| Pittsburgh, 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 Diocesan director of communications. She still is a Protestant. Her appointment 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 tolerating a priest who caused a lot of lingering psychological damage to a number 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 convicted. 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 Pittsburgh 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 having 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, formerly 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 Donald 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 implemented 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 three different 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 ended 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 interesting, 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 Bergoglio ascended to the Chair of Saint Peter, the Daily Beast's Paris bureau chief conjectured that Cardinal Wuerl was America's candidate for pope, in light of the newspaper articles that glorified Wuerl, especially in the heavily misrepresented Anthony Cipolla case that starred a seminary flunk-out who was described as a perpetual 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 invited 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.
The source of this letter is self-evident.
