was not
the spirit of cooperation we would like to see."  Of course,  "foot dragging"
is a polite way of saying "stonewalling" which, in turn, is a polite way of say-

ing "a step away from obstruction of justice charges."

Wuerl had pushed his luck to the limit.  Being that he was caught performing

a triple cover-up, and being that he was accused of having impeded a crimi-
nal investigation via stonewalling, he had no other choice than to strike the
pose of a strict disciplinarian.  This shows that Wuerl was not not not the
caring and concerned bishop that he was made out to be by the 21st Century
media.  Rather, he was a chameleon, looking out for himself.  He changed
colors according to the changes in the political climate.  In fact, he original-
ly presented himself as a "liberal."  He was then paraded around as a "con-
servative."  Wuerl has shown himself to be out for himself.  The following
mainstream media newspaper links provide the evidence:

Donald Wuerl: A Coast to Coast Disgrace

News of Wuerl's triple cover-up made its way from coast to coast, via:

- the New York Times,          - the Saint Petersburg Times,
- the Philadelphia Inquirer,     - the Philadelphia Daily News,
- the Cleveland Plain Dealer,   - the Pittsburgh Post Gazette,
- Maine's Lewiston Daily Sun,    - the San Jose Mercury News,     
- Pennsylvania's Reading Eagle,   -  the San Antonio Express-News,
- California's Lodi News-Sentinel,   - the now defunct Pittsburgh Press,   
- Northwestern Ohio's Bryan Times,    - Oregon's Eugene Register-Guard,
- New Hampshire's Nashua Telegraph,  - South Carolina's Rock Hill Herald.
From as far west as California's San Andreas Fault line, to as far east as the
New York metro area, Donald William Wuerl became an early chapter in the
Vatican II church's sex abuse history.  From as far south as the Florida Gulf
Coast, to as far north as Maine, Wuerl's diocese had already proven itself to
be what best selling author Malachi Martin would later say it was"... one
of the most pathetic dioceses in the United States."

Proof that Wuerl ignored the Child Protective Services Act ... in his cover-up of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, not to mention Zirwas, Hoehl, Paone, O'Malley, & Huff

Keep in mind that the Donald Wuerl who retaliated against the children of 
Risen Lord Parish, on account of their parents protesting against Wuerl on
TV, was praised as a loving and caring man who only cared about the wel-
fare of children.  Evidence proves that the picture of Wuerl-the-fatherly-
protector was a complete lie.  In fact, below is a photocopy of the evi-
dence that Wuerl only cared about himself.

A photocopy of a newspaper article reporting Phase I of Wuerl's uncovered
Triple Cover-up at the time it was uncovered is posted several paragraphs
below here.  Be patient and scroll down to it, so that you will learn how
dishonest Wuerl's propaganda machine always was and is.

This, alone, proves that Wuerl was not the caring and protective bishop that
his embedded propagandist, Ann Rodgers, (formerly of the Pgh Post Gazette)
made him out to be.  Tiny Donald Wuerl ... the Elevator Shoes Kid ... is one
big lie.  I personally learned of Wuerl's ruthlessness and manipulative modus
operandi during both phrases of the James Torquato Retaliations.  To this day,
Wuerl was NEVER man enough to have apologized for those whistleblower
retaliations.

Plus, if Wuerl ... or his then-diocese ... would have been indicted & convicted
for the offense of having concealed Frs. Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, it (or Wuerl)
would have convicted of nothing more than a Summary Offense, in having
violated the Child Services Protection Act.   This means that he ... or his then-
diocese ... would have been required to do no more than pay a fine.  However,
this would have made Wuerl look bad on record, during Vatican paper-reviews.
He probably wouldn't have become a cardinal,  if he or his then-diocese would
have been found guilty of violating the Child's Protective Services Act.

Contradiction Time:  
Wuerl was made out to be a non-compromising disciplinarian, 
but after the Wolk indictiment ... the opposite was illustrated.

"To say he will not be reassigned is a devastating thing," said Wuerl to the
press shortly after he was caught performing his triple cover-up which was
headlined with Father Robert Wolk's indictment.  The same Donald Wuerl
also said to the media, "It is NOT covering up to embrace man who is
suffering."  Yet, Ann Rodgers, (formerly known as Rodgers-Melnick) of
the Pittsburgh Post Gazette had the audacity to deceive the public into be-
lieving Wuerl to be the bishop of zero tolerance that he never was.


Add to this the fact that Wuerl already reassigned the notorious John Hoehl
months prior.  Wuerl had no intention of getting rid of Hoehl until the indict-
ment of Wolk.  Yet, the pathologically bland Ann Rodgers had the audacity
to make it look as if Wuerl were the instant disciplinarian from Day 1.  You
now see how far away from zero tolerance Wuerl was.  After all, he made a
criminal sound like a victim.  You can now also see how much of a liar was
Ann Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.  You need to keep in mind that
a faction who praises Wuerl seeks to have him to get the 2,000 year old Ro-
man Catholic Church to declare the repeatedly condemned Sin of Sodom
a holy act of God.  Apparently, such people have strong stomaches.

Now, in the Year 2002, when Donald W. Wuerl was being made out to be
the holiest male on Earth --- next to the molester Marcial Maciel who was
also lauded as a saint --- would you have been praising Wuerl if you knew
about his triple cover-up?  Would writers have been calling that fraud "one
of the good guys, if you they knew about DA John C. Pettit announcing to
the press that Wuerl was uncooperative during the investigation which re-
sulted in the indictments of Wolk, Richard "Sade" Zula, and Francis Pucci?

Would he have been made the Master of Ceremonies in a St. Patrick's Day
parade, if Pittsburghers knew about Wuerl's public excuse for covering-up
the crimes of three of his priests, followed by Wuerl publicly denying that
it was the act of covering-up at all?   Or would you have categorized him
with Bernard Law & Roger Mahoney?

Would you have been praising Wuerl that year, if Ann Rodgers and the
Pgh Post Gazette were honest enough to report on the James Torquato
case?  It's the case of a former personal secretary of Wuerl spending con-
secutive years not keeping his hands to himself and then retaliating the
moment he was reported.  You know, the Torquato case has dozens of
pieces of evidence attached to it.  It is the single most evidence support-
ed cover-up of Donald Wuerl.

Wuerl was headlined as the bishop who fought the Vatican to remove  "a
molester priest," when the fact is that he only attempted to have the priest
removed from ministry for what was later called a misdiagnosis of Depress-
ion and Suicidal Tendencies.  The priest was never arrested, yet Wuerl let
the papers claim that the priest was.  In fact, that priest, Anthony Cipolla,
received a favorable Pennsylvania State Police background check security
clearance in the Summer of 2014, where within it was stated that Cipolla
has NO ARREST RECORD in the State of Pennsylvania.  For those of
you who are brain dead, Cipolla's 2014 security clearance of a huge deal.

This triple cover-up also shows Wuerl's motive in letting Anthony Cipolla
be the public scapegoat whose reputation was completely annihilated, de-
spite the overwhelming evidence of Cipolla being the opposite of the media
smear campaign launched against him.  You see, DA John C. Pettit publicly
stated, (and I am going by memory on this quote, meaning that it is to be re-
garded as paraphrased:  "I don't want to make this look like a witch hunt, but
we would be sticking our heads in the sands to think that this is an isolated
incident."  This meant that there would be more investigating . . . there was
to be more "snooping around," "looking around," "scrutinizing."  So, Wuerl
needed a diversionary tactic, to pursuade the law enforcement personnel in
more than one sovereign state involved to be deceived into thinking that
Wuerl was a staunch "zero tolerance" leader.  Wuerl was proven to be
no such person.

Wuerl was in a law enforcement spotlight.  This meant that Wuerl needed
a smokescreen, to deceive the public into thinking that he was a holy and
all so caring saint.   Wuerl did nothing more than masquerade himself as
an angel of light, at the expense of others such as an Anthony Cipolla who,
unlike the effeminate Donald Wuerl, was found to have zero nexus with the
homosexual subculture.  Wuerl, on the other hand, had a definitive nexus
with the neo-Sodomite world.


The newspaper jpegs above prove that the slightly built Donald Wuerl
thrived on a propaganda machine filled with sleight of hand deceptions
and direct falsehoods.

In addition, don't forget that he rode the coattails of John Cardinal Wright,
and without the help of the allegedly homosexual John Wright, the Donald
Wuerl who accommodated banned Dignity Masses for eight consecutive
years would have been nothing.

It was the court system that prompted Wuerl to strike the pose of a strict
disciplinarian.  It was all a fraud to have claimed that Wuerl would come
to the rescue of the victims of predatory priests such as the Edward Huff
whom he kept hiding out in mental institutions and the Father James Tor-
quato whom he sent to Rome while federal court papers had Torquato's
name mentioned throughout them.  Wuerl's artificial pose did not occur
until three simultaneous indictments of three Pittsburgh priests occured
under Wuerl's watch, coupled with a DA John Pettit's public accusation
that Wuerl's diocese performed uncooperative conduct with police inves-
tigators.

Keep in mind that there was no criminal investigation of Wolk, Zula,
and Pucci until an attorney friend-of-the-family of the two young play
toys reported the matter to the police.  The attorney did not do so until
after Wuerl visited the family. Despite visiting the family, Wuerl still
refused to report Wolk, Zula, and Pucci to the police, as was required
in the Child Protective Services Act.  Now you can see more clearly
that everything about Wuerl is either an outright lie and or sleight of
hand deception.

In addition, Wuerl only went to the home of the traumatized family af-
ter their parish pastor was told by them that they were going to report
the three molester priests to law enforcement authorities.  The pastor
then informed Wuerl.

Do not be deceived.  Ann Rodgers made it sound as if Wuerl were a
strict disciplinarian who ousted Hoehl, as soon as he learned of him.
No, Wuerl placed Hoehl into chaplaincy ministry, as he did with Huff.
Wuerl did NOT read Hoehl the riot act until Wolk, Zula, and Pucci
were criminally indicted.  Then, Hoehl became a hot potato.  Wuerl
got rid of Hoehl, so that Wuerl would not get into trouble.  There was
no loving and caring bishop involved.  I tell you solemnly, Wuerl was
absolutely vicious and heartless while in Pittsburgh.  He was the per-
sonification of lies and retaliation.

As a  review, so that it will be clearly understood:

Now, Pgh Post Gazette reporter Ann Rodgers claimed that Wuerl had
an epiphany while visiting the traumatized family and then became the
"model of zero tolerance" thereafter.  This claim is easily proven false
by the fact that District Attorney John Pettit publicly announced that
Wuerl's then Diocese of Pittsburgh did NOT provide the cooperation
that the district attorney sought during the criminal investigation.  It
was a criminal investigation which didn't commence until someone
other than Wuerl notified the police.

If Donald Wuerl were the model of zero tolerance, he would have been
the one who reported Wolk, Zula, and Pucci.  Plus, Wuerl would NOT
have allowed the 'foot dragging' that a Western Pennsylvanian DA said
was being committed by Wuerl's diocese.  Neither would Wuerl have
reinstated Hoehl and Huff.  That which was told to you by former
Post Gazette writer, Ann Rodgers, and FoxNews are proven false-
hoods.

Wuerl's change-the-subject letter, after a priest's criminal indictment

     The change-the-subject letter below was the one that Donald Wuerl wrote
     shortly after he was caught performing his Triple Cover-up.  Actually, it
     was the result of the Wolk indictment.  Wolk was the first of the three di-
     ocesan priests to get indicted during the end of Wuerl's first year as local
     ordinary of the RC Diocese of Pittsburgh.  Another word for local ordi-
     nary is "bishop."

      Wuerl stated that there was so much to do that Pittsburgh didn't have time
      to think about his then-diocese having become one of the first dioceses to
      be scathed in what was to become a coast to coast Watergate of perversity.

      Wuerl was not clever in his evils.  He was a sophomoric writer, especial-
      ly when comparing him to the laureates with whom I was published in a
      couple literary anthologies.  He simply had a propaganda machine and a
      few in-the-pocket politicians who cow-towed to him, on account of the
      fear that not doing so would offend Pittsburgh's Catholic voters.  They
      didn't accept the fact that the devout Catholics of Pittsburgh saw Don-
      ald Wuerl as the enemy.

      Proof that the devout Catholics of Pittsburgh saw Wuerl as the enemy
      consisted in the amount of lawsuits filed against Wuerl, as well as com-
      plaints sent to Rome against Wuerl ....... not to mention the complaints
      against Wuerl leveled to the U.S. Papal Nuncio's office in Washington
      DC, as recently as the Year 2015.  The most common nickname for
      Wuerl, while he was in Pittsburgh, was Whirlybird.  This goes to
      show that Wuerl was widely disrespected by any layman and lay-
      woman who had any dealings with him.  He was a vicious brat.

      Know this:  While in Pittsburgh Wuerl was either 1) feared, be-
      cause of his ability to abuse his power and retaliated against you,
      or 2) jresented, because of his ability to abuse his power and re-
      taliate against you.
 Keep in mind that Cardinal Wuerl rose to power by riding John Cardinal Wright's
coat tails.  If Wuerl weren't Wright's long-term secretary, then Wuerl would have
been a nobody in terms of power and influence.

      If Wuerl didn't ride Cardinal Wright's coat tails, Pittsburgh would have many
      more Catholic parishes and priests than it has today.  Pittsburgh wouldn't have
      been the last city to end the heretical Dignity Masses which can be described
      as Sodom & Gomorrah Masses.

In addition, the deacon whistle blower (previously reported at Wuerlgate) would
have been a priest at this hour, and chances are that James Torquato would never
have been made a parish pastor.

    In addition, Catholic Church property would not have gotten into masonic hands.
   Tim Bendig would be a no-name.  More importantly, sweatshop labor profiteering
   would not have been ignored in Pittsburgh, especially in light of the fact that it was
   a city famous for championing worker's rights.

September 26, 2023

Wuerl kept the notorious Father Hoehl in ministry, even after the "life-changing epiphany" dinner proclaimed by Propagandist Ann Rodgers.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Cardinal Donald Wuerl's web of corruption was spun,
with the help the Ann Rodgers who was repeatedly caught lying in print, via fact checking.
Nor did he report Wolk, Zula, and Pucci to the police.  Attorney F. Peter
Dixon did.  Attorney Dixon was a friend of the victimized family.

For those unaware, John Hoehl was put on administrative leave by then-
Bishop Anthony Bevilacqua.  Hoehl WAS removed from the priesthood
ministry.  Wuerl reinstated him.  THEREFORE, if Wuerl had the life-
changing epiphany that the deceptive, non-Catholic, and pathologically
bland Ann Rodgers claimed, then Donald Wuerl would have reported 
Wolk, Zula, Pucci, Huff, and Hoehl to the law enforcement authorities.  
He did not do so.  Thus, Ann Rodgers is once again found to be a liar, 
predictably enough.  

Then there was Wellinger, not to mention Wuerl reinstating Huff.  All in
all, know that Ann Rodgers IS a liar.  She was a non-Catholic Pittsburgh
Post Gazette writer who was appointed Pittsburgh Roman Catholic Dio-
cesan director of communications.  She still is a Protestant.  Her appoint-
ment is a case study in cronyism and Vatican II corruption.  Read onward,
because you need to know what liars comprise the Wuerl propaganda
machine. 
 
Incidentally, Wuerl did NOT write the Teachings of Christ.  He was
merely one of three editors of the catechism book which had multiple
authors.  Wuerl, himself, began the lie which claimed that he wrote 
that catechism book single-handedly.

Concerning the two lads corrupted by Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, know that
each priest performed his antics at different times, on different occasions.
It wasn't one of those "all-three-at-once" scenarios, to state it politely.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette story which was easy to prove false was that
Wuerl had a life-changing enlightenment when he went to the home of the
two lads sodomized by Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, and then instantly became
the champion of zero tolerance.  That scenario did NOT happen.  Ann
Rodgers (formerly of the Pgh Post Gazette) was and is a liar, and she
never sued me for calling her a liar.

Proof that the Ann Rodgers story is a fairy tale exists in the fact that District
Attorney John C. Pettit issued a press release which stated that Donald Wuerl,
as well as staff members of his then-diocese of Pittsburgh, were uncooperative
with law enforcement officials throughout the investigation that resulted in the
indictments of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci.

In addition, if Wuerl were the heroic bishop of zero tolerance that Ann Rodgers
said he was, then Wuerl would have immediately suspended the notorious John
Hoehl whom Wuerl personally put back into ministry, shortly before that dinner
transpired.  For the record, it was Donald Wuerl's predecessor, disgraced Anthony                              Bevilacqua, who ordered Hoehl on administrative leave.

Now, if the 5'4" Donald Wuerl whom Ann Rodgers falsely described in print as
an ascetic 5'11" were the model of zero tolerance, then Donald Wuerl would also
not have reinstated into ministry the Fr Edward Huff who would eventually be
criminally indicted and convicted.  Wuerl was covering-up Huff while he was
being lauded as a bishop of zero tolerance in the Anthony Cipolla Case.

Wolk, Zula, & Pucci

The first of the three to be indicted was Wolk, and after Wolk was indicted,
Wuerl gave an excuse for his cover-up of him.  Only afterward did Wuerl
do the artificial grandstanding, with sleight of hand semantics involved.
Wuerl was no champion of Zero Tolerance.  Wuerl was caught and then
had to quickly construct a facade.

The other proof is that Wuerl reinstated the suspended Father John Hoehl.
After that dinner, Wuerl kept Hoehl in ministry, thereby very much tolerat-
ing a priest who caused a lot of lingering psychological damage to a num-
ber of individuals.  Wuerl stubbornly kept Hoehl in ministry until Father
Robert Wolk was indicted.  Then Wuerl treated Hoehl as a hot potato and
showed him the exit door.

Now, do you see what a liar Ann Rodgers and the other Wuerl People are?
Concerning Rodgers, she meddled in influencing the Catholic mind.  Yet,
she refuses to be a Catholic.

An added scandal  is in the fact that David Zubik, a secretary of John Hoehl,
never reported Hoehl for his well-noted sex crimes.  However, my opinion is
that David Zubik had no idea of what Hoehl was doing in his private life.  I
personally knew Fr. Dave.  Dave didn't buddy around with the athletes whom
Hoehl targeted.  Dave wasn't in the inner circle.  In my opinion David Zubik
isn't an accomplice.  The problem is that he wasn't alert to his surroundings.
He needed to reach-out more.  If he did, he could have spared someone of
the grief that comes with being a high school headmaster's prey.

As was previously stated and ignored by the Vatican . . .

Added proof that Wuerl was NO hero of zero tolerance exists in the fact that
Wuerl  also reinstated the Edward Huff who ended up being indicted and con-
victed.  Thus, as you can see, the story of Wuerl being a crystal clear saint of
zero tolerance is a complete falsehood.  Wuerl IS as corrupt as they come, and
the stories were a part of that criminal corruption.

Concerning Hoehl and the time of the Wolk indictment, if Wuerl were found
to have a criminal in ministry, law enforcement would have scoured the Pitts-
burgh diocese and Wuerl in investigative detail.  Wuerl's private life, even
when he was the long-term secretary under John Cardinal Wright, would
have been revealed to law enforcement authorities.  Wuerl stubbornly kept
John Hoehl in  diocesan ministry for as long as he could do so, without hav-
ing the Diocese of Pittsburgh become a magnetized target of a detailed law
enforcement investigation.

Added proof that Wuerl had NO change of heart after the dinner evening
with the family victimized by Wolk, Zula, and Pucci was that he did NOT
report those three priests.  An attorney who was a friend of the victimized
family did the reporting thereof.  So, as you can see, Ann Rodgers, former-
ly of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, is a liar.  Rocco Palmo and Christopher
Dickey were fools to have used her as a source in their articles about Don-
ald Wuerl which were basically two plagiarisms of Rodgers; falsehoods.
They lost credibility with anyone familiar with the Wuerlgate Jpegs, news
archives, and witness accounts.  They lost credible with anyone who was
there in Pittsburgh during the 1990s.

IN AS MUCH,  contrary to what Christopher Dickey wrote, the truth is that
the only reason why Wuerl and his former Diocese of Pittsburgh had one of
the first no-tolerance sex abuse policies in America was because:

Wuerl was one of the very first bishops in the United States who got 
caught concealing criminal priests from law enforcement authorities.

So, he had to strike the disciplinarian pose while the law enforcement
spotlight was on him.  Wuerl was caught being uncooperative with
DA John C. Pettit.  So, Wuerl fabricated a new image of himself.
It included him announcing a zero tolerance sex abuse policy.

HOWEVER ...

Wuerl's sex abuse policy did NOT apply to 1} the case of  Edward Huff
who would eventually be criminally indicted, 2} the credible seminarian
Wuerl prevented from being ordained, 3} the  case of Fr. James Torquato,
4} the case of Fr. John Wellinger,  Plus, the policy was NOT implement-
ed until after Wuerl put the notorious John S. Hoehl back into ministry.
Even more hypocritical was the fact that Wuerl put back into ministry
the previously mentioned Edward Huff who was reported to Wuerl
three different times, by the differing sets of concerned Catholics.
The Zero-Tolerance label placed on Wuerl was a fraudulent claim.
_____________________________________________________________

For those unfamiliar, Ann Rodgers was a writer for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
Even though she was never any type of Catholic, she was assigned to be head
of the Communications Dept of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.
On multiple fact-checking occasions, Ann Rodgers was caught lying in print.

A Review of Wuerl's Triple Cover-up

To start, Wuerl had a Father Arnott go to the violated family, to see if they
would be willing to meet with Wuerl.  But, this only occurred when Wuerl
learned that the family was going to report the priests to law enforcement
authorities.  The Donald Wuerl who was sued many times by Pittsburgh
area residents sought to get his foot into the door.  Wuerl basically invited
himself.

Do NOT ever be deceived into thinking that Wuerl was a revered presence
in Pittsburgh.  The number of lawsuits filed against him proves  otherwise.
Wuerl had contrived press and media coverage, as well as the pit bull Ron
Lengwin who actually is very tall and who allegedly sought to intimidate
people in the mode of a big bully.  Me seeing how tall Lengwin is was as
shocking to me as having seen how tiny Wuerl is.  All that Lengwin ever
did to me was smile at me with gritted teeth and a snarl.  He kept moving
and I never saw him again.  This was at the diocesan building.

If Wuerl's meeting with the family were similar to other people's encounters
with Wuerl, then I can assure you that he left the family feeling violated and
outraged.  I can assure you that he triggered a sense of insult so intense that
they went forth and gave the greenlight to Attorney F. Peter Dixon who end-
ed up reporting the three priests to law enforcement officials.

As soon as the indictment was filed, Wuerl got rid of Hoehl like a sand bag in
a hot air balloon losing altitude.  But, not until then.  This is extremely interest-
ing, in that it indicates that Wuerl seemingly assumed that the violated family
would not report the three molester priests to the police.  If Wuerl anticipated
the reporting thereof, he would have gotten rid of John Hoehl immediately.
Wuerl let Hoehl remain in ministry, as if Wuerl arrogantly assumed that he
controlled the violated family on a set of puppet strings.

Wuerl keeping Fr. John Hoehl in ministry after the meeting with
the family of two molested altar boys proves that  Wuerl had no
change of heart or policy that resulted from the meeting/dinner.
The claim that the meeting changed Wuerl is lying propaganda.

During the journalists' 2013 papal conjecture phrase, shortly before Francis I
ascended to the Chair of Saint Peter, the Daily Beast's Paris bureau chief con-
jectured that Cardinal Wuerl was America's candidate for pope, in light of the
newspaper articles that glorified Wuerl, especially in the heavily misrepresent-
ed Anthony Cipolla case that starred a seminary flunk-out who was described
as a perpetual and pathological liar by multiple persons who knew him.  In fact,
the Cipolla case starred an individual who was even declared NOT credible by
Donald Wuerl, at one time.  His name is Tim Bendig and he lied to me four
times in a row in the Year 2014, during a telephone conversation that he
initiated with me during work hours.  I conducted that conversation in a
construction trailer office, next to a drawing board.

The Paris bureau chief then stated that Wuerl apparently became too tired to
fight the good fight that the media described Wuerl as having fought.  Dickey
then referred to one of Ann Rodgers' Pgh Post Gazette articles, stating:

     But a few weeks after that decision Wuerl met with the devout, deeply
     disillusioned, and increasingly litigious family of one victim.  They in-
     vited Wuerl to dinner and, according to a lengthy and laudatory report
     in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2003, when Wuerl left that table his
     views of the issue had changed.  Before, his actions had been closely
     aligned church policies, which were basically a CYA masquerading
     as piety.

     Now Wuerl told his staff it had to get its priorities straight: the first
    concern was the injured party, the second was for the person’s family,
    the third—and only the third—was the potential harm to the church
    and its reputation.   He’s on the record declaring zero tolerance for
    priests accused of sexual abuse 14 years before that became official
   policy.
__________________________________________________________
The decision to which Dickey referred was Wuerl's decision to put back
into ministry the notorious John S. Hoehl, former headmaster of Quigley
H.S., in Baden Pennsylvania.  I attended that school for four years.  And
yes, I heard the rumors while in school.

Furthermore, Wuerl did NOT observe the policy he announced in the case
of Edward Huff.  Plus, his policy did NOT apply to Torquato's prey or to
the credible deacon whistle blower Wuerl trapped and refused to ordain
into the priesthood.  Yet, Wuerl ordained the homosexual predator, James
Torquato, and covered up Torquato's wrongs, thereby approving of them
in deed.
