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, to show Wuerl's egregious degree of premeditated deception.  

November 2023 Update:

Concerning the claim that Cipolla had BODY SORES

I was contacted recently ... 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.  

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.

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.

The 2016 Randy Engel Article: Fact-checked falsehoods w/ contradictions of previous testimony

August 30. 2016.  The intersection of Clermont and Elm, in Warren Ohio

NOTE:  The PA Grand Jury report on Anthony Cipolla is much different than

the hyper-exaggerated stories of 1995, 2015, and 2016.  The Randy Engel

version is a showcase in out-of-touch-with-reality conspiracy theories.  It

was beyond pathetic.  In as much, it's the tamed versions of a priest cover-

up which has credibility, being that the church was dealt in pernicious &

subtle pea-and-shell game approaches in sexual aggression cases.  She

should have simply waited for the 2018 PA Grand Jury Report to have

come, and if she thinks that her overly-sensationalistic version is like

the PA Grand Jury Report, then the aged women is psychotic.  Her

version is a pathetic embarrassment to any writer who seeks reality.

Thesis Statement:

The November 2016 article of Randy Engel proved how much of a liar is Di-

ane Thompson, because the allegations of Diane Thompson stated in Randy

Engel's article contradicts the October 13, 1995 article that quoted Thompson

on two pages of newspaper print.

Whether Cipolla committed molestation or not, Diane Thompson IS a liar, and

I concur with famed journalist Jason Berry, of Maciel Fame, on this case.  Mr.

Berry stated that the Cipolla Case was a "peculiar one from the start."  My ex-

act quote on the case was that:

If Cipolla did molest and then harass anyone, it was not the way Diane Thomp-

son narrated it.  I also said:  This is the one case where you can't believe any-

one who was there in 1978, with any degree of confidence.

The 2016 Engel Article, prelude to Cipolla's fatal auto wreck which occurred during some type of incapacitated heart dysfunction.

I was alerted to the existence of a November 2016 article by Randy Engel where within she claimed to have interviewed one of Diane Thompson's two sons.  It would sound like a trustworthy article, and it contained new allegations which were fact-checked and proven false.  The allegations of criminal procedure do NOT correlate with the actual Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.

In order to cut to the chase and give examples of the falsehoods which appear

in the November 2016 Engel article, it was alleged by Diane Thompson that

she had to pay a $45 admission fee, in order for her eldest son, Frank, to go

to the Michigan summer camp that was held on the seminary grounds of the

Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.  She made herself out to be the har-

rowed and heavily burdened martyr who had to sacrifice greatly, to pay the

$45 admittance fee.

NEWSFLASH:  I was in directcontact with a family who has two sons who were in Cipolla's company very often.  One of the two gentlemen attended the exact same Michigan seminary summer camp as did Diane Thompson's eldest son, though in a different year.  

This particular youth traveled to Michigan with the Tim Bendig who claimed to have been molested by Cipolla for consecutive years.   According to that gentlemen and his mom, they did NOT have to pay any $45 fee.  Diane Thompson lied yet again.

Furthermore, the gentleman said that NOTHING suspicious between Cipolla and Bendig was ever observed by him.  However, he did say, "Tim was weird.   Really weird."

Furthermore, he stated that Cipolla never tried anything on him.  He is in the approximate, though general, age range as is Frank Labieaux, the son whom Thompson claims was molested by Cipolla in Michigan.

At this point, it is important for the reader to know of the existence of the long

Pittsburgh Post Gazette which quotes Diane Thompson's damning allegations

against Anthony Cipolla and then-Bishop Vincent Leonard, all the while keep-

ing Thompson's name anonymously held in confidence.  It appeared in the

OCTOBER 13, 1995 EDITION OF THE PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE.

Pages A-16 and A-17, as well as the front page.

As an example of how the Engel article contradicts the allegations of Diane

Thompson in the October 13, 1995 Pittsburgh Post Gazette article that at-

tacks Cipolla's character to the depths:

IN the October 1995 Pittsburgh Post Gazette article, Thompson stated that

she had TWO daughters in a "first marriage" and TWO sons in a "second

marriage."  IN the Nov 2016 Engel article, Thompson claimed to have three

sons and one daughter, and that Tucker Thompson and Frank Labieaux 

had different dads.  According to her in 1995, Frank and tucker had the 

same dad.

The fact is the she did have three sons, and one of the three's 2009 obituary 

can be readily found online.  Nothing about his death is mentioned.  In as much,

Thompson lied to the Pittsburgh Press on that allegation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As another example, the Engel article alleged that Cipolla was taken into police

custody, thereby being officially arrested.  The Engel article then stated that the

same Anthony Cipolla was released on his own "cognizance," and was told to

reappear for his arraignment.  Stop there.  This is the writing of someone who

does not know the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Firstly, a person is only released on his own recognizance by a judge at the

person's arraignment.  The arraignment is simply the bail hearing where it's 

surmised if the defendant is 1} a flight risk, 2} a danger, 3} no physical

threat, etc.  The defendant is also checked if he/she has to automatically

be placed on "detainer."  For example, if the defendant was arrested 

while being on parole, that person gets an automatic detainer.  If that 

is the case, then the defendant is denied bail.

When you are officially arrested, you are held overnight, and then sent to 

your arraignment pronto.   You don't go home and wait for arraignment, 

BECAUSE the arraignment is the official assessment that sees if you get

to go home, in the first place.

________________________________________________________________

The Engel article also stated that detectives from Police Station #9 were sent

to Cipolla's Northside residence.

Firstly, there are only SIX police zones in Pittsburgh.  The North Side of 

Pittsburgh is Zone #1 ... not #9. 

Now, in Pittsburgh Police history,  Police Station #9 was/is located on Mount

Washington, in the South Side of Pittsburgh, and NOT on the North Side of

Pittsburgh, as Randy Engel claimed.

PLUS, PLUS, PLUS:  Engel stated that there was one piece of evidence that re-

remained in tact, certain the Diane Thompson case that accused Cipolla of moles-

tation.  It was the Offense/Incidence Report, signed by a couple detectives.

Uhhhhm,  ladies and gentlemen, that is NOT evidence.  That is the PRIVATE 

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT FORM as was used in the 1970s.  I filled out a

couple of those Offense/Incidence Report, in order to have criminal charges

filed against certain persons.  I'm no stranger to it.  

All in all, there is a difference between the accusation and the evidence.  That 

sheet was the accusation.  It was NOT the police officer's or detective's affi-

davit.  Proof consists in the fact that, at the right hand side of the paper, 

there is a box where it is asked, "Do you want to prosecute."

Now, police NEVER prosecute.  Thus, no page of legal procedure will ask a

policeman if he/she wants to prosecute.  It is a question to civilians.  I already

explained how the Private Criminal Complaint works in Pennsylvania.  For

starters, the initial paperwork is filed at a magistrate's office.  Diane Thomp-

son neglected to tell any journalist that she was in need of filing at Baldy

Reagan's office.  Baldy Reagan was a Pittsburgh magistrate.

In as much, a detective might have filled it out for a citizen who had trouble

filling it out, or a detective might have dictated what the citizen needed to

write.  It was not his legally binding testimony.

None the less, a question should immediately pop into your mind.  Q: Why 

would a citizen go to a magistrate to fill out a private criminal complaint 

form if he/she doesn't want to prosecute?  

ANS:  For insurance claim purposes.  The last time we had a police officer at

the Pittsburgh office, in reporting yet another burglary, we were asked if we want-

ed an investigation or if we just wanted a police report (with official CCR number)

to give to the insurance adjustors.

There are more ways to convince people who have no legal training that the report

to which Engel referred was NOT a police officer's report but only the private crim-

inal complaint

Once again, the thing which Randy Engel falsely called evidence was nothing

more than the private criminal complaint form.  In fact, it contains blocks

were the private citizen writes in the witnesses to the wrongs done, and their

contact information.

___________________________________________________________________

Cipolla was NEVER arrested or charged.  He was merely served a Summary 

Notice signed by Diane Thompson which instructed him to show up in City 

Court for a MOTIONS HEARING ... aka "Probable Cause Hearing" which

had the equal effect of a preliminary hearing.

It was part of a private citizen's private criminal complaint, where Thomp-

son was required to show due cause as to why the presiding judge was to 

"Issue Process" and have Anthony Cipolla indicted and arraigned.  But,

Diane Thompson withdrew her private criminal complaint shortly before 

the Motions Hearing, aka the hearing equivalent to a quasi-preliminary

lhearing.  Anthony Cipolla was NEVER in handcuffs.

__________________________________________________________

The 2016 Engel article mentions that Diane Thompson remarried in 1984.

The 1995 Pittsburgh Post Gazette NEVER mentioned this.  Instead, it stat-

ed that the "second marriage" guy was coming in and out of her life even in

1995.  Now, if that was happening, it was a bizarre setting of two de facto

husbands at the same time in her life.

Even at that, there are a string of contradictions of Thompson's allegations.

Here is another example:

I have digital evidence that it was alleged directly to me by a confidant of Di-

ane Thompson that Tucker told Diane that Anthony Cipolla had sores all over

his body.  NOW . . .

In the Engel article of 2016, the damning allegation was that Cipolla played

proctologist and invaded Tucker's private regions with one hand, while doing

an invasive sexual act upon Tucker front side with the other hand.  This would

mean that Cipolla was clothed.  So, how could Tucker see the sores?

____________________________________________________

In the 2016 Engel article, Thompson alleged that Frank Labieaux went to live

in Florida after being arrested for vandalizing a neighboring church.  She then

said that Frank called her from Florida, to tell her what Cipolla allegedly did

to him.  Well . . .

In the 1995 Post Gazette article, Thompson alleged that she sat down BOTH

of her sons, telling them that they were going to have to put the Cipolla inci-

dent out of their minds.  In order to do that, Frank had to have been in Pitts-

burgh.  So, where was he?  In Florida of Pittsburgh?  

Take note that, in the 1995 article she said that she only had TWO sons.  She had

three, one of whom died in 2009.  There is no information in print as to how he

died.  None the less, she had three sons and told the Post Gazette that she

only had two.

 ________________________________________________________________

The falsehoods and contradictions go on and on and on and on, in the November

2016 Engel article.  It severely contradicted the 1995 article that the Pittsburgh

Post Gazette published on the subject.  It was the article where Diane Thompson

was quoted as having alleged overly-theatrical things, while keeping Thompson's

name confidential.

The November 2016 article attributed to Randy Engel was at variance, in pertinent

part, with Diane Thompson's own 2015 & 2016 web log posts, as well.  It was also

different, in specific part, from the narration that Thompson gave to a certain per-

son who asked to be kept in anonymity.

The article was also at variance, in part, with the contents of the harassing, rude, and

derisive emails that Thompson sent to me in 2015.  I was compelled to block her in

short order, being that she was so podunk-trash-crass and intrusive.  The woman has

no temperance, to say the least.

When a Retraction is Needed

I learned from my lawyer conference that a person must first give a writer or editor

or published the opportunity to make retractions.  And the need must be stated in

specificity.

As an example in the Year 2015, someone not related to the Cipolla case wrote to

me about another subject about which I wrote.  That person definitively stated what

needed to be changed the third time he wrote to me.  I then changed what needed

to be changed on his third communication, being that the first two were too vague.

So, if there is an error on this site that needs correction, simply state it specifically

and get to the point.  I will then change it, if what you state it true.  If it's plausible,,

but not proven true, I'll add 'alleged.'

All that Diane Thompson did was attack and ridicule me.  Her first sentence to me

contained "bull s**t."  She didn't state what was erroneously stated in as far as went

names, dates, locations, spelling, etc.  She simply attacked my character.  If she only

would have acted civilized on the first, second, or even third email, I would have had

a series of conversations with her.  However, she is a liar, whether Cipolla molested

her two sons or not.  Her account of the Cipolla transactions, as appeared in the Pitts-

burgh Post.

Now, every time Thompson speaks to someone new, she tells a new and amended

story about Cipolla and her family.  Cipolla, on the other hand, to ld the same story,

inserting the same names, over and over.  It had gotten to the point where Cipolla

would tell me the same story, and I would start reciting it word-for-word.  He re-

sponded once by saying, "I'm trying to talk here," upon which I realized that he

kept telling me the same set of stories for the sake of emotional release.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:

Thompson said to a Pittsburgh Post Gazette journalist in 1995 that then-Bishop

Vincent Leonard instilled a sense of guilt in Diane Thompson for filing what

the Post Gazette in 1978 stated was a Summary Notice and what the 1995 Post

Gazette stated was the "filing of criminal charges."  Thompson said that Vincent

Leonard said that the Church had just lost two popes and her suffering greatly.

Well, the second pope to die in 1978 wasn't even elected pope yet.  This proved

Diane Thompson to be a liar.

Well, in the 2016 Randy Engel article, it is alleged that Bishop Leonard only

pointed out the one death of Paul VI.  Thus, Thompson changed her story yet

again.

In addition, it was proven that the Vatican Case against Cipolla only dealt

with his diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies, given by a doctor

of St. Luke's in Maryland.  It was a Psychic Defect case and did NOT cover

molestation. 

Plus, Ann Rodgers of the Post Gazette stated that Wuerl went to Rome with

a Police Arrest Report in his brief case.  No such thing ever existed.  Cipolla was

never arrested, never charged, never arraigned, etc.  This was being mentioned

numerous times
