A Fourth Pittsburgh area molester got away, thanks to Donald Wuerl, ACCORDING to Cleveland Plain Dealer & Bryant Times

In re: Wuerl's Triple Cover-up which resulted in the indictments of Fathers Robert Wolk, Richard Zula, and Francis Pucci, accompanied by District Attorney John C Pettit calling Wuerl and his staff less-than-cooperative.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer mentioned the existence of an alleged fourth assailant in the case involving Frs. Wolk-Zula-&-Pucci.  The Plain Dealer mentioned four additional youths abused by either/or Frs Pucci, Wolk, Zula, the fourth suspect.  The Bryan Times, which served Ohioans on the Northwestern sector of the state reported the same things.

The fourth person was GEORGE ZIRWAS, someone who conveniently found his way to Cuba, only to meet his death in an unholy setting.

Incidentally, Robert Wolk was ordained the exact same year in which Wuerl was.  This would indicate that Wolk and Wuerl were classmates.  This would indicate cronyism in Wuerl's cover-up and in him publicly stating that telling a priest that he can no longer be in ministry "is a devastating thing to do."

    In 2015, Wuerl was hailed as a Poor Richard, living the ascetic life in a closed-down school.  He was then discovered to be living the Marie Antoinette lifestyle, in a $43 million complex, along Washington DC's posh Embassy Row.

Wuerl was being hailed as an ascetic even when he was living 
in this Pittsburgh mansion.  The lies about Wuerl were uncovered 
with documents, photos, and news archives.  He's a walking lie.
 

As a humorous note, as soon as I took this photo, a "guard" dog came out of the mansion.   My remaining photos of the area were accompanied with the hostile sound of the dog.

Wuerl only had a zero tolerance track record when it came to having zero tolerance toward whistle-blowers who tried to clean-up the corruption in Wuerl's own diocese.  This included James Torquato's evidence-based accuser.  

You can add the Paul Dorsch who was a credible accuser of the notorious John Hoehl, not to mention the Chris Witkowski whose case was mentioned in the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report.  Chris's perp was John Wellinger.  Also add the previously mentioned whistle-blower roll call the deacon whom Wuerl would never allow to be ordained a priest.

The press treatment of Wuerl has been a very unconscionable lie, regarding him being hailed as a heroic & caring zero tolerance bishop.  He was just another bishop who had his share of cover-ups and even retaliations, all the while having been an eight-year-long rebel against the Vatican ban on Dignity Masses.

All in all, Wuerl was one of the first bishops caught performing a cover-up.  My research shows that he was the second bishop, only preceded by the Lafayette Louisiana diocese's cover-up of Gilbert Gauthe.
