Wuel had zero evidence against Cipolla before the famous Vatican rehearing

Above is the Tale of the Tape, and it goes as far back as 1993:

The famous Vatican rehearing on the Cipolla Case was scheduled for April 16, 1993.  The letter above was sent out on April 6th of the same year.

The diocese of Donald Wuerl was looking for character witnesses against Cipolla.  So, the diocese sent the request letter above to priests who served with or near Cipolla, in the quest for any statement of any kind which could make Cipolla look bad.  

Well, if Cipolla were the molester Tim Bendig and Diane Thompson said he was, then there would have been a treasure trove of evidence that would have utterly defeated Cipolla in any court.  But, there was not.  

Tim Bendig was proven to be a con artist.  

The 2016 Randy Engel article about Diane Thompson's accusations against Cipolla was scrupulously fact-checked and found to be a pack of lies.

And of course, Diane Thompson proved herself to be a liar in her having claimed that Anthony Cipolla was operating this site under an assumed name ... under a fake name ... under my name.  

She also said that you could search the internet all day and not find anything about me, meaning that I don't exist.  Well, Cipolla has been dead for ten years.  Yet, this site continues to be operated, and it's not his ghost that operates this site.  

In addition, Diane Thompson would send me emails, while publicly claiming that there is no evidence of my existence.  She even once sent an email to my Australian gal which really upset that Australian gal.  Some people value their privacy.

Well, my name is attached to a lot of things, including a driver's license and social security number, as well as an auto insurance policy, a bank account, and NUMEROUS purchase & invoice signatures for construction material.  

In fact, my name is attached to hundreds of writings and hundreds of photographs which have included photoshoots of entire cities such as ~Chicago, ~Pittsburgh, ~Baltimore, ~Gettysburg, ~Cleveland, and the oldest city in America, namely ~St. Augustine, Florida.  My photography has also included a national park, a state park, and two college campuses, in addition to Gettysburg. 

Then there are actual photos of me online ... of me with a lady here and a lady there ... as well as me with a college buddy here and a sports coach there ... with me operating heavy equipment, with me holding construction plans that novices call "blue prints," etc.  

There are also photos of my parents and other relatives, online.  Thus, Diane Thompson is a manipulative liar.

All in all, if Diane Thompson would lie about me so ridiculously, then she would lie about others.  In fact, if she could have made money lying about you, then she would have done so.  In fact, all that she is accomplished at doing is lying and mocking people.

Concerning Diane Thompson's eldest son, he proved himself to be a liar in the claim that he slashed the tires in a Black Methodist church parking lot.  Two lads were arrested for that crime long ago.  Neither one of them was Diane Thompson's eldest son.  She and he proved themselves to be liars ... liars for money ... six figures of US currency.  They both had a severe Conflict of Interest, as in $ $ $. 

Very Intense Research was done

The research into Diane Thompson's accusations, as well as her eldest son's, accusations was so intense that one of the two men who were claimed by Thompson to have been the detectives of the 1978 case was found and interviewed ... compliments of the Pittsburgh Steeler Organization.  And that man was NOT a detective in 1978.  He was an uniformed officer.  

The second man mentioned by Diane Thompson was NOT a detective either, in 1978.  In fact, cases usually have only one detective.  This is pursuant to the American concept of Chain of Command.

And of course, it took an average of 52 days for a forensic lab to produce a test result in 1978.  Diane Thompson made it sound as if a forensic test was accomplished within a day or two, in 1978.  

The reality is that there was NO LAB TESTING involved in the 1978 Cipolla Case.  There was no evidence at all.  The sole detective simply believed Diane Thompson's eldest son, because he believed that all 12 year-old children always told the truth.

Then came the 1983-1990 McMartin Pre-School case which showed that children are very capable of lying.  There were a number of pre-school cases which amounted to social workers making suggestive and misleading questions.   There was also the Chaneya Kelly case.  If fact ...

Anyway, in a couple of other Blue Marble Album posts are the line-itemization of proven lies conveyed by Randy Engel in her 2016 article which sent Cipolla into emotional stress so severe that, soon thereafter, Cipolla underwent some type of FATAL heart failure/attack.  In my personal "private citizen's" opinion, Randy Engel killed Anthony Cipolla, pursuant to the famous American legal doctrine known as the EGGSHELL SKULL RULE.  Lies kill.  In fact, liars kill.

The Diocese Needed to Demonize Cipolla in 1993

So in review, the diocese of Pittsburgh needed character witnesses who would attest to Cipolla negatively ... to show indication that Cipolla was mentally ill and could not perform his priestly duties.

Bendig's accusations against Cipolla was NOT a part of the case.  Diane Thompsons' accusations against Cipolla was NOT a part of the case.  The entire case rested on St. Luke's diagnosing Cipolla as Clinically Depressed with Suicidal Tendencies vs St. Michael's of NYC declaring Cipolla mentally healthy.

Diocesan Desperation

For a bishop to have his general secretary send out a request like the one above, at such a late time, shows desperation.

In Wuerl's request for a rehearing at the Apostolic Signatura Court, he merely stated conditionally that there MIGHT HAVE BEEN factual discrepancies in the Cipolla Case that was already heard by the Signatura.  He did NOT state that there definitely were some.

In the first hearing, Cipolla was represented by Count Neri Cappone of Florence.  It went smoothly, and the Signatura ordered Wuerl to reinstate Cipolla.   Concerning the second hearing, I already explained how Wuerl won it.  There's a search box at the top right hand side of this page.  Go look it up.

Cipolla was too ill to molest anyone in 2016.  

So, why did Engel rip at his reputation with allegations that she did NOT test for truthfulness?  The scorecard on Cipolla was 1} Severe heart condition which included bypass surgery,  2} Diabetes, 3} Arthritis, 4a} Neuropathy, and  4b} a history of severe back pain, even during his last days on Earth.

If you thought that exonerating Cipolla would result in him running around town, molesting children, then you are either out of touch with reality or the New Jersey Conspiracy Theory Housewife Friend of Randy Engel who caused more than enough stress on the man who had a severe heart condition.  Cipolla was in too much physical pain, to run around and molest any children. 

Plus, the exact way in which Engel claimed that Cipolla molested young Tucker was not physically viable.  Such action would cause tremendous pain to a nine year old.  

Ironically, true molestation case involve the actions occurring in the opposite manner.  It's usually the children's hand invading an adult's privacy, rather than a grown man's hand invading a much smaller child's private section.  

If Cipolla did what Engel claimed he did, then young Tucker would have been in brutal pain, not able to hide it from anyone.  Unlike Randy Engel, I'm trying to be as polite as can be here ... which is the way of private academy students from country club families.  We were taught to not be crass and to not make scenes.  It was called "being discrete."  Engel was an awkward bull in a China shop.

I can assure you that, in his medical condition, Cipolla was harmless until he got behind a steering wheel.  But, Wuerl made sure that Anthony Cipolla would be abandoned enough to not have a driver or have anything else that makes life easier.  

It has now been ten years

The man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla had a residential auto accident and not a highway accident.  However, a witness said that  the car appeared to have been traveling at a high enough speed to result in a final catastrophe.

The front of Cipolla's auto hit a tree on Warren Ohio's Elm Road, near the Clermont Avenue intersection, where the Warren Bible Methodist Church is located.  He was dead at the scene, and the engine was pushed into the front seat.   

In fact, Cipolla was thrown from his car.  Randy Engel literally tormented Anthony Cipolla to death ... and for allegations which exhaustive fact-checking proved to be false ... especially in what a 1978 police officer stated to me personally, during an interview.  Randy Engel killed a helpless man.

And yes, I originally assumed that Cipolla was as guilty as sin ... just like everyone else.  In fact, I objected to the offer of me personally meeting with him.  But, I went anyway, out of kindness and "private academy," "country club" diplomacy.  

Then came Cipolla with a box of evidence which ended up changing everything I originally assumed about the case.  Then came my own personal free-of-charge investigation.  The details are here, at the Blue Marble Album, along with several other subjects.  

There was exhaustive research work done in the subjects addressed here.  If there is not exhaustive research involved, then I don't address the subject.
