The Body Sore Allegation that adds to the farcical nature of the Cipolla Case: Sores are too painful for any priest to molest anyone.


Opening Note:  It was vehemently concluded that the Donald Wuerl who, in 2018, was finally caught engaging in cover-ups as a matter of habit, placed the Cipolla Case in neon lights, in order to use it as a diversionary tactic, to hide Wuerl's multiple cover-ups of abusive priests.

Moreover, Wuerl let that case be presented in a false light, allowing for it to be hyper-exaggerated, for greater diversionary-tactic-effect.

This is the case whether Cipolla were fully guilty, only partially guilty, or not guilty at all.  The Cipolla Case was presented to the public here ... in this post ... to show Wuerl's egregious degree of premeditated deception.  

Do not be deceived, Wuerl was vicious & malicious.  In fact, one Pittsburgh sex abuse PLAINTIFF said that he personally met Wuerl and spoke with him, and that Wuerl was the most evil presence he ever encountered in his life.  Period.  

By the way, the Wuerl I encountered was a narcissistic brat who didn't care about anything but absorbing praise by parishioner ladies in a church basement.  The guys there couldn't care any less about Wuerl than they did.  The guys there were unmoved, unimpressed, and uninspired by Wuerl.  

November 2023 Update:

Concerning the claim that Cipolla had BODY SORES

I was contacted years ago ... by an individual whose name I'm not going to mention, for the sake of privacy ... and was informed that no one claimed that Cipolla had sores all over his body.  He merely had rashes.  

I was also told that no assistant lawyer of Attorney John Conte told anyone to testify at a deposition that Cipolla received a sore (or rash) on one of his forearms from a spider bite.  I'm going to be polite and leave "it" at this, without adding a commentary ... or a smart aleck response.  

Once again, Cipolla was now said to have had rashes, and not Biblical sores on his body.  The pertinent point is that Bendig's attorney ... during deposition time ... was so hard-up to find anything against Cipolla that he brought into the conversation a red mark-blotch-rash on one of Cipolla's forearms, as if that could prove that Cipolla were a grand molester of the ages who contracted some kind of sexually transmitted disease.  

End of November 2023 Update

That which appears below was written BEFORE someone came forth to amend the story of Cipolla, as was told to him by the 1978 accusing mother who endlessly exaggerated the things she did not outright lie-about.  And remember, this was the woman who, in 2014, thought that you were such a gullible & airheaded dupe that you would instantly believe her claim that I didn't exist ... but was only Anthony Cipolla in disguise with a fake name ... operating a child molestation ring.

And of course, if you are rich ... or if you manage a wealthy corporation ... and you claim anything near to what she claimed in 2014 and at other times, you and I will end up in the same civil courtroom.  I will not settle out of court with you.  And I believe that it has already been proven that I keep my promises.

The original beginning of this post/discourse starts here:

The 1978 accuser of Anthony Cipolla told a certain individual that her son, the young Tucker (aka Tommy), alleged the following ====> that Cipolla had sores all over his body, while he was allegedly consummating unnatural lust with Tucker.   Got it?  

Cipolla was made out to be a grotesque monster in physical appearance, thereby adding to the theatrical sensationalism of the story which I previously covered in detail, years ago.  

At this point, Ladies & Gentlemen of the jury, what is ridiculously wrong with this picture?

ANS:  Find me one person who has sores all over his body and who does NOT cringe and seethe in pain while making contact with another person's body.  In addition, Cipolla was a young man at the time, only in his thirties; and he wasn't living in the sewers.  Neither was he bedridden to the point of getting bed sores. 

Do you really believe that Cipolla had sores all over his body in the 1970s?  The would have been on his face, arms, and hands, too.  This means that there would have been numerous witnesses to this allegation.  This destroyed the credibility of the 1978 accuser of Cipolla.

However, her credibility can assuredly be regarded as additionally destroyed, in her having claimed in print that I was Anthony Cipolla in disguise, operating a child molestation ring.  For the record, Cipolla died SIX years ago, and his ghost is NOT typing this text.   Liars always get found-out.  Their believers become proven fools.

BTW,  I NEVER Stated Such an Assertion as Follows

At this point, I need to remind you that I NEVER confidently claimed that Cipolla was "not guilty" of committing molestation in 1978.  I NEVER assuredly stated that he was guilty, either.  

I simply stated in detail that the horror story of a DA bullying the 1978 accuser/mother into dropping criminal charges that were NOT even filed in the first place was a complete lie that contradicted all the processes of Pennsylvania Criminal Procedure, as well as forensic investigation protocol.          

Very simply, reasonable doubt exists squared & cubed in this 1978 case which never resulted in an arrest, and which never resulted in a trial.

My point was to show that Donald Wuerl was using the hyper-exaggerated Cipolla Case to hide Wuerl's many molester priest cover-ups ... and to deceive the public into thinking that Wuerl was a man of untold Bravery & Holiness.  Well, the 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury findings proved that I was correct in warning the public that Wuerl was a deceitful Con Artist & Cover-up Artist ::: The Picasso of Deceit.

Furthermore, if Cipolla's friends smashed her apartment windows as she theatrically claimed, her landlord would have bellowed at high volume.  The police would have intervened, and the whole thing would have been front page news.

It would be an archived newspaper article easy to locate on the Internet.  This is especially true, because, earlier in 1978, the Pittsburgh police already arrested a defrocked priest, for contributing to the delinquency of male minors.

News of a second priest being indicted for molestation would have made the frontpages in 1978.  Smashed windows resulting from a priest's friends retaliating would have been the story of the week.  So, go and search for a 1978 news article reporting the smashing of windows shortly after a priest's arrest which never occurred in the first place.

And remember ===>  I DIDN'T trust Cipolla.   I simply could not catch him contradicting himself.   Then, I would discover that the post-arrest allegations were completely false, being that there was no arrest.   

I previously heard Tim Bendig lie to me four times in a matter of minutes over the telephone, making me conclude that Bendig was a con artist. So, when it comes to the actual molestationallegations themselves, I don't know whom to believe.  I simply know that Wuerl made the Cipolla Case sound iconic, so that Wuerl would be rocketed into very undeserved stardom.

 None the less, I remained suspicious of Anthony Cipolla.  Yet,  I couldn't find the evidence to assure his guilt.  There was reasonable doubt in the 1978 case.  And there was a lot of doubt in the Bendig case, being that Bendig was a proven liar.

Even at that, you don't know for sure.  It's just that there was no evidence to warrant a noose around Cipolla's neck at high noon, especially in light of the fact thath is accusers were caught lying about him, repeatedly.

The Number 1 reason why I still entertained the possibility of his guilt was in the fact that he once tried to get a home-schooling job.  But, this dwindled, when it was discovered that he never tried to get any kind of home schooling job again.

In addition, the Number 1 reason why I entertained the possibility of Cipolla's innocence was in the description of how he "allegedly" molested a nine year old child who naturally carries - shall we politely say --- certain body parts too too small to be molested by an adult-sized hand.  Nine year olds were molested in other ways, concerning such molestation cases.  It sounded like someone was making up a story that didn't match past cases or the biological sciences.

All in all, Wuerl needed to shut down and declare closed the Cipolla Case, lest more investigators and detectives prod through the Diocese of Pittsburgh and uncover the cover-ups that Wuerl still had in tact.  Wuerl used the Cipolla Case as a diversion, so that the Pittsburgh Post Gazette would state, "Nothing more to see here, folks.  Move on."

The Vatican Case Was a Jurisdictional Matter which did NOT judge if Cipolla molested anyone.

The Wuerl/Cipolla Case found its way to the highest court in the Holy See, and it asked only one question, giving one answer to that question.  The question was this ===>  Does a bishop have the authority to dismiss a priest from ministry, if the priest was diagnosed as having mental illness?  Got it?   This is what really happened at the Vatican:

Tim Bendig was an absolute failure at the Pittsburgh seminary, and he had the lack of civility, as well.  So, he was asked to leave in 1987 or so.  He then asked the diocese for money.  The diocese refused to give Bendig money.  Bendig then proceeded to accuse a number of priests of sodomy and the such.

Concerning Cipolla, Bendig accused Cipolla of having molested him for years, while Cipolla was stationed in New Brighton PA.   New Brighton is 25 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, along the Ohio River.

This photo is the one closest to New Brighton that I possess.

Wuerl understood the accusations to be that of a con artist.  So, Wuerl ignored Bendig.   Then, in October of 1988,  Frs Wolk, Zula, and Pucci were indicted at a neighboring county where the Diocese of Pittsburgh operates.  Immediately thereafter, Bendig went to the media and claimed that he was molested, too.  Only then did Wuerl order Cipolla to go to a psychiatric treatment center.

At the center, Cipolla said to an analyst that a man's life isn't worth living if he can't do the vocation work he was ordained to do (to the effect thereof.)  So, the analyst diagnosed Cipolla as being suicidal & suffering from Clinical Depression.  Wuerl then used that diagnosis to remove Cipolla.

Cipolla then filed against Wuerl in Catholic Church court.  Cipolla went to another treatment center (in NYC) and got a clean bill of health, at his financial expense.  Wuerl refused to accept the diagnosis.   The Vatican then ordered Wuerl to reinstate Cipolla.  Wuerl then got a rehearing, under the guise of "the possibility that the facts of the case were erroneous."

So, there was a second hearing at the highest court of the Vatican, with Cipolla not being present.  It was simply declared that Wuerl had the right to remove a priest declared mentally ill, even if the priest gets a second opinion which is contrary to the original diagnosis.

That which actually happened in the Bendig Civil Lawsuit, filed in the Pennsylvania Court of Commons Pleas and NOT at the Vatican, was this:

Tim Bendig's lawyer, (who was the attorney for the local masons), didn't have anything on Cipolla that could stick.  Thus, Attorney Douglas Yauger was so desperate for evidence against Anthony Cipolla that he motioned the court for a continuance, so that he could find more witnesses.  Yauger found none more than the 1978 mom who accused Cipolla of molestation.

Interestingly, concerning the out of court settlement and the lack of a trial, Yauger simply told someone in the media that the 1978 accuser was located by him (without him mentioning her name.)   About her, he merely said that he "would like to have used her" (as a trial witness) for whatever it was worth.  So, Yauger had no option other than to make a big deal out of one sore on Cipolla's arm.

Yauger made such a big deal of it that John Conte's assistant lawyer coached one of the Cipolla witnesses to say at his deposition (in the Bendig lawsuit) that the one sore on Cipolla's arm came from a spider bite.  That was deceitful.

Now, how would the witness have known how Cipolla got that one sore?  This particular witness was NOT a medical professional who treated Cipolla.  Plus, because of that lawyer coaching that one witness, the witness being coached assumed that Cipolla was as guilty as sin. 

That one witness then decided to do some investigating on his own, he said.  Well, all that he did was talk to Diane Thompson.  He did NOT seek to fact-check anything she said, and he was so gullible that he believed her tale of Cipolla having sores all over his body.

To this day,  he didn't sit back and take note of the failure of plausibility in anything that Thompson claimed.  He didn't catch all of Thompson's contradictions.  This is why the circus master, P.T. Barnum once said, "There's one born every minute."

Concerning that one sore, what was Yauger trying to do in mentioning it?

ANS:  He, in my opinion, wanted the jury to think that Cipolla might have had AIDS.  That one sore might portray an infected sexual maniac, and cause the jury to be suspicious of Cipolla, in the trial of the civil lawsuit filed by Bendig.   Well, it has been 30 years since the discovery phase of the Bendig lawsuit, and neither Bendig nor Cipolla manifested any signs of AIDS.  Any insinuation of Cipolla giving Bendig AIDS was nihil.

This obsession with one mere sore on an arm showed how desperate Bendig's attorney was, in the quest to find any evidence in support of his client.  And remember, Bendig lied to me four times in a row in a row in a matter of minutes.

RENT MONEY REQUEST DENIED IN 1978

Also remember that Thompson did NOT accuse Cipolla of any wrongdoing until Cipolla told her that the Saint Vincent de Paul Society did NOT have the money to pay Diane Thompson's rent.

Concerning the Tim Bendig who lied to me four times in a row:  Proof that he was a con artist consists in the fact that he took his lawsuit settlement dollars and purchased a bar & grill with it, never spending it on psychiatric services as he claimed he would do.

Concerning that which Cippolla said to me, I never believed nor disbelieved him, being that I need someone to do some cross examining.  It's just that I did NOT catch Cipolla contradicting himself.  Yet, that is NOT enough for me to publicly state, "not guilty" in the 1978 molestation allegations.  None the less, the falsehoods told by the accusing party were beyond ridiculous.

Now watch . . .


Then came another witness who spent time in Michigan with Cipolla and Tim Bendig simultaeously.  He said that nothing suspicious between the two ever happened, as well as having stated that Anthony Cipolla never tried to molest him.   Well, that particular witness said that he was NEVER coached by any lawyer on John Conte's staff.  He was to be one of the trial witnesses, of course.

For those unaware, John Conte was Cipolla's defense attorney in the Bendig lawsuit.  He charged Cipolla  $25,000 for his law firm's services.  That lawyer was my neighbor for years.  I even went to Canada, on vacation, with John's son.  I went to the same schools as did his children.  I knew the Conte family for years ... for decades.

  

One more thing:  Why would Attorney John Conte's assistant act as if Cipolla were guilty?  ANS:  It was because the Pittsburgh Post Gazette stated that Cipolla was arrested for molestation back in 1978, and because Americans did NOT have ready access to newspaper archives at that time.  If you go to the Post Gazette archives, you will find that, in 1978, Cipolla was NEVER arrested.  He was merely served a SUMMARY NOTICE which instructed him to show-up for a hearing 28 days hence.  The hearing was to see if filing charges against Cipolla was warranted.

The actual detective assigned to the Cipolla case told Josh Shapiro's PA grand jury that Cipolla was NEVER charged/indicted/arrested.  He simply said that he told the accuser mother of 1978 that, if Cipolla would do any kind of molesting from that point onward, then he would be arrested pronto.  That was a stupid thing to say, being that, from July 1978 onward, there was no way in which Cipolla would be able to get near those two youths.

None the less, my intent, in addressing the Cipolla case, was to show the public that Donald Wuerl is a con artist of great deceit who covered up molester priests, all the while pretending to be the great disciplinarian of them.  Cipolla was Wuerl's diversionary tactic.                               

Also keep in mind that Cipolla tried to get a job teaching home-schooled children after he was suspended from ministry by Wuerl ... and that Cipolla only did that one time, making someone ask, "Hey wait.  If he's a molester, then why wouldn't he keep trying to get a job teaching home-schooled kids?"

Incidentally, this home-schooling incident is why I continued to have my doubts about Cipolla.  None the less, there were too many lies told about the Cipolla Case, especially the lie about a DA forcing a woman to "drop charges" that were never filed in the place, and when the DA could have instantly drop them on his own.  Incidentally, before I learned of the details of the case, I believed that Cipolla was as guilty as sin.                                        

                                                     In review:

The Summary Notice was only signed by the 1978 accuser-mother.  This meant that neither the police nor the DA nor the State Attorneys General office had evidence against Cipolla to warrant prosecution of him.  The DA's office needed to sign it.                            

Thompson was taking it upon herself to be the prosecutor of the case, but needed the City Court judge's approval for her to proceed, in her private criminal complaint.  Thompson withdrew her private criminal complaint before the hearing.

According to Cipolla, after the judge told him that Thompson dropped the case, the same judge said, "Watch who you try to help."  And of course, simply from what Thompson wrote about me ... a person who simultaneously carried three security clearances and who lived 900 miles away from her ... she is a pathological liar.  John Conte called her an "adroit liar."  Even at that, I cannot declare Cipolla assuredly not guilty.

She alleged that Tucker (aka Tommy, now in his 40s) is dysfunctional and that the loss of functionality was caused by Cipolla.  She also stated that she is raising two teenagers, both of whom are Tucker's children.  

Concerning any out of court settlement in these cases, it simply means that neither culpability nor innocence is declared.  A person paying a settlement does NOT admit to guilt.  It's simply a payment to end contentious proceedings.  That is to say, truth is NOT ascertained in an out of court settlement.

And keep this in mind ====>  If a diocese refuses to give an accuser an out of court settlement, that diocese could be the target of investigators.  So, settlements get paid, to keep the authorities and private investigators, as well as journalists, from digging deeper.  Plus, if the price of the settlement is less than the cost of defending the defendant, expect a settlement to come as a result of mathematics.

May 27, 2026

Tim Bendig lied to me four consecutive times, in a matter of minutes.

NOTE:  Simply because Bendig was found to be a con artist, it does NOT
immediately write off the 1978 accusations against Anthony Cipolla.  In 
as much:

Due to the manipulative influence of Donald Wuerl, Tim Bendig was made 
the de facto poster boy of those abused by priests.  The problem is that, when 
you make someone the poster boy of those abused by priests, you need to first 
make sure that the person actually was abused as such.  Tim Bendig has proven
himself to be nothing but a perpetual liar and con artist.  

Cipolla was never put into handcuffs as Bendig claimed.
Accusers Bendig and Thompson were both in need of money.,
when they accused Cipolla.  Thompson, incidentally, was
fact-checked to the depths and found to be a liar squared and cubed.
The Starting Point

We begin with the following piece of documented evidence.  It shows that there
were NO grounds upon which to file criminal charges against Anthony Cipolla,
even though Benidg went to lengths to make it happen.  Of course, it is the qual-
ified opinion that Bendig sought criminal charges, so that he could get more
money in the lawsuit which never went to trial.  The obvious reason is that, if
Cipolla were molesting Bendig for seven consecutive years, Bendig would have
gone to a DA much sooner.  

Of course, Bendig is a liar who only accused Cipolla of unnatural acts immediate-
ly after Cipolla told Padre Pio Group members to stop sending Bendig donation
money.  

In addition, Cipolla was asked if he recommended that Benidg, a poor academic 
student, should be admitted to the Pgh seminary.  Cipolla said that it would hurt.
Now, if Cipolla were locked into a seven unnatural affair with Tim Bendig, he 
would have vehemently made sure that Bendig would never get admitted.  This
is because, if Cipolla really were having the Sodomite affair with Bendig which
Bendig claimed occurred, Cipolla would have feared that Bendig would speak.
Cipolla would have jeot Bendig away from all church authorities.  In as much,
Cipolla would never have told Padre Pio Group members to stop sending Tim
Bendig donation dollars in fear of being exposed.  Cipolla's actions were that
of an innocent man.  In addition, keep in minde that Bendig accused over a
dozen seminarians and almost a dozen priests of unnatural conduct.  Plus, the
same Tim Bendig lied directly to me.  
.

Now, people as gullible as Americans can easily miss the point to almost any-
thing.  In this instance there is one startling point that perhaps goes over the
head of the gullible.  It goes as follows:  

The Vatican has done consummate ignoring of the Wuerlgate material sent to 
it in 2014.  The Wuerl People act as if Wuerlgate doesn't exist, outside of one
journalist falsely stating that Wuerl never covered a "pervert,"  as if Zula, Wolk,
and Pucci were merely playful little rascals.  HOWEVER, Bendig and his camp
took definitive notice of the Wuerlgate material.  In as much, if Bendig is taking
notice of the Wuerlgate material, then the Wuerl People are.

We now adjourn to the second pivotal piece of documentation; namlely, Anthony
Cipolla's 2014 security clearance.  There are NO arrest records of him anywhere
in the State of Pennsylvania.  I ordered the security clearance background check,
myself.  This is why the results of the background check was addressed to me.
In all of my investigating of Anthony Cipolla, he turned out to be squeeky clean.
Tim Bendig turned out to be the eternal liar and overall insult to my intelligence.



Bendig's deceptive approach is simple to explain, being that I experienced it on
a firsthand basis.  Bendig simply sounds all so confident when he speaks.  He
sounds so confident that you don't assume that anyone who sounds so sure of 
himself is a liar.  But remember:  Wuerl originally declared Bendig NOT cred-
ible.  It's just that, if the Bendig lawsuit went to trial, a lot of damning accusa-
tion against Wuerl would have been mentioned.  Thus remember this:

WUERL SETTLED THE BENDIG LAWSUIT OUT OF COURT, IN ORDER
TO COVER-UP THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST WUERL, HIMSELF.  The
problem was that Bendig was such a liar that it didn't matter what Benidg stated 
about Wuerl.  For those unaware, through the years a number of people alleged
that Donald Wuerl ... the Dignity Mass red carpet treatment guy ... was a long-
term practicing homosexual, in violation of one of his priesthood vows.  I have
had multiple sources with added detail in the damning allegations thereof.

Therefore, Donald Wuerl destroyed Anthony Cipolla, so that Wuerl could cover
up Wuerl ... and the Father Edward Huff who unexpectedly got criminally indict-
ed and convicted.

Back to Bendig, the Lying Con Artist

While speaking in the tone of utter confidence, Bendig told me four lies in suc-
cession that could easily be proven false, being that I had in my possession a 
district attorney's findings that there was NO evidence upon which to act upon
Bendig's accusations  against an Anthony Cipolla whose track record was found
to be crystal clean.  

You merely don't assume that anyone sounding as confident and assured as Tim
Bendig would have the audacity to lie.  He lied to me four times in a matter of 
moments.  He is to be thoroughly condemned as a life-destroying con artist.  
Period.  What if he did to you what he did to Anthony Cipolla?  I am quite
sure that you wouldn't like it.  In fact, I am sure that Bendig's lies would
have an affect on your heart.  After all, Cipolla needed bypass surgery,
and his 2014 minor heart attack was ajudged by a licensed physician
as being due to stress.  Bendig's lies and Wuerl con game caused An-
thony Cipolla consummate stress.  If it happened to you and I we both
would have died ... I suppose.  Or else we would have fought to get our
reputations back.

Contrary to what Ann Rodgers and a second Pgh Post Gazette writer claimed, the
hard copy evidence is that the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla has
NO arrest record in the State of Pennsylvania.  He was NEVER arrested for any-
thing, ever.  The evidentiary support that strengthens this declarative statement
is posted directly below:

At this point, keep in mind Tim Bendig's present-tense game, according to my
opinion.  He's presenting himself as a poor soul who was deprived a childhood
via molestation and is now making up for the pretend lost childhood through
the child star reunions that he hosts.  He is still making money on his lies about
Cipolla, in my qualified opinion.

None the less, what is not my opinion is the FACT that Tim Bendig lied to me
four times in succession, concerning an allegation I was easily able to disprove,
because I had the official DA's investigation finding in my possession and online.
The Beaver County DA never filed any kind of charge against Cipolla.  His offi-
cial findings was that there was NO corroborative evidence and that the timeline
set by Bendig was such that Bendig was over 18 years of age, anyway.

Plus, no nun at the McGuire Home would have tolerated any suspicious activity
between Cipolla and anyone at a place heavily monitored.  If Cipolla and Bendig
were engaged in unnatural activity, then it would have been noticed pronto at that
facility.

Also keep in mind that anyone who gets payed via Tim Bendig has a conflict of
interest which disqualifies his/her comments.  This would include the child star
reunion people.  Such comments are the dog biscuit phenomenon.  Those people
will say what they will for the money ... for the dog biscuits.

The lying propaganda also had its contribution from the non-aesthetic Dr. Bill
Donohue who hogged $475,000 per annum of charity donation money and who
also turned a league into a one-man money-grabbing show.  His praise of Wuerl
was unconscionable in that it was definitely motivated by money, 475,000 times
over.

In addition, if you were not a part of the five year intermittent investigation
that morphed into two other investigations to which I am not involved, then
you haven't any grounds upon which to make any comment.  The Jpeg evi-
dence concerning Wuerl's wrongs is here at the Wuerlgate site; not at the
Post Gazette site, not in any Ann Rodgers articles, not in any Christopher
Dickey article, not in the Washingtonian, not at Commonweal Magazine
and not in any part of Wuerl's own web log archive.  The evidence is here,
at the Wuerlgate site ... not among the Wuerl People.
___________________________________________________________

Tim Bendig allegedly stated long ago that he can con anyone out of anything.
Well, he tried his best on me in the Summer of 2014 and failed.  Bendig only
failed, because he contradicted the facts of documentation I had gathered into
my possession and posted online.

At the beginning of the 2014 phone conversation, Bendig seemed to be sin-
cere, to the point of making me wonder if my conclusion about Anthony Ci-
polla's apparent innocence were something I had mistaken.  I was willing to
give Bendig another chance, even though he previously threatened to destroy
my life, stating that he was coming after me.   None the less, during the 2014
phone conversation, he sounded all so polite and all so sincere.  Then, out of
nowhere, Bendig said the following which revealed to me how much of a con-
tinuous liar he is:

"You know that Cipolla was taken out of the McGuire Home in handcuffs, 
don't you?"  Of course, this is a falsehood that I've already proven to be false,
via a DA's official investigative findings.  He stated that his office found NO
evidence or corroborating witnesses to warrant the filing of criminal charges
against the man once known as Father Anthony Cipolla.  Bendig then stated
that he witnessed the arrest himself.  Bendig then proceeded to change his
story, over and over again.  Bendig's lying of that afternoon hung him.

Incidentally, Bendig called me at the office during work hours.  He acted all
so polite in speech, but was incredibly rude to have imposed himself upon me
at work.

The work in the office involves the construction profession.  This comprises
developing price quotes, sending requests for quotes, searching for subcon-
tractors, writing out project progress reports, doing the weekly payroll, pro-
cessing the accounts payable ledger, keeping tabs on account receivables,
picking up plans and spec at engineering offices, attending pre-bid meet-
ings, making phone calls to architectural firms, keeping the vehicles and
heavy equipment fleet current, assisting in the numbers placed in the blue-
print take-offs, filing civil actions, filing mechanic's liens, filing praecipes
for writs of execution, getting bond surety checks, hunting down potential
work, and similar things that transpire in a pace similar to the activity on
the floor of the Wall Street stock exchange.  Then there is the matter of
going out on the field, to do the actual construction work.

If Bendig were sincerely polite, he would have waited to call me after work
hours.  None the less, I gave him my undivided attention and ample time.
All in all, he was acting all so polite while being all so rude.

Now, the McGuire Home (located 24 miles northwest of the Three Rivers
Confluence) is a facility for physically afflicted youth.  What would Ben-
dig be doing there that he would witness an arrest?  Plus, as I previously
stated, Anthony Cipolla would have first received a notice that criminal
charges had been filed against him and he would have been given a small
allotment of time to surrender himself to authorities.

Bendig was trying to make me think that he drove up to the McGuire Home
with the police, pointed at Cipolla and had the police take Anthony away.
Well, criminal law in Pennsylvania doesn't work that way.  At the very
least, a detective would have needed to have had a judge sign-off on the
detective affidavit.  It's called Due Process, and Bendig hasn't that concept.

None the less, exactly after Bendig said that he saw Anthony Cipolla get
arrested at the McGuire Home of Beaver County Pennsylvania, I said,
"But I have the Beaver County District Attorney's report here stating
that there were no grounds upon which to file criminal charges against
Anthony Cipolla."

Tim Bendig then quickly responded by saying, "You know why that hap-
pened?"  Additional words were politely exchanged and Bendig said, "They
let him go."  For the record, This was lie #2, being that Cipolla was never
arrested in the first place.  Observe the documentation which revealed that
a three month investigation was conducted and that after all that time, no
evidence was found to support Bendig's allegations:

This is the Beaver County DA Report stating that there were no grounds upon which to
file any criminal charges against Anthony Cipolla.  This proves Tim Bendig to be a liar.

Now remember, Bendig stated that he saw Cipolla taken out of the Beaver Coun-
ty McGuire Home in handcuffs ... that he witnessed the event himself.   He then
said that the police let Cipolla go, after placing him in make-believe handcuffs.
Two lies.  Then Bendig said that ... oh well ... the event was on the TV news and
TV viewers throughout the area witnessed it, instead of Bendig.  Concerning this,
Bendig said to me (to the effect), "Didn't you see it on the news?   Or didn't you
watch TV in those days?"  Thus, Bendig was trying to make me feel unsure of
myself.   Of course, Cipolla was never arrested, and Bendig lied to me yet again.

Then Bendig said, "Well, my attorney told me (that Cipolla was arrested at the
McGuire Home.)  Of course, Anthony Cipolla was never arrested, ever.  So, in
very few sentences, Bendig lied to me four times.  All the while, he was speak-
ing very politely.  Thus, a polite voice can be the voice of a liar.  After all, it
is written that Satan masquerades as an angel of light.  None the less, Bendig
changed his story three times within one paragraph of speech.

The scorecard goes as follows:

Bendig first said that he personally saw Anthony Cipolla get taken out of the
McGuire Home in handcuffs.  He then said that the event was something that
people saw on TV.  The same Tim Bendig then said that his attorney told him
that Cipolla was arrested at the McGuire Home, but that Bendig didn't witness
that event which never happened in the first place.  Ladies and Gentleman, I'm
a continuing witness to the observation that Tim Bendig is a liar, even into the
Year 2014.

Furthermore, it is assumed that Benidg violates his out-of-court settlement every
time he mentions the Cipolla lawsuit.  One assumes that the settlement contained
a confidentiality clause.  Now, Bendig wanted me to interview him, and he said
that I could even record the conversation.  Well, is this or is this not a violation
of Tim Bendig's out-of-court settlement agreement?
________________________________________________________________

Upon hearing Bendig lie to me in succession, I thought to myself  (to the effect)
"Wow, Cipolla  really is innocent, after all.  Case closed."

All in all, Tim Bendig apparently and seemingly thinks that, if he sounds convinc-
ing, then you will believe him.  He didn't take factual documentation into account.
I witnessed with my own hearing that Tim Bendig is quite the liar, all the while
hiding behind a deceptive facade.
__________________________________________________________________

Yes, Tim Bendig was given my telephone number by one of Hollywood's
less-than-leading-man types who betrayed confidentiality and wrote me
texts which reveal a non-charismatic, self-seeking, less than gentlemanly,
outright vulgar individual, with no control of his temper, and void of any
manifest altruism ... or conscience.  Yet, two years prior, this Hollywood
nerd geek dweeb type was complaining bitterly over Tim Bendig, even
to the point of asking me if I could contingently go on his talk show.

Plus, the Hollywood nerd boy showed zero signs of intelligence in that he
sent me incriminating evidence for the court of public opinion that he can't
erase.  I've even photographed his texts.  I can post them online at any time.
When the time is right, of course ... in the event that he attacks me or any
defender of Cipolla.  He is one of Tim Bendig's clients, thereby making him
a reflection on Tim Bendig, by association.  This amounts to very bad future
publicity.

Incidentally, one of the texts that Bendig's Hollywood client sent me stated:

"You're sailing in dangerous waters my friend.  Beware of pirates. ..."

Now, who is stupid enough to send intimidation tactics to an Italian construc-
tion worker who happens to also be a descendant of Danish Vikings and who
lifts weights on a regular basis?  You've got to be kidding.  I was in the ghettos
at night, as a part of my job, unarmed, and this little Hollywood nerd boy thinks
that he can scare me.

By the way, the difference between that client of Bendig and me is that I have
three active security clearances and he allegedly has a criminal record, accord-
ing to what he told me in the Year 2012.  Bendig did apologize for that client's
behavior.  But, Bendig lied to me about Anthony Cipolla, none the less.  Ben-
dig destroyed Cipolla's life and has shown zero remorse after all these years.
_______________________________________________________________

Incidentally, Bendig told me how his attorney found out about Diane Thomp-
son and her 1978 accusation ... of accusations that were fact-checked as to their
details and found to be easily provable falsehoods.  Bendig said that she contact-
ed Bendig's attorney and told him.  If this is true, then it's plausible that she was
looking for money, as in finding an attorney to file a lawsuit ... as in piling on ...
as in jumping on the band wagon.

However, how did Diane Thompson know of Douglas Yauger, the Masonic
Guild's attorney?  Bendig's original attorney was Attorney Edward Weiss and
not Yauger.  Well, the newspapers said that Yauger revealed the 1978 accusa-
tion  to Wuerl.  All in all, Yauger did NOT get his info from the public records,
being that Cipolla was never arrested in the first place.

Also keep in mind that Diane Thompson has always been too much of a gutless
coward to contact me and tell me that I am wrong.  Perhaps she doesn't contact
me because she knows that I am correct.  After all, she claimed that Cipolla's
trial was scheduled a mere four weeks after his arrest which never happened
in the first place.  No American trial based on a felony charge ever starts soon-
er than eight months to eighteen months or so after an arrest.

In addition, it was long since reported to me that Bendig said that one of the
provisions of his out-of-court settlement was that he stay out of all Pittsburgh
Catholic Churches.  Of course, this was proven to be a lie when Bishop David
Zubik, public accomplice of Bendig's ongoing fraud, welcomed Bendig back
to church and then had a newspaper report on it.  In that instance, Bendig was
more than allowed to enter a Pittsburgh church.  Furthermore, such a provision
is a violation of Canon Law and the United States Constitution.  Thus, Bendig
lessened his non-existent credibility even more so.  That claim can be assumed
to be an outright lie.  Bendig said that he was banned from entering Catholic
Churches in the Pittsburgh Diocese.  But, he NEVER proved.  Bendig never
proved anything.  Rather, I disproved Bendig.

Bendig is not bright enough to know that, if he were to publicly come forth
and finally admit that he lied about Cipolla, Bendig that he would receive an
entire new crew of protectors.  Plus, in receiving an out-of-court settlement,
one is making no claims of having been harmed.  You are literally being paid
to close the case, forget about it, and move on in life, when you sign an out-of-
court settlement.  Bendig keeps harping on the case.  Interestingly enough, he
NEVER speaks of an instance of the abuse which he claimed happens.  In my
personal experience with true sex abuse victims, the victims eventually con-
fides an intimate element of the abuse.  Bendig has NOT done so.

All in all, in that Summer of 2014 telephone conversation, Bendig permanent-
ly buried himself in layers of lies.  Ladies and gentlemen of the court of public
opinion, I, Patrick Anthony Pontillo, possessor of three simultaneous security
clearances, state to you that I witnessed Tim Bendig be a consecutive liar on
a firsthand basis.

There is a moral obligation to restore the destroyed life and destroyed reputation
of Anthony Cipolla.  This is all Donald Wuerl's fault, and Wuerl must be brought
to justice for this ... for the Torquato Retaliations ... for the games he played with
Fr. Huff ... for covering up Wolk, Zula, and Pucci ... for what he did to a credible
whistle blower Wuerl whom made sure would never be ordained into the priest-
hood ... for willful violations of pivotal church laws ... for permitting Sodomite
Masses ... for turning consecrated churches into joke-type restaurants and even
a movie set for a less-than-moral movie ... for his abridgement of doctrines of
the Faith ... for his indifference toward sweatshop victims, etc.

Yes, I Spoke with Mark Ninehouser and he said that he never arrested Cipolla and never filled-out any police report in cursive handwriting.



However, he did say that his badge number was 46, as Randy Engel
claimed, and that his partner's badge number was 37.  However, he
was NOT a detective, as the same Randy Engel claimed.  Therefore,
Engel got everything wrong except for the two badge numbers, in
her nightmarish narration of an arrest which has now been 100%
proven to never have existed.

In late February of 2017, I finally made contact with ... and conversed at will with ... one of the two police officers who responded to Diane Thompson's phone call to the police, in 1978.

Randy Engel stated that they arrested Cipolla.  In fact, Engel stated that they were detectives.  No, they weren't.  None the less, one of the two police officers whom Engel claimed to have arrested Anthony Cipolla categorically stated that he did NOT do so.  

Randy Engel didn't merely accuse Anthony Cipolla of molestation.  She accused him of harassment and terrorism, all the while stating that the Bishop of Pittsburgh at the time and the Allegheny County DA at the time were accomplices to such criminal conduct.

It has now been proven to be a lie that a young Frank Labiaux ... eldest son of a Diane Thompson whose timeline identifies her as a teenage pregnancy queen .... vandalized a church out of sheer frustration for having been molested.  Two entirely different youth were arrested for doing so.  

Being that this Frank Labiaux is a proven liar in the church vandalism case, one can plausibly conclude that he also lied about being molested.   Whatever be the case, Frank Labiaux made his debut, by instantly destroying his credibility.

Then comes the Eggshell Skull Rule, where Anthony Cipolla was forced to endure the stress heaped upon him by libel and defamation.

As I stated perhaps twenty times previously ... and which never sunk into Randy Engel's mind ... Donald Wuerl used the Cipolla Case to finally get out of the spotlight placed on him by Washington County DA John C Pettit.  

This Cipolla case was also a diversion for the Edwar Huff indictment.  The over-ampliflication of the Cipolla case made the Edward Huff indictment largely unknown by the Pittsburgh people, even though it did make the mainstream media newspaper, at the time.

For those unaware, Diane Thompson and Randy Engel made elaborate and damning accusations against 1} Anthony Cipolla, 2} former DA Bob Colville, and 3} the late Bishop Vincent Leonard, concerning the assertion that Cipolla molested her son, Tucker, in 1978.  

The added assertion which was never prefixed with the lawsuit-prevention word, ALLEGED, was that massive and violent retaliation occurred after Thompson "filed charges."  No civilian has the power to "file charges."

You see, Engel asserted that an M.N. "Nehouser," Badge #46, and an R. Fogle,Badge #37 arrested Cipolla for molestation, and then filled out an Incidence Report.  Engel also claimed that those two officersd hung by Diane Thompson's side, telling her to not "drop charges, de-
spite all of the harassment she was going to get.   The narration all turnedmout to be a fraudulent misrepresentation in all features of the case, except for the officers' badge numbers.

In fact, in 1995, Thompson narrated a harrowing tale to a Pittsburgh Post Gazette writer on how disappointed the two detectives looked when she "dropped charges," with tears in her eyes, in the DA's office, signing a paper that she couldn't read, due to the tears in the eyes.  

That story ... and the story of her youngest son vandalizing a church out of the frustration of having been molested ... have all now been proven to be libel.  Provable lies.  Orchestrated falsehoods conjured by one of the most incompetent liars you can encounter.

Let us proceed:

To start, the Detective "M.N. Nehouser," was uniformed police officer Mark Ninehouser.  None the less, Mark remembered the case and said that:

... all that he did was take a report from Thompson, and then filled out a form by means of hand-printing it, and NOT handwriting it with cursive handwriting.  He said that he simply handed the report to the detectives, and that was it.  Nothing more was done by him.  Thus:::::

1} Mark Ninehouser did NOT arrest Cipolla.  2} He was not called back to Diane Thompson's home, to respond to a call that she made, reporting that Cipolla was at her kitchen door.  3}  Plus, Mark was not called to the scene of any face-slapping of nine year old Tucker by a 70 year old man.  That account also turned-out to be a lie told by Diane Thompson. 

4} Mark was also NOT called to respond to Diane Thompson's home, on account of any rock throwing incident which broke one of her windows.  All in all:

That which happened was NOT done in the way described by Randy Engel or by the media in their 1990s reports about Cipolla.  Let's Review:   

Concerning police officer, Mark Ninehouser, who respond
to Diane Thompson's original phone call to the police:

1}  He categorically stated that he NEVER put any Catholic priest in hand cuffs in 1978, including Anthony Cipolla.  Neither he nor his partner Robert W. Fogle arrested Cipolla.

1b}  Ninehouser was NOT a detective.  He said that he took the report of Diane Thompson's accusations and handed it to the real detectives.

1c}  At this point, the following must absolutely be remembered:

Randy Engel wrote that Diane Thompson started getting harassed by Cipolla on July 30, 1978, upon which she called Ninehouser (misspelled as Nehouser by Engel) and Officer Fogle.  

Former Officer Ninehouser categorically stated to me that, after he handed his hand-printed report to the detectives, he walked away from the Diane Thompson case.  Thus, she did NOT call him, saying that Cipolla was in the house.  He did NOT say to her, "Diane, they are going to try to harass you into dropping charges.  So, be strong and stand your ground." Etc.

And and and he most certainly did NOT go to her home after "she was forced to drop charges" and give her a copy of the Incidence Report which apparently was a counterfeited one filled out by a non-police officer under the guise that it was done by a police officer.  He did not walk up to her and say, "You're going to need this one day."

The whole account about the detectives was a completely fraudulent misrepresentation, and the detectives mentioned by Engel weren't even detectives.

2}  Keep in mind that I stated that the Incidence Report which is mentioned by Randy Engel, part of which was photographed and put online, looked like a forgery.  For those unaware, the online photo which was purported to be the Incidence Report of 1978 was handwritten with crowded handwriting and the letter "l" always being looped widely.   The reason why that photograph was the photo
of a forgery ... of a fraud ... is very simple:

         Honorably retired Mark Ninehouser said that he and his fellow
         police officers were required to print (hand-print) all police re-
         ports.  No cursive handwriting was permitted.  

The fact that the photo purported to be the actual Incidence Report of 1978 is handwritten with cursive writing ... and not hand-printed ...    proves that the sheet of paper called "the one remaining piece of evidence" by Randy Engel is a very counterfeited fraud.  No police officer of the 1970s would have filled-out the report in that fashion.

3}  Randy Engel stated that Cipolla was arraigned "at City Court" in a Pittsburgh Police Station.  This is a complete lie, because no arraignment ever took place in a police station.  ALL arraignments took place in one of two places:
                                                  1}  At Grant Street, at one time.
                                                        or
                                                   2} At City NIGHT COURT.

Cipolla was never arraigned, because he was NEVER arrested.  He was accused in a private criminal complaint and served with a SUMMARY NOTICE only signed by Diane Thompson.  She was to appear in city
court ... at the Public Safety Building ... and state due cause as to why Cipolla should be arrested.  It was a hearing equal to a preliminary hearing, but without the accuser having been first arrested.  It was a hearing that would judge if Cipolla were to be arrested or not.

4}  There is NOT any mistaken identity of police officers in this case,
being that Mark Ninehouser remembers the case in outline form, and
being that Randy Engel did get his badge number and Robert Fogle's
number completely correct.  Mark's badge number actually was 46,
and Robert's actually was 37, as Engel stated.  BUT, they were NOT
detectives.

In addition, there was ... at the time ... a #9 Police Station in the Northside, located on Federal Street.  So, that part was gotten correct by Engel.  But, there were NEVER arraignments taking place at any police station.

In addition, Engel stated that the incidence report was signed M.N.
Nehouser.  So, I asked Mark what the N stood for.  He said that he
did NOT have a middle name.

Once again, for those who are incredibly prejudiced against Cipolla:

5}  Rest assured that there was NO CALL to the police that a 70 year old man working at any kind of a store slapped Tucker in the face, for having accused Anthony Cipolla of wrong-doing.

6} Rest assured that no one called the police and reported a rock smashing through any window at the residence of Diane Thompson and her children.


Take note that Mark was very articulate, talkative, and easy-going in his conversation with me.  He did not stop to think of what he was going to say.  He did not have time lapses of  momentary silence.  He simply spoke spontaneously, hiding nothing.  He and I were literally shooting the breeze, it was that easy-going of a conversation.

There is more to convey to you.  The bottom line is that two parts of the three-part Randy Engel article that damns Anthony Cipolla and the late Bishop Vincent Leonard to the Depths of Hell is complete libel.  

For now, you have enough substantive information that it should easily break the hypnotic trance that Engel has on the weak-minded & gullible.  he is NOT a guardian of Truth, Justice, and the American Way.  She's a gossipy and libelous hag who actually thinks that the historic red Shoes of the Fisherman are homosexual shoes.

I give you your freedom from Randy Engel's influence and her pretense of being the deliverer of truth and her hatred of the Shoes of the Fisherman.  Be free.

Till the next time,

Patrick Anthony Pontillo

In America, Truth ends up prevailing.

I Traced Officer Mark Ninehouser through the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steeler's football stadium stands very close to the world famous 
Three Rivers Confluence of Western Pennsylvania.   Yes, the investigation of the 
Anthony Cipolla Case brought us to the National Football League, being that the 
most important witness in the 1978 case became employed b y the NFL.

The Anthony Cipolla Case was the one flaunted by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette like a neon sign.  However, the first thing to remember about it is this:  

Accuser Tim Bendig ... only after he filed a lawsuit through the local masonic lawyer ... tried to get Cipolla indicted for molestation in two Western Pennsylvanian counties.  The investigators of both counties found NO CORROBORATING EVIDENCE and refrained from filing any criminal charges against Cipolla.

Plus, in 1978, it was not until Diane Thompson was told by Cipolla that the local parish does not pay the rent of signal mothers did she accuse him of molestation.  Concerning this, there was only one PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING, scheduled to determine IF there were any signs of criminal conduct which would lead to a criminal indictment.  The case was dismissed after that probable cause hearing.  Cipolla was NOT arrested or arraigned in 1978 or in 1988 or 1989 or 1990. 

      Below:  Anthony Cipolla with John Paul II and famous author John Hardon.  

                World famous author, John Hardon, believed in Cipolla's character


Let us now proceed to the original starting point of this post:

Every time Cipolla accuser, Diane Thompson, got caught lying, she changed her story.   She and her accomplice in libel,  Randy Engel,  needed to overhaul that story, especially when it comes to the signature at the bottom of a sheet of paper that Engel called the last remaining piece of evidence which was handwritten in cursive writing.  Well, cursive handwriting for police reports, was  contrary to Pittsburgh police regulations at the time.  Concerning this, that sheet of paper was NOT filled-out or signed by any police officer, especially a detective.

Mark Ninehouser is the man whom Randy Engel called "M.N. Nehouser."  She claimed that he was a detective in 1978.  He was NOT.  He was an uniformed officer.

Now, Engel claimed that there were two detectives in the 1978 Cipolla case.  In 1978, each case had one detective assigned to it.  The two gentleman mentioned by Engel were simply the uniformed officers who went to her home and recorded her allegations on paper.

The fact that Mark was not a detective, alone, tossed the whole Cipolla Retaliation scenario out the door as a sophomorically contrived fraudulent misrepresentation.  This is because the 1978 Accusing Mother claimed to the media and later to Engel that two detectives kept in constant contact with her, encouraging her "to hang in there and NOT drop charges," no matter how much she gets harassed."

And of course, only DA or a judge can drop criminal charges."  It looks like someone on the liars' side of the aisle was watching too many fictional CBS detective shows, in the 1970s.

And and and, that sheet of paper which Engel called the last remaining piece of evidence, in itself, was NOT the proof itself, being that it was merely the accusation of a private citizen and NOT the witness account of a police officer which gets placed on a police form.  

Mark Ninehouser expressly made it known to me ... verbally ... that he did NOT sign such a sheet of paper and that he would not have written any such report in cursive handwriting.

That retaliation story of a DA harassing Diane Thompson inyo dropping charges that only a DA or a judge can drop, now proven false, was the entire foundation stone of Thompson's entire  nightmarish tale.  

That tale is now proven to have been a lie from Stage 1.  I told Engel, over the phone, that the Cipolla Case was an easily provable fraud.  Engel's article which possessed numerous provable falsehoods made the  Cipolla Case even more easy to prove as a fraud.  The more they damned Cipolla him, the more fallacious they were discovered to be.

For those new to law, that sheet of paper which Engel called the last remaining piece of evidence was merely the setting forth of accusations.  That thing created the BURDEN OF PROOF.  It was not proof (evidence) in itself.  

Plus, Mark Ninehouser expressly made it known that he did NOT sign such a sheet of paper and that he would never have written it in cursive handwriting.  Thus, we have a case of fraud, here.  Yes, that which Engle so arrogantly proclaimed as evidence was a forgery.

  Killer Hags.                   Killer Crones.                   Libel Kills.
Way to go, Engel ... and her New Jersey Conspiracy Theory Sidekick.
Nobody messes with you.
After he retired from the Pittsburgh police force, Mark Ninehouser became an employee in the security department of the National Football League.  For my friends in Russia, the Ukraine, and elsewhere in Europe, the NFL is the most prestigious league on earth for American Football.

Now, if Mark Ninehouser were not employed by the NFL, I would have never tracked him down.  Just thought I'd mention it, in order to give the aspiring investigative journalists out there a feel for what it's like to do true investigative journalism . . . as opposed to the farcical type done by Randy Engel, in her hairdryer salon form of gossip.

For those new here, Mark Ninehouser was claimed to have been one of the two police officers who arrested the man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla.  This was claimed as true by Randy Engel and Diane Thompson-Labiaux-Mangum-Whatever.  He told me that he never did so.

In fact, Mark become instantly curious as to the mystical sheet of paper which bore his name and his correct badge number.  When I said that the sheet was signed "badge #46,"  Mark said, "That was my badge number."

 I then mentioned "badge #37," upon which Mark said that it\ was definitely the badge number of his former work partner.  The problem is that Mark Ninehouser never signed any sheet of paper titled,  Offense/Incident Report.

Now, Engel and Thompson both claimed that Ninehouser (incorrectly spelled Nehouser) was a detective in 1978.  He was not.  Therefore, no signature on any such sheet of paper had any significance to it.

FURTHERMORE, for such a paper to have gained legal weight to it, it needed to have been signed by an assistant DA, and not a detective or an uniformed police officer.  The sheet of paper was actually the 1970s version of the Private Criminal Complaint ... not the Police Complaint.

Aside of getting Mark's last name wrong, while getting his badge number correct, Randy Engel stated that he  1} was a detective,   2} told Diane Thompson to take young Tucker to a hospital,  3} was then given a medical report from a physician at the same hospital which stated that "traces" of a lubricant used to molest Tucker was still lingering on Tucker,  4} was telephoned by Diane Thompson on July 30, 1978, to go over to her home where Cipolla was standing as an intruder, clad in a cassock,  5} filled out a report called an Offense/Incidence (or Incident) Report and signed it, along with his partner, Robert Fogle.

Now, in October of 1995, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported that two detectives were called to the hospital bedside of a young molested boy who was molested by Anthony Cipolla.  Thus, we have yet another instance of contradictory assertions-allegations-averments between the 1995 newspaper article that damned Cipolla to the innermost recesses of infamy, while Randy Engel's 2016 article which damned the same Anthony Cipolla to the innermost recesses of Hell.

The only thing that was true about this nightmarish narration written by the less than factual Randy Engel was Mark's badge number and Robert Fogle's badge number.  For the record, today Pittsburgh Police officers have four-digit badge numbers.

All in all, Mark was NOT a detective.  He was NOT called to any hospital to attend to a Tucker Thompson who was reported as having been molested. Mark was NOT given any medical report by any physician pertaining to the young Tucker Thompson.  

Nor did he suggest to Diane Thompson that the young Tucker needed to go to a hospital.  In addition, Mark Ninehouser was NOT telephoned by Diane Thompson on July 30, 1978, and he did NOT go over to Thompson's residence to respond to an Anthony Cipolla intrusion.

In fact, Mark was NOT in the DA's office with Diane Thompson, bearing a look of disappointment at her signing papers with tears in her eyes, and and and Mark was NOT called to respond to Tucker being slapped in the face by any 70 year merchant or any younger aged merchant ... or anyone at all.

And and and, Officer Mark Ninehouse was NOT called to respond to any claim that Diane Thompson's residence was vandalized by a stone being thrown through a window.  Furthermore, there was NO CALL for Mark to respond to any report of any tire belonging to any car of Diane Thompson being slashed.

In addition, there was NO MAN IN THE HOUSE during July of 1978.  This is pertinent, being taht Randy Engel made it sound as if there were a dad there throughout the entire time, psychologically impaired.   NO.  Thompson .... at that time .... in July of 1978 ... was the stereotypical single mom.  She and Engel lied yet again.

All in all, Officer Mark Ninehouser only took a statement from Thompson and then printed-out a report on her averments, followed by him giving the report to the actual detectives..  If there were a man of the house living in the Thompson residence in June and July of 1978, then he was the Invisible Man.

That ENTIRE story which damned Anthony Cipolla to the depths of Hell was FALSE, except for the mention of the badge numbers of Officers Ninehouser and Fogle.

Moreover, there was a photo placed online purported to have been the only piece of evidence remaining in the 1978 Cipolla case.  It was a photo of part .... and only part ... of the Offense/Incident Report which Engel claimed was filled-out by either Mark Ninehouser and Robert Fogle and then signed by both officers whom she identified as detectives.

Well, the description of the crime committed on that sheet of paper was handwritten in cursive handwriting, meaning that NO POLICE OFFICER in Heaven, Earth, Purgatory, or Hell filled the sheet of paper out.  This is because Pittsburgh police officers were forbidden to fill-out their reports in cursive handwriting. They were required to hand-print their reports.  In as much, were those signatures anything other than forgeries?

Keep in mind that Mark was surprised to hear that his name and badge number was on that particular sheet of paper.

The flag of the Sovereign State of Pennsylvania, where within
there are statutes against Libel and Wrongful Death, as well
as the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.

NOW . . . after having received the information that I received from the in-good-standing though retired police officer, Mark Ninehouser, the Cipolla Case became a matter of CASE CLOSED.

Other evidentiary findings during this particular time were uncovered also, confirming that Diane Thompson and even her son, Frank Labiaux, are liars.  For example, it was found that a 12 year old Frank Labiaux did NOT vandalize a nearby church by means of a fire extinguished in 1977, as an act of retaliation for having been molested.  This is because the vandalism of the nearby AME Church  was done by a 14 and a 15 year old TWICE, in November of 1978.

The first time involved the fire extinguisher vandalism and the second time  (Nov 17, 1978) involved the two vandals slitting tires in the AME parking lot, while the congregants were attending a "tent revival" type of service.

Plus, Diane Thompson changed her story about the place where Frank was "allegedly" molested.  She originally told the 1990s press .... and me in 2014 ... that Frank was molested by Cipolla on the property of the PIME seminary, in Michigan.   I then found a witness who went to the PIME seminary with Cipolla and even Tim Bendig.

The witness said that no sexual harassment or molestation of any kind occurred.  Therefore, Thompson changed her story, by saying that it happened in a motel, while Cipolla, Frank, and other lads where in Michigan, to see the Henry Ford Museum.

In continuing with Diane Thompson's unbroken pattern of pathological lies, she boldly stated that she drove to Pittsburgh at her own financial expense and gave a deposition for the Bendig lawsuit.  I then announced to the reading public that the entire package of depositions in the Bendig lawsuit were found and sent to Europe at a relatively hefty price.  I then mentioned that THERE WAS NO NO NO DIANE THOMPSON DEPOSITION in the package.

So, what did the same Diane Thompson do, in response to having been caught lying yet again?  ANS:  She claimed that the deposition was only video taped.  To her asininity, there still would have been the legal requirement, under the Rules of Discover, to submit a copy of the video-taped deposition to the defense team headed by my former neighbor, John Alan Conte.  Incidentally, John said that Diane Thompson was "an adroit liar."

Once again, deep appreciation from Anthony Cipolla's brother Vince, certain close friends of the late Anthony Cipolla, and from me goes to honorably retired police officer, Mark Ninehouser for the information that he amicably volunteered and provided to us all.  It was a tremendous relief.  It was liberating.


This is a multiple topic post.  It also covers Cipolla's transfers to parishes in his early years ... during the mid-1970s, when American culture was much different than today.

This post furthermore covers the comment made by the New Jersey Conspiracy Theory sidekick of Randy Engel, in her stating that Diane Thompson choose not to sue the Diocese of Pittsburgh in 1978, as if Thompson were a noble and self-giving person.

The reason why that comment is an extreme insult to me is addressed.  It has to do with my mother dying when I was young.  A hospital blood transfusion killed her, but only after a long and painful illness.  Lots of pain.  Lots of pain.

We family members, in our graciousness, decided not to sue the hospital under the logic, "Well, it won't bring back mom.  So, what's the point?"

In as much, it is deeply offensive to see the vicious, insulting, and lying Diane Thompson being counted among the self-giving and me ... the guy who sues everybody, according to Thompson.

Uhhhhhm,  I have not filed a personal lawsuit since the Year 2000.  That amounts to TWENTY-SIX years ago.  So, Thompson once again lied about me.

Randy Engel's great downfall is that she is not a team-player.  She is merely out for herself.  She's the overly domineering hag who wants to run the show and be the queen.  It's her way or the highway.

Well, she'll be dethroned in due time.  But for now, she shows no signs of remorse for inflicting the added amount of stress that was imposed upon heart patient, Anthony Cipolla ... an amount of stress that did kill him, in 2018.  And of course, it was during Engel's doing of the three-part article when Cipolla ever so coincidentally died of a heart attack.

Engel and her New Jersey Conspiracy Theory friend couldn't let Cipolla rest with his diabetes, bypass surgery heart condition, and his neuropathy (intense back pain included).  Naaaaaah.  Not them.

Engel couldn't let Anthony get a drop of emotional rest.  Then, after Cipolla died, Engel just couldn't spare pain from being inflicted upon the same Anthony Cipolla's own family members.  She had to write the most damning article anyone could have written about Cipolla.  But, she included a narration of Pennsylvania criminal procedure which did NOT exist, instantly showing what a farce that article was and is.

None then less, mighty Randy Engel had to reek further havoc on the
Cipolla family reputation.  Now, I had the Cipolla situation completely monitored, to see if he were a molester or not.  I then discovered that there was no need for monitoring.  In as much, to think that I was the one who spoke the most with Cipolla during the last three years of his life was an erroneous thought.

He had ample telephone contact with others, being that he still had a
following.  None the less, the most common thing Cipolla said to me
through the years was  "I have another call coming.  I have to take 
this call."

Furthermore, Diane Thompson made it sound as if I had no sources
of information and that I only wrote what Cipolla told me to write.
Oh no.  Nobody tells me what to write.

In as much, in order to be a great leader, you have to first prove that
you faithfully take orders and follow them.  None the less, when it
came to the Cipolla Case, I wrote as I saw fit.

Mike Volpe of Chicago autonomously wrote what he willed about
the case, and others spoke about the case from their free will.  No
one was anyone's puppet.

In fact, as I previously stated, not only was I NOT Cipolla's puppet,
Cipolla and I had mini-World-War-III over the telephone more than
once.  After all, Donald Wuerl brings out the worst in everybody.
He surely brought out the worst in me.  None the less, I was NOT
Cipolla's yesman and he surely was not mine.

I wrote only that which could be backed-up with evidentiary support
and corroborative witness accounts, as well as an occasional expert
witness conveyance.  After all, I kept telling the public to test my
writings for cracks.  So, go ahead and test my posts about Cipolla,
Ference, the Seminary Whistleblower, and Torquato's accuser for
cracks, along with my writings on Wolk, Zula, Pucci, Hoehl, Huff,
etc for cracks and contradictions.

Of course, I originally opened the lines of communication with
Anthony Cipolla, because I was asked to meet with him.  I then
kept the lines open with him, waiting for him to confess that he
molested Diane Thompson's two sons.  Then the evidence came
in, and everything alleged about Cipolla turned out to be a sick
joke.

When the truth was finally found, I ended up saying, "You idiots!
Why didn't anyone show me this stuff sooner?"

While we are at it . . .

Let's address Engel's insinuation that Cipolla had to have been a
serial molester, being that he received more parish assignments
than is regarded as normal by today's standards.

1}  As was observed in the history of the Diocese of Pittsburgh,
     when a priest commits sexual abuse, what is done with him???
   
     ANS:  He is first moved OUT OF STATE.  Hoehl to Toronto.
    Wolk, Zula, and Pucci to Maryland.    Edward Huff to St. Louis.
     Esposito to Arkansas.  Torquato to Rome, "to finish his educa-
     tion."  Etc.

     Now, was Cipolla sent out of state in the 1970s?  ANS:  NO.

     In as much, the story of Diane Thompson being told by then
     Bishop Vincent Leonard that Cipolla was diagnosed with a
     severe form of sexual pathology was nothing more than the
     story of a repeatedly proven liar.  She fabricated the story.
     She lied.  I saw the psychiatric paperwork.  It has my finger-
     prints on it.  Mike Volpe saw the digital version of Cipolla's
     psychiatric assessment.  No sexual perversity mentioned.
     Only Depression and Suicidal Tendencies.

2} Cipolla's last two assignments were five years each.  That is a
     lot of time to be posted anywhere as a diocesan priest.  More-
     over, the early 1970s were the Vietnam Years, followed by
     the Peace, Love, Brotherhood, and College Campus LSD
     days.  They were the "I have to find myself" days, as well
     as the Kwai Chang Caine (of Kung Fu fame) days, where
     people have the idea of searching for the truth, mingled
     with the onset of college campus hedonism.  Now, Cipolla
     was trained at a missionary seminary which had the mission-
      ary mindset . . . the traveling mindset.

     Plus, plus, plus, during the 1970s, Pittsburgh was one of the
     most prosperious cities on Earth.  There was not yet the priest
     shortage that accompanied the Donald Wuerl years.  A priest
     was NOT bound to a parish out of logistical desperation on
     the part of the bishop who couldn't attract enough seminari-
     ans.  Cipolla's goal was a Padre Pio Franciscan-type Mission.
     And he WAS extremely popular during his Padre Pio days.

     All in all, Cipolla was never shipped out of state during the
     1970s.  That was the tell-sign ... tale-sign.

Then came the theatrics which made Thompson and her family
look like a monastery of saintly heroes.  The "second dad" was
said to have gone through an accident and explosion at a mili-
tary base that did NOT exist as one since 1946.  None the less,
the easy sign of a liar and double sensationalism, such as an
accident and explosion.

Thompson's fatal is that fairy tale consisted in her omitting the
#1 symptom that all guys get when in an explosion.  That of
ringing in the ears.  My dad, of course, was a decorated Air
Force combat veteran who even saw and heard the right wing
airship blow into a ball of fire while the bomb group was over
its target.  Dad suffered from chronic ringing in the ears.  So,
the description of that accident and explosion that was said to
have occurred at a base no longer in operation was sophomor-
ic.

The Engel article made the Thompson clan sound like a clan of
saints.  Way over the top.  Then, the woman who provoked En-
gel into writing the article had the audacity to state that Thomp-
son heroically refrained from suing the diocese.  Well, the tale
of Diane Thompson was go bogus at face value that no lawyer
would waste his/her time with it.  I've explained the fallacies
set forth as face, especially in the description of criminal pro-
cedure narrated by Thompson through Engel and the Pitts-
burgh Post Gazette of years past.

Proof that Thompson elected to not sue the diocese out of the
goodness of her heart is that Thompson publicly sought to get
a law firm to sue me.  Of course, her story is such a farce that
no law firm would waste their time with her.  The New Jersey
Conspiracy Theory Housewife was more than willing to lie,
and she was more than willing to believe a story of criminal
procedure that didn't come close to having ever existed.  An
SNL skit couldn't be more ridiculous then the narration found
in the Engel three-part article.
