Evidence that Wuerl orchestrated a misleading exaggeration, in the Cipolla Case

 

The man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla, chaplain of a Padre Pio Prayer Group, was fatally ejected from his car on August 30, 2016, two days after his 73rd birthday.  He was a defrocked multiple heart surgery patient said to have undergone an arrhythmia, while driving, and during a time of great emotional distress caused by Randy Engel's 2016 article about him.  

 

That article was hate-filled defamation against him.  The three-part article was a gossipy hag's ritualistic cursing of Cipolla, with the hag being too financially meager to be sued.  Her dupe ... the actual writer of the article ... became the epitome of self-righteous, holier-than-art-thou, arrogant worthlessness. 

 

It was found ... through intense fact-checking which even included finding a 1978 witness through the Pittsburgh Steeler Organization ... that Engel's 2016 Damnation of Cipolla article was wall-to-wall lies.  Those lies have been line-itemized & detailed already, in post after post after post, at the Wuerl-of-Hurt site.  Being that the string of defamation remains online, the Cipolla Case is NOT closed, as if it's only consigned to random history books. 

 

The first example I use, to show Randy Engel to be a liar, is the claim that accuser Diane Thompson had a husband in 1965 who was severely injured in a "special forces" training exercise" at the Spartanburg military base which was completely closed-down in 1947 and then turned into a State Park in 1949, where military training exercises have been expressly forbidden, for the past 77 years.

 

Then comes the lie about Cipolla getting arrested in 1978, accompanied by the media insinuating that Cipolla molested Tucker Thompson ... and his brother ... dozens of times, in a 12 to 24 month period.  

 

HOWEVER, the official Pittsburgh Police O/I Report stated that Tucker and his mother only claimed that Cipolla molested Tucker TWO TIMES, and only with one finger and then with one hand.  No mention of Cipolla molesting the older brother was mentioned in the July 25, 1978 Report.  

 

Concerning the 12 year old, no search for corroborating witnesses or physical evidence was done, because the one detective of the 1978 case who did testify in the 2018 PA Grand Jury Inquest that he believed all that the young Frank Labiaux said, because of his belief that no 12 year old male would ever lie to the police.

 

Moreover, the other assigned detective of the 1978 Cipolla Case died in 2012.  So, his angle of observation on the whole case wasn't stated for any record, especially the record of 2018.  And also for the record, former detective and former desk sergeant Warren Broz died during May of 2020.

 

For those unaware, Frank Labiaux was/is a step brother or half brother of Tucker Thompson.  Being that newspaper and digital articles involving Diane Thompson are inconsistent with the facts, a person has trouble keeping score of Frank's true DNA relationship to the Diane Thompson who now goes by a different name that begins with the letter, "M."  

 

In 1978, Tucker was nine and Frank was twelve years of age.  Also in 1978, Diane Thompson couldn't pay her apartment rent and asked for help from Cipolla.  Shortly after getting no financial assistance through him, she accused him of having molested a son.  

 

Very shortly after that, the mathematics changed to two sons molested by Cipolla.  The oldest one was claimed to have been first molested by Cipolla in Michigan, in 1977.  Let us proceed with Wuerl's most blatant hypocrisy in the Cipolla Case:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 

For those new here, the Cipolla Case was the one which rocketed Cardinal Donald Wuerl into stardom.  The man formerly known as Father Anthony Cipolla was made out to be a monster molester who was allowed to "get away with it" until mighty Donald Wuerl (all 5'4 inches of that elevator-shoed narcissist) came on to the scene.

Wuerl's Excuse for Defrocking Cipolla was Psychic Defect, involving a Maryland clinic's diagnosis of Depression & Suicidal Tendencies only

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette made it look as if Wuerl were having Cipolla tried at the Vatican for molestation.  This is a falsehood.  Wuerl only pleaded that Cipolla had to be removed from ministry, on account of the Depression and Suicidal Tendencies Diagnosis he received at St. Luke's of Maryland.  

The technical Vatican phrase was, Psychic Defect.  None the less, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette made it look as if Cipolla were diagnosed with a depraved psychological sexual dysfunction.  Only Clinic Depression.

Now, Chicago journalist, Mike Volpe, and I saw the official paperwork which only mentioned Depression & Suicidal Tendencies as the diagnosis conferred upon Cipolla.  So, you can ask Mike, as a corroborative witness ... for concurring confirmation.

Incidentally, Mike is Jewish and NOT Italian.  I mention this, so that you will not think that I have an "Italians-only club."  In fact, my DNA is half-Irish and people have noticed the green in the eyes, to the point of briefly giving me the nickname, "Cat Eyes."  So, the pro-Italian prejudice isn't there.  

Plus, Michael Volpe is NOT Catholic.  This means that propagandist Bill Donohue of the one-man Catholic League can't accuse him of being a disgruntled-conservative-Catholic-right-wing-kook. Donohue is going to have to employ another ploy, to get the reading public to shun Mike Volpe.

Anyway, in his Vatican Signatura pleadings of 1993, Wuerl made it sound as if Anthony Cipolla were so immersed in suicidal tendencies that Wuerl had to dismiss him from all ministry.  Wuerl made the Saint Luke's diagnosis his justification.

In as much, tell me something.  Q:  What is deadly wrong with this picture painted by Wuerl and later by the press?

ANS:  If Donald Wuerl really did believe that Anthony Cipolla were severely suicidal, then he would have called the police and filed a "302" on Cipolla, thereby getting Cipolla involuntarily committed in a mental institution, on account of him "being a danger to himself."

Wuerl did not do so.  This means that Wuerl didn't think that Cipolla was suicidal.  Wuerl was merely looking for a scapegoat, so as to create a diversionary tactic which hid from the Public & the Police Donald Wuerl's true molesters ... concerning those priests who hadn't yet gotten arrested.

Plus, if Cipolla really were pathologically suicidal, then the police would have eventually caught wind of it, and Cipolla would have been taken to a mental institution without delay.   He was never committed into a mental institution.

For those unaware, a 302 in Pennsylvania law is the 72 Hour Observation law.  It means that, when the police show cause, you are taken to a mental institution, and put under observation there for 72 hours, in order for the mental health professionals to assess your state of mental health.  If you turn out to be a danger to yourself, then you stay longer than three days.

The fact that Wuerl never filed a 302 on Cipolla proves that Wuerl didn't care about Cipolla's well-being and that Cipolla was NOT so severely mentally ill that he had to be removed from ministry.

Wuerl made sure that Cipolla would never return to diocesan ministry, because Wuerl was frightened of the D.A. John C Pettit who simultaneously indicted Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, while letting the public know that he did NOT appreciate the stone-walling and lack of cooperation from Wuerl's diocese.

If Donald Wuerl would have put Cipolla back into ministry, due to Bendig's accusations, investigations in the plural would have simultaneously been commenced.  Wuerl's private life and the private life of his former boss, John Cardinal Wright, would have also been uncovered.  The investigators would have learned about John Hoehl, John Wellinger, and Edward Huff, as well as a handful of others.

If Wuerl didn't use Cipolla as a scapegoat, then Wuerl would not have reached the height of UNDESERVED power he attained, mostly with the help of the Nazi Pope, Joseph "Hitler Youth" Ratzinger.

I already stated in print that I saw Wuerl lie and intimidate his way to the top.  I mostly saw it in the eyes and facial expressions of those victimized by him.
