The sodomizing of youth by Catholic clergy members and then covered
up by church hierarchs was something seldom discussed. It was seldom
discussed until the media broke open the seals of secrecy that were once
glazed over Cardinal Bernard Law's disgraced Boston Archdiocese.
It was twenty-three years ago when I was forced to begin investigating
similar things in the county where sits Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. This was
because a fifteen year old youth allegedly preoccupied with the Occult,
Satanism, and devil-worship attempted to murder my son, Adam. The
same youth then killed himself.
My investigation began in December of 1989. Thus, I started my work
thirteen calendar years before veteran journalists of the Boston Globe
exposed Catholic Church red hatter Bernie Law for having habitually
covered the criminal actions of priests. Ten years after having begun
my investigations, the Philadelphia district attorney’s office put to bed
the prosecution of all Philadelphia archdiocesan clerics accused of the
same old crimes and the same old cover ups. This shows that being a
molester in Pennsylvania was a lucrative pastime.
The attack on my son took place on the morning of December 5, 1989,
around 8:00 am. A bus carrying Serra Catholic High School students be-
gan its approach toward the school's entrance doors. A bus loaded with
dozens of teenagers was beginning to cross onto Serra Catholic school
grounds when the would-be assassin pulled out a 32 caliber handgun and
blasted a shot into the back of my son’s head. He next placed the gun to
his temple and fired the second shot.
Two ambulances transferred my son and the shooter to the McKeesport
Hospital. Both young men were admitted to the same emergency room,
separated by the curtains surrounding their beds. A telephone call from
Brother Chuck, the guidance counselor of Serra Catholic, served notice
to our family to get to the McKeesport Hospital Emergency Room as
soon as possible.
Ironically, my wife, my eldest son, and I arrived at the hospital before the
ambulances did. While a paramedic was pushing a gurney through a hall-
way, I shouted to the man, “If that’s Adam Ference, tell him his par-
ents are here.” The body was completely covered. Deep-down inside,
and without saying a word, I hoped and prayed it wasn’t Adam. Seconds
later was another gurney, being pushed through the hallway. It was Adam,
sitting up. He was conscious, but I wasn’t sure how alert he was.
A nurse came and escorted me back to where my son was. I still didn’t
know what happened. A disheveled detective from the McKeesport Po-
lice Department approached my wife and I. He recklessly pulled a gun
from a brown paper bag and asked if we had ever seen the weapon be-
fore. Confused and bewildered, we shook our heads sideways, quietly
saying no. A teacher would then pull the detective to the side and tell
him that we weren’t the parents he needed to talk to.
I watched the bed sheets fill with blood as the shooter lie dead, no doubt
from the 32-caliber self-inflicted gunshot wound. It was a shot taken on-
ly seconds after the shooter blasted my son’s skull with his first shot, done
while my son sat directly in front of the shooter half asleep.
Minutes later, a nurse called me into the emergency room to see my son.
I tried to reassure him that everything would be alright, as he seemed to
daze in and out of consciousness. I caught myself glancing back and forth
from the wound in the back of my son’s head to the blood-stained sheets
of the shooter in the bed next to my son. It were as if I was watching a
tennis match or a ping pong game.
I prayed and promised God that I would do whatever I could to make
things right, not knowing what that meant, and still not knowing what ex-
actly happened. Now, I knew that Adam could never intentionally harm
anyone with a gun. But, I figured that he might have accidentally tripped
someone, resulting in multiple gun shots being unleashed from a loaded
handgun. So, I kept promising God that I would do whatever it took to
make things right.
Sadly enough, I heard a crying father; weeping over his son’s dead body.
All but for the grace of God, that father could have been me. So, twenty-
three years later, I’m still trying to keep that promise. Needless to say,
Donald Wuerl has been a ruthless antagonist, preventing justice and truth
from prevailing. Wuerl keeps us in the dark, in so many diabolical ways.
Several weeks after the shooting, my son was well on his way to recov-
ery. Several weeks after the shooting, a seasoned law enforcement offi-
cer who actively participated in the investigation, ended up sitting in my
living room, alleging to my wife and I that the investigation of my son's
attempted murder was deliberately quashed by the McKeesport Police
Chief (Thomas Brletic) and his investigating officers. The man who al-
leged this to me was and is William Scully.
At the time, Scully was the Public Safety Officer for the city of Clairton.
At the time, Clairton no longer had a police force, due to the economic
woes which followed the demolition of the Pittsburgh steel industry. Pri-
or to being Clairton's public safety director, Scully was assistant chief
of police for the same town of Clairton and served several years as a
police officer there.
To compensate for the case being allegedly quashed, Scully provided
me with very specific notes and details about the shooter. He alleged
that the shooter was sexually abused by Fr. John Wellinger, a parish
priest at Holy Spirit Church in West Mifflin, PA. Prior to Wellinger’s
assignment at Holy Spirit, he was an assistant pastor of Saint Clare of
Assisi Church, in Clairton. The shooter served as an altar boy for Fr.
Wellinger at St. Clare's.
According to several sources, the shooter was often an after-school
guest of Wellinger, at the parish rectory house, along with other boys.
It was a parish house equipped with a pool table, pinball machines and
other facilities to keep young boys amused for hours.
Scully also provided specific information about Wellinger allegedly harm-
ing a teenager from Holy Spirit Church in West Mifflin. This harming al-
legedly occurred circa 1987 or 1988. I even received an email in 2011
that suffices as evidence that confirmed my allegations on the topic.
As time progressed, I would come to speak with several sources. The
sources included a retired police chief of West Mifflin, as well as a police
officer of the same West Mifflin whose son was allegedly molested by the
same John Wellinger. My sources included several women who worked
along side the same John Wellinger at Holy Spirit Parish.
There was even the matter of a woman who may have known Wellinger
intimately. Added to the list is a former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette investi-
gative reporter who alleged that Wellinger made a homosexual pass at
him. Another one of my sources included a Florida man who once visit-
ed Wellinger at Holy Spirit Church and who alleged that Wellinger want-
ed to perform an unnatural act on his person. Plus, there was the alleged
teenage victim to whom John Wellinger allegedly supplied the spiked alco-
holic beverage which knocked the youth out for hours.
Concerning the youth, he eventually returned to consciousness and dialed
911. He then allegedly staggered down a few apartments stairs, to meet
an awaiting ambulance which allegedly took him to then Presbyterian Uni-
versity Hospital (now part of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center).
According to the allegations, he and his family were victimized, yet again,
in the alleged cover-up to follow. It’s sad that it has taken over 23 years
for me to release my information with just a scant hope of justice finally be-
ing served. More tragically, as I have tried to draw attention to the crimes
and the cover ups, I can only imagine how many more victims could have
been saved from being victimized.
Michael Unglo is one person who immediately comes to mind. For those
unfamiliar, he committed suicide shortly after the Diocese of Pittsburgh,
under David Zubik, stopped financing his psychiatric treatment. Now,
the diocese had already payed $300,000 in psychiatric bills for Michael.
But, Mike suffered from flashbacks, due to the alleged actions of the de-
frocked Richard Dorsch who receives a thousand dollar a month stipend
from the diocese.
Meanwhile, the homosexual con artist, Fr James Torquato, immediately
canceled all business contracts with his accuser's uncle, and Wuerl rati-
fied Fr. Torquato's act of economic terrorism, as if Wuerl were perform-
ing the terrorism himself. Basically, Torquato blackmailed his accuser's
uncle. The uncle was to get Torquato's accuser to retract his accusations
against Torquato or else lose significant income.
I’d like to point out something about my son's attempted murder. The
shooter was not sitting is his regular seat that day, nor did he get on at
his regular stop. My son did sit in his regular seat, close to the window.
The shooter was in the aisle seat behind him. The exact conjecture of
what was transpiring was thwarted by parents no allowing their children
to be interviewed by law enforcement investigators. But, the allegation
was that Bobby Butler switched seats, and placed himself directly be-
hind my son. Depositions exist which can be supplied as proof of a
community-wide cover up.
Concerning Adam's case, I had sought help from many people in govern-
ment. An Allegheny County detective referred me to former PA State
Trooper Robert Griffin who investigated the Satanism and Occult inter-
ests of my son's shooter and the shooter's friends. He simply stated that
the Pittsburgh diocese was covering up crimes for years. They simply
shuffled priests from one parish to the next, he alleged. There was no-
thing he could do about it, he made it appear.
There is a long list of state troopers who did absolutely nothing. Like-
wise, the same nothing came from former Pennsylvania Senator and
Catholic Church lobbyist, Rick Santorum. Senator Arlen Spector al-
so chose to ignore my case, as did Congressman Mike Doyle. Plus,
Carol Burke, Chief of Staff for State Rep David Levdansky, simply
advised me to get over it.
An FBI agent did exist who was well-aware of Wellinger’s alleged sex-
ual shenanigans, but was preoccupied with the investigation into a drug
raid gone bad which resulted in a fellow agent being killed. So, the Pitts-
burgh diocese has been getting a free pass, since the time of Bevilacqua’s
tenure there. Include Wuerl's tenure also, especially in considering that
he paid no price for his allegedly uncooperative behavior during the in-
vestigation which lead to the arrests of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci.
Allegheny County's Courthouse is located on Grant Street, in downtown
Pittsburgh. Supposedly, justice is served there. Sadly enough, some of
the PA judges were bought and sold like stolen merchandise at outdoor
flea markets. I cite the infamous Luzerne County “Cash for Kids” scan-
dal that sent two greed-infested Pennsylvania judges to federal prisons,
after years of locking up children in private juvenile detention centers for
things as petty as summary offenses.
The centers are owned by Gregory Zappala, son of former PA Supreme
Court Chief Justice Stephen Zappala Sr and brother of Allegheny Coun-
ty District Attorney Stephen Zappala, Jr. Sadly enough, one of the vic-
tims of this barbaric practice would end up committing suicide after two
incarcerations. His death would take place on June 10, 2010, the same
day Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala was sworn in
as a member of the board which oversees clergy sex abuse victims, un-
der the auspices of the U.S. Bishop’s Conference.
It’s pertinent to point out that the attempted murder of my son took place
in McKeesport, PA. It's a section of the Mon Valley jokingly referred to
as Mob Valley. It's the last place one expects to find any semblance of
justice. McKeesport is filled with case after case of systematic and de-
liberate cover ups of criminal behavior most often alleging McKeesport
police and democratic officials at the center of the cover ups.
Some allegations involve 1] a dead teenage girl whose body was found
in a McKeesport cemetery, 2] a woman held captive by a McKeesport
School district security guard for almost a decade, and 3] the Cornell
Elementary School scandal allegedly involving two McKeesport teach-
ers doing their best to imitate two dogs in heat, while two other teachers
allegedly did their best to act like two watchdogs. All was either well
covered up or else never happened.
A critical aspect of Scully’s original notes (which will soon be published)
is that they referred to former Catholic priest John Wellinger as possibly
having sexually abused the shooter of my son. Scully would also indicate
in his notes the existence of another victim of John Wellinger, possibly a
16-year-old boy from Holy Spirit Church in West Mifflin. There are di-
rect quotes and insider information about an alleged paper trail covering
up the alleged crimes of Pittsburgh diocesan priest John Wellinger.
I’ve also met and talked with yet, another accuser of former Pittsburgh
clergy member, John Wellinger. This accuser was one of the plaintiffs
in a class action lawsuit against the Diocese of Pittsburgh. His parents
were parishioners of Holy Spirit Church in West Mifflin.
For now, I want to caution people from outside of Pennsylvania that, if
you're contemplating moving here, you would do better to just stay put.
Jim Potts, founder of Democracy Rising and an advocate for honest gov-
ernment in PA, opined on a Pittsburgh radio station that “Pennsylvania
may be the most corrupt state in America.” I agree with Potts. Howev-
er, I would extend his opinion to include most third world countries, as
well.
Consider the following before you plan a visit to Pennsylvania, or worse
yet, to move to the commonwealth: 1] Cash for Kids scandal; 2] the
Jerry Sandusky and Penn State scandal; 3] the grand jury investigations
into the rape and sodomy of innocent children in the Philadelphia Arch-
diocese; 4] the Tanya Kash case involving a McKeesport School District
security guard allegedly holding a teenager captive for almost ten years;
5] Donald Wuerl's proven triple cover-up of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci, by
which he ignored the Child Protective Services Act and was accused of
having been uncooperative during the criminal investigation of the three
priests he tried to conceal, followed by Wuerl facing zero accountability
for his evil deeds and equally evil neglects.
All of these cases involved police and government officials being all too
willing to delay or hamper investigations involving children in harm’s way,
allegedly. In a Philadelphia archdiocesan case, a ten-year-old boy was
alleged to have been sodomized by his Catholic school teacher in a park.
When the teacher had satisfied his barbaric sexual cravings, the allegedly
victimized boy was forced to make his way home on his won, bleeding
from his rectum.
Pennsylvania is a pro-pedophile state, in my opinion. My opinion comes
from personal experience and a lot of investigating, done free of charge.
So, you can either take my word for it or risk your own children’s lives
to prove me wrong. In Pennsylvania, even adults were victims of power
abuse. Concerning it, you can either take my word for it or else risk your
own future to prove me wrong.

The strive to make an all-gay priesthood: Cardinal Wuerl was there, in the seats of influence, letting it all happen.
Preliminary Statement: Catholic Church doctrine has always held that
homosexual activity is one of the four sins that cry to Heaven for ven-
geance. This means that any attempt to incorporate homosexuality in-
to mainstream Catholicism constitutes the attempted theft of a 2,000
year old international organization that possesses estates of consider-
able wealth throughout pockets of the world.
Such an attempt at usurpation will always include the manipulative take-
over of church property and government. In fact, such a takeover at-
tempt will always be orchestrated by a cabal dedicated to replacing
centuries of unbroken church teaching with self-seeking doctrines that
delight only a skewed and selfish few. Any attempt to overthrow a
2,000 year old worldwide church doesn't solely consist in attempts to
control the average Catholic's mind with puppet slogans.
This type of usurpation always constitutes the Breach of Duty of Loyal-
ty, as in using church wealth for the purpose of consummating lusts once
held by Sodom, shortly before it became a sulfuric blast furnace. Such
a hostile takeover includes that of occupying clerical positions involved
in seminary training. In recent decades, it has included the policy of de-
nying seminary entrance to anyone unwilling to abet in the sin of Sodom.
When the seats of church authority become occupied by those who have
no intention to honor the vows taken at ordination, the power occupied
becomes a matter of accession by fraudulent misrepresentation.
A Gun Smoking More Now Than Ever Before
If the Torquato case isn't a smoking gun that proves the deliberate incor-
poration of the sodomite world into the modern church, then no case is.
Firstly, Torquato was a seminarian who ended up being personally or-
dained by Donald Wuerl. In fact, he was a Wuerlite protégé who be-
gan his physically intrusive antics only one calendar year after his ordi-
nation. He didn't wait long to get into action. This indicated that he
had no resolve to honor at least one of his vows.
http://www.donaldwuerl.com/JamesTorquato.html
Do you think that Donald Wuerl was clueless to the fact that Torquato
was a homosexual? Well, if he were clueless, then Wuerl showed him-
self to be a erroneous judge of character and should have never been
ordained a bishop. If, on the other hand, the present archbishop of
D.C. knew of Torquato's homosexuality, then he should have been re-
moved from office while he was the bishop of Pittsburgh.
In allowing homosexuals to be ordained, and in acquiescing to the influx
of homosexuals into American seminarians, Donald Wuerl showed that
he neglected to employ the due diligence needed to prevent the church
from being victimized by the noted antics of homosexual clergy members
who should never have been admitted for ordination in the first place. In
ordaining Torquato, and in covering up his actions, Wuerl showed him-
self willing to let damage be inflicted upon the laity entrusted to him.

The Welcoming Committee for the Sodomite World
and its Harm Upon the Church of the Near Future
Which Now Constitutes the Church of the Recent Past
Donald Cardinal Wuerl held influential posts in the ecclesiastical office
originally known as the Training for the Priesthood. During Wuerl's
years of influence, the title was replaced by the very embarrassingly gay
sounding Office of Priestly Formation. In looking back, we see that
it would have been more accurate to have named it the Office of Prissy
Formation, in light of the caliber of seminary reformers in the modern
church. In fact, a suffix should have been affixed to the title, in order
to reflect the stranglehold that narcissistic Power Predators and com-
pletely heartless Power Abusers had around the Catholic Church's
broken neck.
Donald Wuerl's guarding of the seminary chicken coup occurred during
the years when American seminaries were being turned into homosexual
havens. One such seminary earned the sarcastic name, Notre Flame,
while another one got tagged with the name Pink Palace. The renam-
ing of seminaries by those in the know included the one at the nation's
capitol, where it came to be known as the Theological Closet, as in
the coming out thereof.
Donald Wuerl was influential in seminary life during the time he occupied
5078 Warwick Terrace, in Pittsburgh, PA. Even before being ordained
a bishop, he was rector of Saint Paul's Seminary, in the Pittsburgh suburb
of Crafton, PA. Now, it was shortly after Vatican II reforms became a
multiple-ringed circus, when an unconscionable fox with access to a con-
trol panel opened the seminary doors to the sodomite world. Donald
Wuerl was there, in close proximity to the scenes of the crimes. He
was there ...
1] while at the side of the John Cardinal Wright who was alleged to have
been an active homosexual, 2] at the Pittsburgh diocesan seminary,
from the calender year after Wright's death, until the calender year be-
fore becoming an auxiliary bishop, 3] as an influential figure on the na-
tional level, in the overtly gay sounding Office of Priestly Formation,
4] Wuerl's involvement in two tours of the euphemistically sounding "Sem-
inary Vistation program.
Thus, it cannot be regarded as an unrelated coincidence that the one bish-
op given the nickname, Donna Wuerl, was a gatekeeper of American sem-
inaries during the homosexual influx of them.
Protégé of Alleged Über Sodomite, John Cardinal Wright
Donald Wuerl was the personal secretary of alleged über sodomite John
Cardinal Wright. Without his nexus to John Wright, Wuerl would have
been a relative nobody. This means that Donald Cardinal Wuerl's rise
to power consisted in him riding the coat tails of a cardinal whose pri-
vate life was alleged to have been a war cry against Catholic morality,
the laws of nature, and the vows of ordination.
Concerning the specific accusations leveled against John Wright, they
allegedly came in graphic illustrations. In fact, don't read Randy Engel's
narration of them shortly before you are about to eat. They constitute a
play by play broadcast, and they will succeed in keeping you on a diet
if you read them. The allegations were so graphic that Wright's accuser,
Bill Burnett, was either in the same room with Wright or else he was in a
grotesque fantasy world. If you are curious enough to read the narrative,
be prepared to get completely grossed-out by the alleged actions of the
one cleric principally responsible for Donald Wuerl becoming a premier
figure in the sodomized Catholic Church.
You cannot be the long-term secretary of a reputed homosexual without
having been one yourself ... or at the least ... without being complicit in
covering up such a notorious cardinal's actions. If the accusations made
against Wright were true, then it was a domino sequence of events which
lead Donald Wuerl to provide a series of welcome mats to the unnatural
subculture emerging throughout pockets of the Catholic Church ... in him
doing so almost as soon as he became a ruling bishop, aka a local ordi-
nary. If the habitual conduct of Donald Wuerl's early years were not the
dominoes effect of John Cardinal Wright's alleged sodomy, then Wuerl's
accommodating of the homosexual world was an uncanny coincidence.
An example of this welcome mat service occurred when founders of New
Ways Ministry presented Homophobia in Religion and Society at
St. Mary's Convent, in Carlow College. Another example of Wuerl's
red carpet favoritism toward homosexuality existed in the nexus that his
diocese had with St. Elmo's Books and Music. The store which carried
Sodomite erotic literature also carried three of Wuerl's recitation tapes.
The same St. Elmo's Books was permitted to operate tables at diocesan
conferences, such as at the Tri-diocesan Teachers' Conference and a two
day conference held at Duquesne University.
The Duquesne conference, incidentally, was co-sponsored by Catholic
Charities and the embarrassingly gay sounding Diocesan Secretariat for
Social Concerns which finally admitted that it only concerned itself with
obtaining income-bearing government social service contracts.
It's no secret that Donald Wuerl gave long-term shelter to the so-called
Dignity Masses for those dedicated to living thoroughly undignified lives.
Coincidentally, the owner of Saint Elmo's Books and Music was presi-
dent of Dignity, at one time in his life. In fact, Dignity USA was an ex-
hibitor at the Fourteenth Annual Pastoral Musicians' Convention which
followed the theme, Singing A New Church.
The title of the fourteenth convention indicated the concerted effort to in-
corporate anti-Catholic things into the Catholic Church, including the in-
stitutionalization of homosexuality. The heresy in the title is blatant of
course, being that the New Church began approximately 2,000 years
ago in a Jerusalem Cenacle, and not in a Pittsburgh convention hall fre-
quented by homosexuals.
Then there was the AA type of homosexual support group, Courage,
given top priority by the Donald Wuerl who should have instead given
first concern to the most pressing moral issue of the day, namely sweat-
shops and field labor abuse. Now, Wuerl is the cleric who allegedly
acted girly in the presence of a certain parish council woman, and who
was cited as having had the second softest handshake encountered by
a certain diocesan lecteur. Donald Wuerl was also listed on the web-
site of premier expert witness Richard Sipe as one of those bishops who
carry a blatant homosexual psycho-sexual orientation.
It's alarming that Wuerl remained indifferent to the pain of sweatshop la-
borers, all the while acting as if the members of Courage were the most
important thing on earth. This included Wuerl's indifference toward the
30 cent-an-hour youth suffering in China, as well as the many 85 cent an
hour adults.
It is a moral obligation for bishops to speak out against the sin of cheat-
ing workers of their wages, when products made by the abused workers
end up in the bishops' own nation. The Donald Wuerl who lived in lux-
ury for decades remained heartlessly silent toward the pain of others. In
fact, his silence is a war cry against God.
Donald Wuerl spent a notable portion of his Pittsburgh days casting an
illusion of sanctity upon an unnaturally inclined cabal whose predeces-
sors, namely the Sodomites, ended up being incinerated in a city state
that reached the sulfuric critical mass stage. Now, a fatal error of flam-
ing homosexuals is that they apparently fail to realize how intensely they
broadcast their homosexual tendencies. They fail to hide their unnatural
tendencies from anyone except a few distorted church ladies.
The fatal error of such church ladies is that they equate femininity with
good and masculinity with evil. This is like adherents of the Manichean
apostasy which equated the spiritual world with good and the physical
one with evil. Therefore, a person as void of masculinity as has been
Donald Wuerl is one who was mistaken by out-of-touch church ladies
to be a holy man.
Ironically, in-touch church women abhor homosexuals, while being fully
aware that the present church is in utter ruins. Thus, it's only air head-
ed glamor mongers who treat homosexuals as Christmas tree tinsel.
Meanwhile, women of true faith are so repulsed by homosexuals that
encountering the worst plague in world history wouldn't phase them
nearly as much.
The Former Archbishop of Omaha's Assessment
During his Pittsburgh days, Donald Wuerl did nothing more than toss tin-
sel on a sulfur pit, and close parish after parish. In fact, he closed parish
after parish as if he had insider information on the priesthood's population
being made to dwindle. Only those bearing homosexual psycho-sexual
orientations received the seminary red carpet treatment during that time,
according to several sources. It was alleged by former Omaha bishop,
Elden Curtiss, that the priest shortage was deliberately contrived.

narration of them shortly before you are about to eat. They constitute a
play by play broadcast, and they will succeed in keeping you on a diet
if you read them. The allegations were so graphic that Wright's accuser,
Bill Burnett, was either in the same room with Wright or else he was in a
grotesque fantasy world. If you are curious enough to read the narrative,
be prepared to get completely grossed-out by the alleged actions of the
one cleric principally responsible for Donald Wuerl becoming a premier
figure in the sodomized Catholic Church.
You cannot be the long-term secretary of a reputed homosexual without
having been one yourself ... or at the least ... without being complicit in
covering up such a notorious cardinal's actions. If the accusations made
against Wright were true, then it was a domino sequence of events which
lead Donald Wuerl to provide a series of welcome mats to the unnatural
subculture emerging throughout pockets of the Catholic Church ... in him
doing so almost as soon as he became a ruling bishop, aka a local ordi-
nary. If the habitual conduct of Donald Wuerl's early years were not the
dominoes effect of John Cardinal Wright's alleged sodomy, then Wuerl's
accommodating of the homosexual world was an uncanny coincidence.
An example of this welcome mat service occurred when founders of New
Ways Ministry presented Homophobia in Religion and Society at
St. Mary's Convent, in Carlow College. Another example of Wuerl's
red carpet favoritism toward homosexuality existed in the nexus that his
diocese had with St. Elmo's Books and Music. The store which carried
Sodomite erotic literature also carried three of Wuerl's recitation tapes.
The same St. Elmo's Books was permitted to operate tables at diocesan
conferences, such as at the Tri-diocesan Teachers' Conference and a two
day conference held at Duquesne University.
The Duquesne conference, incidentally, was co-sponsored by Catholic
Charities and the embarrassingly gay sounding Diocesan Secretariat for
Social Concerns which finally admitted that it only concerned itself with
obtaining income-bearing government social service contracts.
It's no secret that Donald Wuerl gave long-term shelter to the so-called
Dignity Masses for those dedicated to living thoroughly undignified lives.
Coincidentally, the owner of Saint Elmo's Books and Music was presi-
dent of Dignity, at one time in his life. In fact, Dignity USA was an ex-
hibitor at the Fourteenth Annual Pastoral Musicians' Convention which
followed the theme, Singing A New Church.
The title of the fourteenth convention indicated the concerted effort to in-
corporate anti-Catholic things into the Catholic Church, including the in-
stitutionalization of homosexuality. The heresy in the title is blatant of
course, being that the New Church began approximately 2,000 years
ago in a Jerusalem Cenacle, and not in a Pittsburgh convention hall fre-
quented by homosexuals.
Then there was the AA type of homosexual support group, Courage,
given top priority by the Donald Wuerl who should have instead given
first concern to the most pressing moral issue of the day, namely sweat-
shops and field labor abuse. Now, Wuerl is the cleric who allegedly
acted girly in the presence of a certain parish council woman, and who
was cited as having had the second softest handshake encountered by
a certain diocesan lecteur. Donald Wuerl was also listed on the web-
site of premier expert witness Richard Sipe as one of those bishops who
carry a blatant homosexual psycho-sexual orientation.
It's alarming that Wuerl remained indifferent to the pain of sweatshop la-
borers, all the while acting as if the members of Courage were the most
important thing on earth. This included Wuerl's indifference toward the
30 cent-an-hour youth suffering in China, as well as the many 85 cent an
hour adults.
It is a moral obligation for bishops to speak out against the sin of cheat-
ing workers of their wages, when products made by the abused workers
end up in the bishops' own nation. The Donald Wuerl who lived in lux-
ury for decades remained heartlessly silent toward the pain of others. In
fact, his silence is a war cry against God.
Donald Wuerl spent a notable portion of his Pittsburgh days casting an
illusion of sanctity upon an unnaturally inclined cabal whose predeces-
sors, namely the Sodomites, ended up being incinerated in a city state
that reached the sulfuric critical mass stage. Now, a fatal error of flam-
ing homosexuals is that they apparently fail to realize how intensely they
broadcast their homosexual tendencies. They fail to hide their unnatural
tendencies from anyone except a few distorted church ladies.
The fatal error of such church ladies is that they equate femininity with
good and masculinity with evil. This is like adherents of the Manichean
apostasy which equated the spiritual world with good and the physical
one with evil. Therefore, a person as void of masculinity as has been
Donald Wuerl is one who was mistaken by out-of-touch church ladies
to be a holy man.
Ironically, in-touch church women abhor homosexuals, while being fully
aware that the present church is in utter ruins. Thus, it's only air head-
ed glamor mongers who treat homosexuals as Christmas tree tinsel.
Meanwhile, women of true faith are so repulsed by homosexuals that
encountering the worst plague in world history wouldn't phase them
nearly as much.
The Former Archbishop of Omaha's Assessment
During his Pittsburgh days, Donald Wuerl did nothing more than toss tin-
sel on a sulfur pit, and close parish after parish. In fact, he closed parish
after parish as if he had insider information on the priesthood's population
being made to dwindle. Only those bearing homosexual psycho-sexual
orientations received the seminary red carpet treatment during that time,
according to several sources. It was alleged by former Omaha bishop,
Elden Curtiss, that the priest shortage was deliberately contrived.

The John Jay Study and Gavin Group Reports: The Loaded Dice Reports
Once again, keep in mind that this article also is a result of the
fact that Doctor of the Church, Saint Francis de Sales, stated:
It is an act of charity to cry out against the wolf
when he is among the sheep, wherever he is.
(Introduction to the Devout Life, III, 29)
There was nothing sophisticated about it. The data used in the John Jay
study was limited to that which was provided by the U.S. bishops. It's
equivalent to having had the foxes provide the data for a chicken coop
study. There was no oversight committee, no third party certification,
and no auditor with personal access to files. This is pertinent to note,
in that the American bishops have long since lost their credibility. In
the words of child protection advocate, Paul Kendrick, "the very
definition of 'self audit' is 'conflict of interest.' "
The Gavin Report was similar. In fact, former FBI agent William Gavin
stated after the fact: "We didn't have the benefit of drilling down
into personnel files to see what might be there. They were off
limits."
Now, it was stated that the bishops made a good faith effort in provid-
ing statistics, at least in the John Jay Study. However, no third party
proof was given that this is true. Concerning the Gavin Group reports,
there is one piece of evidence which should enlighten you. The Arch-
diocese of Philadelphia passed the so-called Gavin audit every year.
However, a grand jury inquest discovered that 37 Philadelphia priests
in active ministry were attached to credible sexual abuse allegations.
This discovery entirely invalidates the Gavin Reports. This means that
the reports where statistically proven to be bogus.
Concerning the John Jay Report that was funded by the bishops, 4%
of all priests committed sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002. The
number of abusive priests was marked at 4,932. Allegations against
them numbered 10,667. Therefore, an average 1 in 25 priests com-
mitted sexual abuse of a minor. Then there is the matter of persons
above the age of 18 who had the minds of 12 year old adolescents,
as well as those above the age of 18, 21, and even 30 who were sub-
jected to the various types of duress.
The conclusion is that Vatican II was a complete failure and needs to
be ignored, being that it was never a doctrinal council. The church is
in immediate need of either Vatican III, or Lateran VIII, or Nicaea III,
or Constantinople V, or Lyons III, or Florence/Ferrara/Basel revisited,
or even a council in a city that has not yet hosted an ecumenical council.
Things cannot continue as Monkey Business as usual in the Vatican II,
post-Maciel, present Opus Dei church. Eternity is at stake.

The Alleged Sotak Assault and Wuerl's Favor Cast upon the Accused Priest
For those new to this site, know that it contains jpegs of hard copy ev-
idence and mainstream newspaper articles which prove that Cardinal
Donald Wuerl is NOT the model of Zero Tolerance that he was made
out to be by Pittsburgh Post Gazette writer, Ann Rodgers. In addition,
the statistical information within this site shows that both Wuerl and the
archbishop of New York City are deceivers.
Relatively new in the repertoire of exposed Wuerl cover-ups the allega-
tion of an alleged one involving a priest who even knocked out his in-
tended target, during an act of physical aggression. Though it is new to
the public Christmas, it was something known for years by those in the
know. This was the elusive butterfly that was kept from the public, out
of fear that retaliation would be exacted upon the accuser. The unveil-
ing of the Penn State Sandusky Scandal, and the calling of certain per-
sons to accountability in Pennsylvania, dissolved the fear.
This account includes personal observations about Cardinal Donald
Wuerl's conduct while he was Bishop of Pittsburgh. The observer is
an individual who alleged for a long time that a Father Donald Sotak
physically attacked/assaulted him. The account herein also includes
Wuerl's alleged mode of operation in insuring that things would al-
ways sway his way while in Pennsylvania . . . according to Sotak's
accuser who eventually became a Pittsburgh diocesan deacon, all
the while hoping to become a priest.
The most revealing/vice-gripping allegation which causes instantane-
ous disrespect for Wuerl was that he allegedly required seminarians
and deacons to dress in blazers, in order to serve as valets and wait-
ers, at soirees held for the rich and influential, at Wuerl's Warrick
Terrace residence. The question is if any of the rich and influential
recognized the vanity, worldliness, manipulative tactics, and there-
fore deceitful intent of the former bishop of Pittsburgh.
Also herein is the alleged victim's surmise as to Wuerl's motivation in
having vehemently pursued the Anthony Cipolla case at the Vatican's
highest court and then to have the results thereof limelighted and bill-
boarded throughout much of the Western World, while keeping im-
portant details of the case from being made readily known.
The accused priest:
Donald J. Sotak. His assignments included headmaster posts at South
Side Catholic and Canevin High Schools, as well as the pastor posts of
Saint Francis Xavier in the North Side of Pittsburgh and Saint Joseph's
Parish in Natrona Heights. This also included an assistant pastor post in
Mckeesport.
Sotak died in 2004. During the celebration of the 40th anniversary of
his ordination, in 2002, the parish church that was to hold the celebra-
tion was ever so coincidentally vandalized. Were the vandals, by any
chance, making a deliberate statement in the vandalizing?
Accusation: Full blown physical assault, to the tune of either attempt-
ed sodomy or actual rape. The accuser stated that he was knocked
unconscious during the conflagration which, according to him, was an
intense altercation. He wasn't sure what actually happened while he
was unconscious.
The alleged circumstance surrounding alleged assault: Sotak's
accuser alleges that the assault took place after a dinner outing and af-
ter Fr. Sotak asked the gentleman very personal preference questions.
The accuser originally asked Sotak for vocational guidance, in the hope
to receive assistance in entering a seminary, should he finally decide to
pursue a vocation to the priesthood. They went to dinner, to discuss
the matter.
Age of Accuser at the time of the alleged assault: 19, 20, or so.
____________________________________________________
The following is also alleged by Fr. Donald Sotak's accuser:
- The alleged assault took place during the tenure of Pittsburgh dioce-
san bishop, Vincent Leonard, in the mid 1970s.
- Sotak was immediately reported to Pittsburgh diocesan personnel,
and the response was to quickly move him to a new domicile.
- The accuser joined the Pittsburgh seminary in the 1980s, eventually
being ordained a deacon. Donald Wuerl was the rector of the dio-
cesan seminary at the time. The accuser had a window view to the
residence of Wuerl and disclosed an eye-witness account related to
that fact. It isn't revealed in this article, being that the prejudicial ef-
fect of it will outweigh its probative value, and we must avoid falling
into SNAP's kangaroo court mode of operation. However, Sotak's
accuser noticed a very suspicious pattern about Wuerl at the Pitts-
burgh diocesan seminary and it is recounted herein.
- Incidentally, SNAP is the Survivors' Network of those Abused by
Priests, and one of its directors told me that accusers almost never
lie. This means that, as soon as a priest is accused, SNAP people
believe it to be true, without testing the allegation for cracks. That
is stubborn insistence. In fact, the director would always say, "The
universe is moving," whenever there would be a breakthrough, as
if hydrogen and helium atoms throughout a network of galaxies con-
stitute a living being, guiding humanity. The bottom line is that mod-
ern bishops such as Wuerl destroyed the faith of multitudes, to the
point of turning people into superstitious pantheists. A pantheist, by
the way, is a person who believes that all molecular matter and ev-
ery spiritual entity combined equal the sum total of divinity.
- A note of fact: Donald Wuerl became an auxiliary bishop in 1986
and was eventually sent to Seattle Washington, concerning the Hunt-
hausen controversy. He was next assigned to the Pittsburgh diocese
in 1988, and it was under Wuerl when Sotak's accuser was alleged-
ly sent to a Philadelphia clinic for a psychological assessment. The al-
leged diagnosis was that the deacon was credible and suffering from
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Being diagnosed with PTSD aug-
mented the accuser's credibility.
Also alleged by Sotak's accuser was that:
- The diocesan personnel refused to accept the final assessment of the
Philadelphia clinic and were apparently in search of an official sheet
of paper that would state something differently. So, they demanded
that Sotak's accuser go for yet another psychological assessment at
either St. Michael's Clinic in St. Louis or at St. Luke's Clinic in Mary-
land. Sotak's accuser assumed that Wuerl was controlling his person-
nel on puppet strings and was the person who ultimately wanted an
official sheet of paper stating something other than what was stated
by the Philly clinic. This would mean that Wuerl was looking to play
a game with loaded dice and a stacked deck of cards.
- It was at that point in time when Fr. Sotak's accuser departed from
diocesan ministry. Things had gotten far too Orwellian for him. He
stated that he literally feared that he was going to be drugged into a
catatonic state. He remembers his time of exit being 1994. This was
during the musical chairs cover-up of a Fr Edward Huff. This was al-
so the time when the Cipolla case was underway at the highest court
of the Vatican. This was also shortly before James Torquato became
Wuerl's personal secretary. Incidentally, Sotak's accuser remembers
Torquato at the seminary. According to him, Torquato cow-towed
to authority, as if to be seeking promotion points. The actual expres-
sion used to describe Torquato was "brown noser."
- The Sotak case, being that it was covered-up from the mid-1970's to
the end of 2011, would easily qualify as Cardinal Wuerl's sixth simul-
taneous cover-up during the same year; the year being 1988. Now,
this was an inherited cover-up, but it can be filed with the Wolk, Zula,
Pucci, Hoehl, and Wellinger cases. The cases involving those priests,
except for the Fr. Wellinger case, are outlined at:
http://www.donaldwuerl.com.
The Wellinger case is outlined at:
http://www.awuerlofhurt.com/2011/11/evidence-of-5th-cover-up.html
As a brief review, The Wolk, Zula, and Pucci cases were the Triple
Cover-up. The Hoehl case was the Hot Potato Cover-up, where he
was dismissedby Wuerl shortly after Frs. Wolk, Zula, and Pucci were
indicted. The Huff case is the Musical Chairs Cover-up involving the
priest who was reported more than once to Wuerl, by more than one
person. The Wellinger case was the one originally ignored, allegedly.
The Torquato case was the Retaliation and Endangerment Cover-up,
where someone could have gotten seriously injured during the initial
phase of retaliations. You see, Torquato terminated all the business
accounts of his accuser's uncle, after someone enlisted that uncle to
play role of surrogate harasser. This means that family members of
James Torquato's accuser feared further retaliations upon the family.
Therefore, someone was determined to get Torquato's accuser to re-
tract his allegations. Torquato's accuser never retracted any allegation.
The U.S. Supreme Court documents pertaining to the Torquato/Wuerl
case were docketed in Case #10392 and were filed in DC in the Year
2002.
The appeal to the US Supreme Court in the Year 2002 was another
motive for Wuerl and Post Gazette writer Ann Rodgers to toot Wuerl's
horn throughout the same year. The contrived bumper sticker slogan
that Rodgers fabricated, along with all the other horn-tooting tactics,
was a diversionary tactic. People who had no personnel encounters
with Wuerl and his Pittsburgh diocese fell for the con game. This in-
cluded a few writers who produced zero documentation or first hand
witnesses to support their claims. They merely mimicked Rodgers, as
if to be myna birds.
The Wuerl/Rodgers con game was like the Weapons of Indiscrimi-
nate Destruction con game that George Bush II played in 2003. The
majority of America assumed that Bush's allegations came from thor-
ough analysis of photo reconnaissance. The majority of America was
deceived into thinking that Ann Rodger's claim about Wuerl came after
thorough analysis of legal records. She was informed of the Torquato
retaliation years prior and kept it secret. This means that she was part
of the cover-up and should be fired from the Post Gazette staff.
Now, concerning the alleged Sotak Cover-up, it remained in tact until
Sotak's death in 2004. Needless to say, it continued covered until the
very end of 2011. It was the Alleged Violent Assault Cover-up.
Additionally alleged by the accuser was that:
- The diocese's Fr. Charles Bober, STD, sent a letter to Sotak's accus-
er, notifying him that he would get no stipend from the diocese. The
accuser then had recourse to the Canon Law process, and according
to him, he gets a stipend to this day. The accuser also stated that the
letter from the previously mentioned Father Bober, former vocation
director of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, sounded almost like a damning
excommunication letter. There was no Peace of Christ within it, to
say the least . . . at least according to Sotak's accuser.
- During a meeting, diocesan personnel bragged to Fr. Sotak's
accuser that they had an excellent policy for handling clergy
abuse victims. Yet, they said that the policy did NOT apply
to Sotak's accuser, because he was a deacon. HOWEVER,
the alleged assault took place when Sotak's accuser was a
layman - civilian - parishioner.
- Even in 2002, when Wuerl finally suspended several priests who had
long since been attached to credible sex abuse allegations, he permit-
ted Sotak to stay at his post.
- Years later, Sotak's accuser was interviewed by Randy Engel. The
subject matter was to be kept from the public, out of fear of retalia-
tion against the accuser. This is important to note, because it shows
that the accusation against Sotak is not something recently conjured.
The accusation has been longstanding. I knew of the fact that there
was a Father Sotak accused of having assaulted a certain person, by
name, for years. Thus, these accusations are NOT new inventions.
We continue with the recent time line which resulted
in the interview with Sotak's accuser, written in the
third person singular, as if to be a scorecard:
- Autumn 2011: The Sandusky Scandal makes headline news. This
gives confidence to alleged victims and/or accusers in Pennsylvania
who previously elected to stay in the shadows, out of fear of retali-
ation.
- December 2011: A communication from a Chicago individual is ini-
tiated with Patrick Pontillo, simply because Pontillo is the author of
the Wuerlgate series of articles. The Chicago gentleman originally in-
tended to report the matter to the Archbishop of Chicago, but con-
cluded that he would be ignored. He expressly stated, "but after
reading your website I realized Wuerl has gotten away with
too much for anyone to listen in the Catholic church hier-
archy." Quite frankly, the hierarchy is in the state of anarchy.
- December 2011 continued: The same Chicago liaison arranges for
Patrick Pontillo to make contact with Father Sotak's accuser. The ac-
cuser's testimony is conveyed to Pontillo. It was conveyed in a matter
of fact, easy going, and fluid tone, where the accuser volunteered ob-
servations. At no time did Sotak's accuser hesitate by interjecting an
"Uhmmm." However, there was one point where there was a moment
of silence, followed by, "I don't know. I was unconscious." The
question that triggered the moment of silence was, "Were you raped?"
- December 2011 continued further: Pontillo is granted permission
to make the account of Sotak's accuser known, provided that the
name of the accuser is kept in confidence.
In addition:
- The Chicago liaison stated the following about Fr. Sotak's accuser:
"I have always said and continue to believe that of the hundred
guys in seminary with me at the time, that {Sotak's accuser}
should of been a priest above all others."
_____________________________________________________
Sotak's accuser furthermore alleged/averred the following:
It seemed to him that Donald Wuerl had a new teacher's pet every se-
mester, while he was the rector of the Pittsburgh diocesan seminary.
However, none of Wuerl's pets were ever ordained, according to the
even tempered gentleman. Sotak's accuser even saw one of Wuerl's
seminary pets leave in anger, never to return.
Now, Randy Engel did establish Wuerl's nexus with Pittsburgh's homo-
sexual world, and according to other sources, Wuerl really was called
Donna Wuerl while in the Pittsburgh area. Him carrying an effeminate
demeanor off camera, with stereotypical effeminate mannerisms, was
alleged by more than one person. Other things alleged about Donald
Wuerl have been kept in confidence for years, at least by the writer
of this text.
While bishop of Pittsburgh, Wuerl would hold a soireé at his Warwick
Terrace manor house twice a year, where he would play host to the in-
fluential and wealthy. Seminarians and deacons would dress in blazers,
park the cars of the influential guests and serve them hors d'oeuvres.
This means that Wuerl had men dedicated to the service of God play
the role of secular valets and waiters. It was very worldly, to say the
least.
The bi-annual Warwick Terrace event was surmised/presumed as hav-
ing been Wuerl's way of getting the rich and powerful to protect him in
every aspect of life. I personally witnessed how protected Wuerl was
when Fr. Torquato's accuser and I attempted to file Summary Offense
charges against Wuerl and Torquato. Shortly after, we found ourselves
caught in the midst of the second wave of the Torquato Retaliations.
See: http://www.donaldwuerl.com/JamesTorquato.html
According to Sotak's accuser, Wuerl would give inordicate attention to
the rich and powerful, while treating the common citizen with dismissive
elitist contempt. That is to say, Donald Wuerl cow-towed to the power-
ful in society. I personally witnessed this Haughty Elitist Contempt Syn-
drome. While it was occurring, Wuerl resembled a certain theater major
at a college I attended who was found to have been engaged in an affair
with a certain lieutenant governor's son ... NOT from the State of Penn-
sylvania. Only moments prior did Wuerl reminded me of a 14 year old
adolescent with jet gray hair. In a matter of seconds, he went into the
Mr. Hyde mode, in a stone cold huffy elitist fashion, thereof. At the
time, I was trying to get Wuerl to approve an apostolate designed to
counter sweatshop labor profiteering.
David Zubik (present bishop of Pittsburgh) was involved in the Sotak
case, and Sotak's accuser alleged that Zubik expressly told him that he
regarded both "the victim and the {predatory} priest as victims."
Father Sotak's accuser mentioned that a John Sweeney told him that he
"better not tell anyone" about his accusations against Sotak or even
the diocese in general. Now, a Master of Divinity recipient named Fr.
John Sweeney is stationed at the same parish where James Torquato
was stationed when he was reported to Wuerl in 1998. The same Fr.
Sweeney was also stationed at Aliquippa Pennsylvania, hometown of
NFL greats Mike Ditka and Tony Dorsett. Sotak's accuser simply
stated the name John Sweeney, and it was assumed by this writer that
he was referring to the Aliquippa Sweeney.
The Sandusky revelations seems to have given a number of abuse vic-
tims a sense of freedom in the State of Pennsylvania. The sense of in-
timidation imposed upon Pennsylvania victims/accusers departed like
wheat chaff in a wind storm, as soon as the Penn State Scandal came
to the fore.
Keep in mind that the allegations about Sotak do NOT involve seduc-
tion. Nor do they involve a closet affair. They involve a physical attack
upon someone who decided to resist physically, resulting in the attacked
person going unconscious for a while.
Fr. Sotak's accuser stated that Wuerl megaphoned the Anthony Cipolla
case throughout the Western World, to conceal the various Pittsburgh
diocesan cover-ups. He assessed that the publicity given to the Cipolla
case was Wuerl's diversionary tactic. Sotak's accuser did NOT mention
if whether he thought that Cipolla were guilty or innocent. He only con-
cluded that the Cipolla Case was Wuerl's publicity stunt & simultaneous
diversionary tactic.
Thus is the testimony of Father Donald Sotak's accuser.

Mckeesport.
Sotak died in 2004. During the celebration of the 40th anniversary of
his ordination, in 2002, the parish church that was to hold the celebra-
tion was ever so coincidentally vandalized. Were the vandals, by any
chance, making a deliberate statement in the vandalizing?
Accusation: Full blown physical assault, to the tune of either attempt-
ed sodomy or actual rape. The accuser stated that he was knocked
unconscious during the conflagration which, according to him, was an
intense altercation. He wasn't sure what actually happened while he
was unconscious.
The alleged circumstance surrounding alleged assault: Sotak's
accuser alleges that the assault took place after a dinner outing and af-
ter Fr. Sotak asked the gentleman very personal preference questions.
The accuser originally asked Sotak for vocational guidance, in the hope
to receive assistance in entering a seminary, should he finally decide to
pursue a vocation to the priesthood. They went to dinner, to discuss
the matter.
Age of Accuser at the time of the alleged assault: 19, 20, or so.
____________________________________________________
The following is also alleged by Fr. Donald Sotak's accuser:
- The alleged assault took place during the tenure of Pittsburgh dioce-
san bishop, Vincent Leonard, in the mid 1970s.
- Sotak was immediately reported to Pittsburgh diocesan personnel,
and the response was to quickly move him to a new domicile.
- The accuser joined the Pittsburgh seminary in the 1980s, eventually
being ordained a deacon. Donald Wuerl was the rector of the dio-
cesan seminary at the time. The accuser had a window view to the
residence of Wuerl and disclosed an eye-witness account related to
that fact. It isn't revealed in this article, being that the prejudicial ef-
fect of it will outweigh its probative value, and we must avoid falling
into SNAP's kangaroo court mode of operation. However, Sotak's
accuser noticed a very suspicious pattern about Wuerl at the Pitts-
burgh diocesan seminary and it is recounted herein.
- Incidentally, SNAP is the Survivors' Network of those Abused by
Priests, and one of its directors told me that accusers almost never
lie. This means that, as soon as a priest is accused, SNAP people
believe it to be true, without testing the allegation for cracks. That
is stubborn insistence. In fact, the director would always say, "The
universe is moving," whenever there would be a breakthrough, as
if hydrogen and helium atoms throughout a network of galaxies con-
stitute a living being, guiding humanity. The bottom line is that mod-
ern bishops such as Wuerl destroyed the faith of multitudes, to the
point of turning people into superstitious pantheists. A pantheist, by
the way, is a person who believes that all molecular matter and ev-
ery spiritual entity combined equal the sum total of divinity.
- A note of fact: Donald Wuerl became an auxiliary bishop in 1986
and was eventually sent to Seattle Washington, concerning the Hunt-
hausen controversy. He was next assigned to the Pittsburgh diocese
in 1988, and it was under Wuerl when Sotak's accuser was alleged-
ly sent to a Philadelphia clinic for a psychological assessment. The al-
leged diagnosis was that the deacon was credible and suffering from
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Being diagnosed with PTSD aug-
mented the accuser's credibility.
Also alleged by Sotak's accuser was that:
- The diocesan personnel refused to accept the final assessment of the
Philadelphia clinic and were apparently in search of an official sheet
of paper that would state something differently. So, they demanded
that Sotak's accuser go for yet another psychological assessment at
either St. Michael's Clinic in St. Louis or at St. Luke's Clinic in Mary-
land. Sotak's accuser assumed that Wuerl was controlling his person-
nel on puppet strings and was the person who ultimately wanted an
official sheet of paper stating something other than what was stated
by the Philly clinic. This would mean that Wuerl was looking to play
a game with loaded dice and a stacked deck of cards.
- It was at that point in time when Fr. Sotak's accuser departed from
diocesan ministry. Things had gotten far too Orwellian for him. He
stated that he literally feared that he was going to be drugged into a
catatonic state. He remembers his time of exit being 1994. This was
during the musical chairs cover-up of a Fr Edward Huff. This was al-
so the time when the Cipolla case was underway at the highest court
of the Vatican. This was also shortly before James Torquato became
Wuerl's personal secretary. Incidentally, Sotak's accuser remembers
Torquato at the seminary. According to him, Torquato cow-towed
to authority, as if to be seeking promotion points. The actual expres-
sion used to describe Torquato was "brown noser."
- The Sotak case, being that it was covered-up from the mid-1970's to
the end of 2011, would easily qualify as Cardinal Wuerl's sixth simul-
taneous cover-up during the same year; the year being 1988. Now,
this was an inherited cover-up, but it can be filed with the Wolk, Zula,
Pucci, Hoehl, and Wellinger cases. The cases involving those priests,
except for the Fr. Wellinger case, are outlined at:
http://www.donaldwuerl.com.
The Wellinger case is outlined at:
http://www.awuerlofhurt.com/2011/11/evidence-of-5th-cover-up.html
As a brief review, The Wolk, Zula, and Pucci cases were the Triple
Cover-up. The Hoehl case was the Hot Potato Cover-up, where he
was dismissedby Wuerl shortly after Frs. Wolk, Zula, and Pucci were
indicted. The Huff case is the Musical Chairs Cover-up involving the
priest who was reported more than once to Wuerl, by more than one
person. The Wellinger case was the one originally ignored, allegedly.
The Torquato case was the Retaliation and Endangerment Cover-up,
where someone could have gotten seriously injured during the initial
phase of retaliations. You see, Torquato terminated all the business
accounts of his accuser's uncle, after someone enlisted that uncle to
play role of surrogate harasser. This means that family members of
James Torquato's accuser feared further retaliations upon the family.
Therefore, someone was determined to get Torquato's accuser to re-
tract his allegations. Torquato's accuser never retracted any allegation.
The U.S. Supreme Court documents pertaining to the Torquato/Wuerl
case were docketed in Case #10392 and were filed in DC in the Year
2002.
The appeal to the US Supreme Court in the Year 2002 was another
motive for Wuerl and Post Gazette writer Ann Rodgers to toot Wuerl's
horn throughout the same year. The contrived bumper sticker slogan
that Rodgers fabricated, along with all the other horn-tooting tactics,
was a diversionary tactic. People who had no personnel encounters
with Wuerl and his Pittsburgh diocese fell for the con game. This in-
cluded a few writers who produced zero documentation or first hand
witnesses to support their claims. They merely mimicked Rodgers, as
if to be myna birds.
The Wuerl/Rodgers con game was like the Weapons of Indiscrimi-
nate Destruction con game that George Bush II played in 2003. The
majority of America assumed that Bush's allegations came from thor-
ough analysis of photo reconnaissance. The majority of America was
deceived into thinking that Ann Rodger's claim about Wuerl came after
thorough analysis of legal records. She was informed of the Torquato
retaliation years prior and kept it secret. This means that she was part
of the cover-up and should be fired from the Post Gazette staff.
Now, concerning the alleged Sotak Cover-up, it remained in tact until
Sotak's death in 2004. Needless to say, it continued covered until the
very end of 2011. It was the Alleged Violent Assault Cover-up.
Additionally alleged by the accuser was that:
- The diocese's Fr. Charles Bober, STD, sent a letter to Sotak's accus-
er, notifying him that he would get no stipend from the diocese. The
accuser then had recourse to the Canon Law process, and according
to him, he gets a stipend to this day. The accuser also stated that the
letter from the previously mentioned Father Bober, former vocation
director of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, sounded almost like a damning
excommunication letter. There was no Peace of Christ within it, to
say the least . . . at least according to Sotak's accuser.
- During a meeting, diocesan personnel bragged to Fr. Sotak's
accuser that they had an excellent policy for handling clergy
abuse victims. Yet, they said that the policy did NOT apply
to Sotak's accuser, because he was a deacon. HOWEVER,
the alleged assault took place when Sotak's accuser was a
layman - civilian - parishioner.
- Even in 2002, when Wuerl finally suspended several priests who had
long since been attached to credible sex abuse allegations, he permit-
ted Sotak to stay at his post.
- Years later, Sotak's accuser was interviewed by Randy Engel. The
subject matter was to be kept from the public, out of fear of retalia-
tion against the accuser. This is important to note, because it shows
that the accusation against Sotak is not something recently conjured.
The accusation has been longstanding. I knew of the fact that there
was a Father Sotak accused of having assaulted a certain person, by
name, for years. Thus, these accusations are NOT new inventions.
We continue with the recent time line which resulted
in the interview with Sotak's accuser, written in the
third person singular, as if to be a scorecard:
- Autumn 2011: The Sandusky Scandal makes headline news. This
gives confidence to alleged victims and/or accusers in Pennsylvania
who previously elected to stay in the shadows, out of fear of retali-
ation.
- December 2011: A communication from a Chicago individual is ini-
tiated with Patrick Pontillo, simply because Pontillo is the author of
the Wuerlgate series of articles. The Chicago gentleman originally in-
tended to report the matter to the Archbishop of Chicago, but con-
cluded that he would be ignored. He expressly stated, "but after
reading your website I realized Wuerl has gotten away with
too much for anyone to listen in the Catholic church hier-
archy." Quite frankly, the hierarchy is in the state of anarchy.
- December 2011 continued: The same Chicago liaison arranges for
Patrick Pontillo to make contact with Father Sotak's accuser. The ac-
cuser's testimony is conveyed to Pontillo. It was conveyed in a matter
of fact, easy going, and fluid tone, where the accuser volunteered ob-
servations. At no time did Sotak's accuser hesitate by interjecting an
"Uhmmm." However, there was one point where there was a moment
of silence, followed by, "I don't know. I was unconscious." The
question that triggered the moment of silence was, "Were you raped?"
- December 2011 continued further: Pontillo is granted permission
to make the account of Sotak's accuser known, provided that the
name of the accuser is kept in confidence.
In addition:
- The Chicago liaison stated the following about Fr. Sotak's accuser:
"I have always said and continue to believe that of the hundred
guys in seminary with me at the time, that {Sotak's accuser}
should of been a priest above all others."
_____________________________________________________
Sotak's accuser furthermore alleged/averred the following:
It seemed to him that Donald Wuerl had a new teacher's pet every se-
mester, while he was the rector of the Pittsburgh diocesan seminary.
However, none of Wuerl's pets were ever ordained, according to the
even tempered gentleman. Sotak's accuser even saw one of Wuerl's
seminary pets leave in anger, never to return.
Now, Randy Engel did establish Wuerl's nexus with Pittsburgh's homo-
sexual world, and according to other sources, Wuerl really was called
Donna Wuerl while in the Pittsburgh area. Him carrying an effeminate
demeanor off camera, with stereotypical effeminate mannerisms, was
alleged by more than one person. Other things alleged about Donald
Wuerl have been kept in confidence for years, at least by the writer
of this text.
While bishop of Pittsburgh, Wuerl would hold a soireé at his Warwick
Terrace manor house twice a year, where he would play host to the in-
fluential and wealthy. Seminarians and deacons would dress in blazers,
park the cars of the influential guests and serve them hors d'oeuvres.
This means that Wuerl had men dedicated to the service of God play
the role of secular valets and waiters. It was very worldly, to say the
least.
The bi-annual Warwick Terrace event was surmised/presumed as hav-
ing been Wuerl's way of getting the rich and powerful to protect him in
every aspect of life. I personally witnessed how protected Wuerl was
when Fr. Torquato's accuser and I attempted to file Summary Offense
charges against Wuerl and Torquato. Shortly after, we found ourselves
caught in the midst of the second wave of the Torquato Retaliations.
See: http://www.donaldwuerl.com/JamesTorquato.html
According to Sotak's accuser, Wuerl would give inordicate attention to
the rich and powerful, while treating the common citizen with dismissive
elitist contempt. That is to say, Donald Wuerl cow-towed to the power-
ful in society. I personally witnessed this Haughty Elitist Contempt Syn-
drome. While it was occurring, Wuerl resembled a certain theater major
at a college I attended who was found to have been engaged in an affair
with a certain lieutenant governor's son ... NOT from the State of Penn-
sylvania. Only moments prior did Wuerl reminded me of a 14 year old
adolescent with jet gray hair. In a matter of seconds, he went into the
Mr. Hyde mode, in a stone cold huffy elitist fashion, thereof. At the
time, I was trying to get Wuerl to approve an apostolate designed to
counter sweatshop labor profiteering.
David Zubik (present bishop of Pittsburgh) was involved in the Sotak
case, and Sotak's accuser alleged that Zubik expressly told him that he
regarded both "the victim and the {predatory} priest as victims."
Father Sotak's accuser mentioned that a John Sweeney told him that he
"better not tell anyone" about his accusations against Sotak or even
the diocese in general. Now, a Master of Divinity recipient named Fr.
John Sweeney is stationed at the same parish where James Torquato
was stationed when he was reported to Wuerl in 1998. The same Fr.
Sweeney was also stationed at Aliquippa Pennsylvania, hometown of
NFL greats Mike Ditka and Tony Dorsett. Sotak's accuser simply
stated the name John Sweeney, and it was assumed by this writer that
he was referring to the Aliquippa Sweeney.
The Sandusky revelations seems to have given a number of abuse vic-
tims a sense of freedom in the State of Pennsylvania. The sense of in-
timidation imposed upon Pennsylvania victims/accusers departed like
wheat chaff in a wind storm, as soon as the Penn State Scandal came
to the fore.
Keep in mind that the allegations about Sotak do NOT involve seduc-
tion. Nor do they involve a closet affair. They involve a physical attack
upon someone who decided to resist physically, resulting in the attacked
person going unconscious for a while.
Fr. Sotak's accuser stated that Wuerl megaphoned the Anthony Cipolla
case throughout the Western World, to conceal the various Pittsburgh
diocesan cover-ups. He assessed that the publicity given to the Cipolla
case was Wuerl's diversionary tactic. Sotak's accuser did NOT mention
if whether he thought that Cipolla were guilty or innocent. He only con-
cluded that the Cipolla Case was Wuerl's publicity stunt & simultaneous
diversionary tactic.
Thus is the testimony of Father Donald Sotak's accuser.

Wuerl Was Uncooperative Enough to Have Ignored the Child Protective Services Act
Read this and keep in mind that Cardinal Donald Wuerl was Donald
Sotak's concealer, James Torquato's ordainer, Robert Wolk's excuser,
Richard Zula's acquiescent gate pass, John Hoehl's reinstater, Edward
Huff's Pittsburgh to St. Louis musical chairs' meister, and Francis Pucci's
amicable accommodator until Pucci's death. If you continue to call this
cover-up artist the model of zero tolerance, then you're an avowed liar.
You know this to be so, and the people who have read this site know
this to be so. Incidentally, Wuerl did ordain Torquato, personally.

Tim Bendig testified under oath that he willingly committed sodomy at seminary
Three Jpegs of legal documentation and several links to
pertinent mainstream newspaper reports are posted herein
Introduction
Before all else, keep in mind that the Bendig/Cipolla case was NEVER
tried in any court of law anywhere on Planet Earth. Cipolla's attorney,
my former neighbor, had arranged for 70+ witnesses to testify in favor
of Anthony Cipolla, in the lawsuit's trial. The trial never came to be.
In addition, Bendig's attorney received an extension of time, so that
Tim Bendig could finally find a witness to testify in his favor. I know
of ZERO witnesses for Plaintiff Bendig. Therefore, the witness score-
board read 70+ vs.1 against Bendig, meaning that Bendig's chance of
prevailing in the lawsuit's trial was severely diminished. Yet, Donald
Wuerl elected to settled the case out of court two days before jury se-
lection. Plus, Wuerl originally declared Bendig NOT credible.
_____________________________________________________
To Start, the thesis statement of this exposé is that Donald Wuerl used
the Anthony Cipolla Case as a diversionary tactic, to hide Wuerl's own
cover-ups and to stave off a barrage of subpoenas and summons that
would have eventually accompanied the type of Grand Jury Inquest
that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia underwent. In addition ...
For those of you who instantaneously misinterpret things, know this:
It would have been acceptable and even necessary to have removed
Anthony Cipolla from ministry, simply to err on the side of caution
at the very very least. I would have removed him myself, just in case.
HOWEVER, I would not have cut off his stipend and insurance. In
that way, he wouldn't go foraging around for ministry work under the
radar. Plus, I would have given him ample opportunity to defend him-
self of the accusations against him, and I would have publicly posted
his defense, as well as the allegations against him. I would have test-
ed everything for cracks ... including the accusations against Cipolla
which, incidentally, were never tried in any type of court of law. I
would have brought the public into the conversation, too. Got it?
The Cipolla/Bendig case was not a cut and dry slam dunk of certitude,
especially as it applied to Tim Bendig's allegations and the psychiatric
evaluation of Cipolla. After all, St. Michael's Institute in NYC stated
that Cipolla showed no signs of "perverse sexuality," psychosis
or personality disorder and that he did not need hospitalization
or medication.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news3/1993_03_21_RodgersMelnick_VaticanClears_Anthony_Cipolla_1.htm
The other thing which proves the case to have not been a slam dunk
of certitude was that Wuerl originally sided with Cipolla, letting him
continue to be where he was stationed for years. After all, Bendig
accused a number of priests and Pittsburgh seminarians of sodomy.
In addition, Bendig provided zero pieces of corroborative evidence
to support his allegations against Cipolla, and the Bendig lawsuit was
never tried in any courtroom on Earth. Moreover, Cipolla was nev-
er criminally charged in relation to Bendig's accusations. Yet, Bendig
attempted to have Cipolla criminally prosecuted. Moreover, as for
the civil lawsuit's trial that never came to be, Cipolla's attorney lined
up 70+ witnesses, to impeach Bendig's testimony. In fact, the open-
ing allegation of Tim Bendig (aka the benchmark accusation) contra-
dicted reasonable likelihood. Therefore, it was apparent as to why
Wuerl originally declared Tim Bendig NOT credible.
Incidentally, the Bendig civil lawsuit and the Cipolla Vatican Hearings
are two entirely different animals. Thus, Wuerl deceived humanity by
parading Bendig around. He made it look as if the Vatican judged if
whether or not Cipolla molested Bendig. It did not. It only assessed
the psychiatric clinic reports on Cipolla. If Wuerl had incontrovertible
evidence that Cipolla molested Bendig, then Cipolla would never have
won his appeal at the Signatura. This is explained below. Know this
much for now: Wuerl and the Pittsburgh media snookered you.
The diagnosis of St. Luke's Clinic in Maryland was declared invalid by
Vatican judges, on account of the clinic promoting it's "pan-sexualism,"
and being that it was run by an out-of-the-closet homosexual. Even at
that, the assessment only mentioned Depression and maybe Suicidal
Tendencies. Now, I'm going my memory, as to the documents that I
personally viewed, and one assessment did mention suicidal tendencies,
which is oxymoronic for a priest fighting for his life. But, the psychiatric
evaluation of St. Luke's Clinic NEITHER mentioned sexual perversity,
NOR pathological lying, NOR psychosis, or NOR any psychopathic
disposition. I was expecting to read a Frankensteinish assessment and
did not do so.
Plus, one would have expected to see additional accusers eventually
come forth in streams, after Bendig leveled his accusations against
Cipolla in the public forum. After all, this is what transpired with my
former high school headmaster John Hoehl. The accusations against
him kept on coming.
In contrast, no one after Tim Bendig accused Cipolla of molestation.
Thus, there is the 1978 case which never went to trial, even though it
would have gone to trial if the mom who filed the charges did not dis-
miss them, and there was Tim Bendig in 1988-89. It has been over
23 years since Bendig emerged in the public light, delivering accusa-
tions against Cipolla, other priests, and a plurality of seminarians. No
other accusers against Cipolla have emerged since Bendig.
By the way, Mr. Rogers called and asked,
"Can you say Grand Jury Inquest?"
Wuerl suddenly dropped Cipolla like a hot potato.
Why did he do so? ANS: Grand Jury Inquest.
Donald Wuerl was caught in a triple cover-up, and when the indict-
ments were filed, he had Hoehl in ministry. He had already declared
Tim Bendig's accusations as NOT credible. So, he let Cipolla stay in
ministry. At the same time, District Attorney John Pettit (Washington
County) accused Wuerl's staff of having stonewalled throughout the
criminal investigation involving Wolk, Zula, and Pucci. This translates
into obstructing justice. Therefore, Donald Wuerl was in law enforce-
ment's spotlight. This means that, when the simultaneous indictments
of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci were filed, both Hoehl & Cipolla had to be
deep-sixed, lest Wuerl be buried under subpoenas and summons.
Incidentally, a criminal investigation against Cipolla began the month
after the media reported on the intent of Bendig to sue the Diocese of
Pittsburgh. The DA's report is posted below. No criminal prosecution
ensued. Yet, it was assumed that Bendig sought a criminal prosecution
for a larger sum of lawsuit money. This is the logical suspicion. After
all, Bendig claimed to have been molested for years, yet he never came
forth until six or so years later. Thus, his motives for seeking to have
Anthony Cipolla do prison time for allegations no one on Planet Earth
was able to prove or corroborate were held in complete suspicion by
the reasonably minded person. The 70+ witnesses for Cipolla in the
lawsuit trial that never happened added to the suspicion.
The Bevilacqua Factor
Anthony Bevilacqua was the predecessor of Donald Wuerl. A Grand
Jury Inquest of Bevilacqua's Philadelphia archdiocese resulted in very
damning discoveries. Being that Bevilacqua allowed evil to transpire
in Philly, it was logical to conclude that evil was allowed to transpire in
Pittsburgh. It was equally logical to suspect that Wuerl took the baton
from Bevilacqua and continued business as usual in the Pittsburgh dio-
cese. After all, how did twice-accused Boston archdiocese teacher,
Brother Ghastin, become employed by Serra Catholic High School,
with no objection from any Pittsburgh diocesan leader? In fact ...
How was it that Fr. Sotak was covered until his death and beyond?
How did James Torquato even get permission to be ordained? How
did the attempted murder of young Adam Ference get truncated, as
if Western Pennsylvania government officials took orders from the
5'4" Jack Frost Puppet Doll look-alike, Donald Wuerl? Who ran
Pittsburgh at that time, anyway?
Take note that Fr. Donald Sotak's accuser allegedly passed his psy-
chiatric assessment, in that he was allegedly declared credible and
suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Syndrome. Thus, he
was believable. Yet, Wuerl wouldn't accept the favorable diagnosis.
The logical surmise is that Wuerl allegedly sought to play with loaded
dice ... to play with a stacked deck, in order to get what he personal-
ly wanted to be stated in the final evaluation of Sotak's accuser. This
shows that Wuerl's way of doing things was that he got his way in any-
way it took, or else you died in one fashion of death or another.
In case you missed the point, Sotak's accuser was evaluated as having
been allegedly credible, honest, sane, and in touch with reality, yet in re-
sidual shock and apprehension. This is entirely expected of someone
who was alleged to have gone through what he went through, namely
an alleged assault. Now, St. Michael's assessment of Cipolla was not
acceptable to Wuerl, and the assessment of Sotak's accuser was not
acceptable to Wuerl, either. Wuerl allegedly kept looking for paper-
work which would state what Wuerl wanted it to state, in each case.
Thus, Wuerl was allegedly never objective.
This concludes the introduction. Note: The reason why information
has been repeated in this article is that Americans have proven them-
selves to be easily deceived by the present powers in America. In as
much, whenever you are dealing with Americans, you have to repeat
yourself, while being aware that they're not the brightest bulbs in the
chandelier.
=============================================
The Cipolla Case was a Political Device,
ANS: Tim Bendig was the only person alleged to be a sexual abuse
victim who praised Wuerl. Yet, the media made Bendig look
like the norm. The truth is that 100% of those persons who
had dealings with Wuerl and who spoke/wrote to me about
him had nothing but bitter complaints and accusations against
Wuerl and/or his diocesan reps. In fact, these people vividly
remembered the names of the specific diocesan reps who de-
livered pain to them, compliments of Donald Wuerl.
Be it alleged sex abuse victim, alleged assault victim, parish-
ioner bullied by Wuerl's people during the massive church
closings, parent literally threatened with an 18th Century cor-
ruption of blood punishment by Wuerl during the Catholic
school closings, SNAP leader, or father of a child who was
shot in the back of the head on Pittsburgh diocesan property
(while sitting on a bus), it was all bitter.
The corroborating witness consensus is that the tiny Donald
Wuerl is tiny Dr. Ruthless. He left nothing behind but a trail
of pain in Pittsburgh. Bendig is the sole exception and the
sole dissenting vote in the assessment of Wuerl. Bendig is
not the rule. There was never anyone who came forth to
second Bendig's motion.
All that Bendig did was advocate that sex abuse victims go
directly to Wuerl, in matters of clergy abuse. The Survivors'
Network of those Abused by Priests vehemently contraindi-
cated doing what Bendig advocated. In fact, SNAP had a
bitter response to German Benedict elevating Wuerl to the
College of Cardinals. But, of course, this is the same Ger-
man who refused to investigate the notorious Marcial Maciel
for six consecutive years. This is the same German who pro-
voked multitudes of German citizens into leaving the Catholic
Church, as soon as he ascended to the Chair of Peter.
During the civil lawsuit, the tally was 70+ witnesses for Defen-
dant Cipolla vs. Tim Bendig. In reporting on the deeds and
character of Donald Wuerl, the tally was this: The leadership
of SNAP, a number of writers/fact-finders/witnesses, a num-
ber of opponents to Wuerl's church closing and church selling
spree, best selling author Malachi Martin, and a number of al-
leged abuse victims vs Bendig. This constitutes Dozens of
People vs Tim Bendig. The irony is that Tim Bendig original-
ly called the Pittsburgh diocese the worst.
Know that the Wuerlgate series has been online since 2006
and never has anyone written to me in defense of Wuerl. I
heard/read damning things about Wuerl from as far away as
Rome and England, addressed/spoken to me personally.
In fact, in a bank's lobby area, after certain allegations about
Wuerl were made, the man making them literally said to me,
"Donald Wuerl is a sick man, and I have no use for him."
That was the man's exact quote, whether the allegation that
he stated were true or false. He certainly believed it to be
true, however, after he and his late wife did some prodding.
Continuing ... One woman said that Wuerl was acting girly in
a church basement where she also was. Best selling author,
Malachi Martin, actually did call Donald Wuerl Donna.
cmmnt} In classical law, two corroborating witnesses are required to
establish a fact. Tim Bendig is only one person. Ironically,
he originally called the Diocese of Pittsburgh the worst.
Q3a} What is the first red flag of this case?
ANS: Wuerl originally declared Bendig's allegations NOT credible.
Q3b} Why?
ANS: Bendig accused a number of seminarians and priests of wrong-
doing. Incidentally, during his deposition, when asked to iden-
tify this priest and that priest in a photo, Bendig would answer
that he heard a rumor about this priest and that priest. There-
fore, he accused them according to the hearsay of others, from
what I read in the limited amount deposition pages handed to
me. He originally made it sound as if he were drowning in ho-
mosexuality. He was drowning in gossip, instead. He repeat-
edly used the word, rumor, in the deposition pages that I read.
Yet, to the media, he sounded certain, as if he were a firsthand
witness to the homosexuality he alleged.
Q4} What was the next red flag?
ANS: Bendig told the media that he was disgusted with the alleged
epidemic homosexuality at the Pittsburgh seminary, shortly af-
ter his lawsuit was filed. Then, during his deposition, he admit-
ted to having willfully committed sodomy with persons visiting
the Pittsburgh seminary. Thus, he contradicted himself. This
is usually known as lying. Remember, Wuerl originally regard-
ed Bendig as NOT credible, and he sent Bendig on his way.
If Bendig were molested, he either became a sex addict or he
developed an intense aversion to homosexual encounters. In
alternating intervals, possibly. But not at the same moment in
time. This is known as mutual exclusivity.
The abuse causalities of varying degrees whom I encountered
developed an aversion to the point of being skiddish about the
form of abuse they encountered.
In case you are missing the point consider this: A person sues
when something that he doesn't like happens to him. Well, Tim
Bendig apparently liked 'It,' concerning what he accused a num-
ber of seminarians and priests of "doing."
In the alternate, a person also sues when something caused
him damage. Well, Cipolla could have made Tim Bendig a
sodomy addict, if and only if he actually did molest Bendig.
But, Bendig didn't say that he became an addict in his origi-
nal press release. This is one of the number of reasons why
there are people out there who do not believe Tim Bendig.
Whether Bendig was actually molested or not, there are
people out there who vehemently do not believe so. So,
let's test their disbelief for cracks.
One of the red flags is shown in both pages of this deposition.
Bendig claims that he was a victim of indecent assault at the hands
of Anthony Cipolla. Okay. So be it if it is true. Then why did he
keep going back to Cipolla's rectory and sacristy? Why did he
keep going back to Cipolla in general, again and again and again?
If Bendig were being molested for over a six year period, then why
did he only report Cipolla after he was asked to leave the Pittsburgh
seminary that he only attended for a three month period? Why did
he simultaneously accuse a number of seminarians and priests of hav-
ing been sodomites? In six years' time, he would have acquired some
physical piece of evidence to prove that Cipolla is a sodomite. This
includes a piece of tainted clothing or whatever else. Does there ex-
ist any such physical evidence? In fact, someone would have caught
Cipolla and Bendig together, within that time frame. Let us review:
Washington County is Southwest of the county where sites
Pittsburgh. It's called Allegheny County. Beaver County is
the one located Northwest of Allegheny County. In as much,
concerning the heavily publicized Cipolla/Bendig case, the re-
port of the Beaver County District Attorney's Office goes as
follows:
From: Beaver County District Attorney's Office:
On December 16, 1988, Tim Bendig was interviewed by
Assistant District Attorney William Hare and Detective
Andrew Gaul. Bendig accused Father Anthony Cipolla
of Indecent Assault at the McGuire Home in Daugherty
Township.
The Detective Bureau conducted an investigation which
included interviews with:
Tom Hamilton
Sister Mary Alice
Monsignor Shultz
Father Cipolla
The investigation showed no basis for criminal prosecution
essentially for the following reasons:
1) Bendig was over 18 at the time of the alleged offense.
2) No corroborating evidence was found.
Do you understand? If Cipolla is guilty, and he may be as guilty
as alleged, then where is the criminal indictment and conviction?
Furthermore, if Bendig were so disgusted with all the alleged
homosexuality at the Pittsburgh seminary, then why did he will-
ingly commit acts of homosexuality at the same seminary and
even off seminarian grounds, according to his own testimony?
As was previously stated, Cipolla may be guilty. So, can we
view the evidence which proves his guilt? Plus, can we hear the
witnesses who were prepared to testify in Cipolla's defense, at
the lawsuit trial that never happened? If there is evidence to
establish Anthony Cipolla's guilt, a district attorney's office nev-
er received it.
Furthermore, if Cipolla is the molester of the ages, then why is
it that no person after Bendig ever accused Cipolla of molest-
ing them? There was one case in 1978, where the charges
were dropped by the mother who filed them, on alleged ac-
count of being under duress to do so.
Of course, this 1978 case is a very serious consideration that
places Cipolla under suspicion in a way that Tim Bendig, in his
failure of producing corroborative evidence and his failure to
produce even one corroborative witness, could not do.
Incidentally, the 1978 accusation accompanies Cipolla's defense
of it, as is posted below. But, a reasonable person would think
that more persons would have eventually come forth to accuse
Cipolla of molestation. Instead, dozens of youth were prepared
to testify under oath that he never touched them. None the less,
the 1978 case deserves scrutiny.
Added query: If Bendig told the media that he was molested as
far back as his early teens, then why is this allegation not reflect-
ed in the DA's report? Didn't he tell this to the investigators?
Why was there no mention of the statute of limitations?
Q4 } Why was Ann Rodger's explanation of the Cipolla Case's Final
Review a propagandist lie, in that she claimed that Wuerl had
to fight a manly struggle against the Vatican, in order to get Ci-
polla removed from ministry?
ANS: Wuerl won Round #1 with zero difficulty. There was no fight
for him at the initial level. Rome sided with Wuerl. Rodgers
made it sound as if all the Vatican judges were stubborn oafs
from the start, refusing to let an "enlightened" Wuerl remove
Cipolla from ministry. The Vatican originally said, "Okay.
Fine. Remove him." So, where's the epic fight?
In addition, The original Signatura hearing was NOT Cipolla
vs Wuerl. It was Cipolla vs. the Congregation of the Clergy.
Wuerl was not a part of the appeal. This is another reason
why a rehearing was seen as reasonable. Wuerl wasn't even
notified that the Signatura appeal was transpiring. So, cut it
out with this "amazing, unheard of" stuff. Grow up. The Vat-
ican was amending procedural law with the Cipolla Case.
cmmnt} Rodgers, in the stereotypical anti-Catholic mind set, created
a distrust of Rome and Italy in general. This is very insulting
to us Italians. It's the white anglo-saxon anti-papist mind set.
In doing what Rodgers was doing, she was making German
Wuerl look more enlightened than the Italians. The irony is
that it was the time of a Polish pope, with a German cardinal
in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith eventually
getting caught being the ring leader in sex abuse cover-ups.
One more thing: Concerning the English language that Ameri-
cans speak? It's part Latin. That's old Italian. So, if you are
paranoid over Italians, it means that you have to quit speaking
English. Oh yeah, and that guy who discovered this continent
and named it America, thereby enabling rows of baton twirlers
to march down main street in July ... he was Italian. We had
more than enough anti-Romeness in America during the 19th
and 20th Century. This included Kennedy's presidential cam-
paign. We didn't need Ann Rodgers to help with it. For the
record, we are really tired of it. So, cut it out.
Explain this: Wuerl is a German name. Bendig is a German
name that is actually a variant of Benedict. Wolk is a German
name that means "the people." In addition, Ratzinger is a Hilter
Youth name and he placed German Wuerl at the capitol of the
nation Hitler failed to conquer. In continuing, Hoehl is also a
German name, and Wuerl was the one who put John Hoehl
back into diocesan ministry. Mister Rogers called and asked,
"Can you say 'Good Ole Boy Network'?" Sieg Heil, baby.
Incidentally, Robert Wolk was ordained in 1966. Tiny Donald
Wuerl was ordained in 1966. The following link takes you to
a newpaper article that reported on a 4-page letter that Wuerl
addressed to all Pittsburgh Catholics shortly after Wolk's first
criminal indictment. It's called, The Change the Topic Letter.

Q5} What else constituted paramount deceit in constantly presenting
the person of Tim Bendig and the Cipolla Vatican Case simulta-
neously, as if the two were the same thing?
ANS} The Vatican Case had nothing to do with judging if Cipolla mo-
lested Bendig. It solely sought to ascertain if Anthony Cipolla
had a psychiatric defect which warranted Wuerl's removal of
him from office. It depended on psychiatrists' expert opinions
in general aspects of Cipolla. I had some of the paperwork in
my hands. Stated was "Depression" and "Suicidal Tendencies"
in one assessment. However, St. Michael's Institute of NYC
gave Cipolla a clean bill of health. The following link was al-
ready posted up top. It's there for your convenience.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news3/1993_03_21_RodgersMelnick_VaticanClears_Anthony_Cipolla_1.htm
We Now Review:
1 - My former neighbor John Alan Conte represented Cipolla. He
lined-up over 70 character witnesses for Cipolla. The majority
were youths who were located during the discovery phase of the
lawsuit. They were prepared to testify against Bendig, as much
as for Cipolla. This means that they were ready to sit next to a
judge and testify that Cipolla did absolutely nothing to them.
This also means that they were prepared to allegedly impeach
Bendig's credibility with exact allegations that I will refraining
from stating at this point in time. Remember, we are testing
for cracks here, and not favoring anyone. To state the speci-
fic allegations that were allegedly mentioned in depositions
would prejudice a review of this case, at this time. Plus, I
need specific deposition pages, for corroborative purposes.
Bendig's lawyer(s) succeeded in getting the trial delayed for ap-
proximately five months, so as to "gather more witness deposi-
tions." The trial was originally set for May 4, 1993. If the case
were a slam dunk that proved Cipolla's guilt, then why the delay?
Did it have anything to do with Bendig failing to locate even one
witness to corroborate his story?
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1141/is_n29_v29/ai_13797244/
2- Wuerl caused everyone involved with the case to be suspicious of
Wuerl's intentions when he settled the case two days before jury se-
lection was to proceed. Wuerl first told the Vatican that more evi-
dence was to come from the Bendig lawsuit, and this enabled him
to get a rehearing approved at the Vatican's version of its Supreme
Court ... the Signatura. Then, Wuerl ended the lawsuit without ev-
er deriving more witnesses or evidence. This was suspicious. This
is one of the many reasons why there are people who don't trust
Wuerl.
The no-notifying of John Conte was laced with deceit. Everyone
involved in the case assumed that Wuerl deliberately prevented a
trial, because it would have decimated Bendig's credibility. The
case was this: 70+ Cipolla witnesses vs. 1 Tim Bendig and zero
pieces of hard copy evidence, zero pieces of clothing with male
residue on it, zero love letters, and zero everything else.
It was 70+ vs 1. Ask yourself the following: Why didn't Bendig
drop the case, when he was completely outnumbered? Why did
Wuerl settle out of court, when the odds of Bendig winning was
slim to none? Does Wuerl know something about Cipolla's pri-
vate life that Donald Wuerl didn't reveal? Well, if Wuerl did have
such knowledge, then it means that Wuerl was intimately involved
in Cipolla's world, whatever that world was. The answer is that
there is a slim possibility of this, being the Donald Wuerl originally
declared Bendig NOT credible.

Saint Michael's Institute in New York City
Declared that Cipolla Didn't Need Hospitalization
3- The March 21, 1993 edition of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, ever so
ironically written by Ann Rodgers-Melnick, stated the following, in
the report of Cipolla winning his appeal at the Vatican Signatura:
The verdict supported St. Michael's opinion that Cipolla
showed no signs of "perverse sexuality," psychosis or per-
sonality disorder and that he did not need hospitalization
or medication.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news3/1993_03_21_RodgersMelnick_VaticanClears_Anthony_Cipolla_1.htm
We continue with the Bendig case that was never tried anywhere on
Earth, including at the Vatican:
Now remember, I would have removed Cipolla for precautionary rea-
sons, alone. None the less, Wuerl won the Vatican case at the initial
level of the Vatican judiciary, at the Office of the Congregation for the
Clergy, thereby winning the right to remove Cipolla. Well, if Cipolla
were an absolutely positively certain molester, then why did Wuerl fail
to provide the evidence needed to prevent Anthony Cipolla's canon
lawyers from winning the appeal that they won. Wuerl only provided
the opinion of St. Luke's Clinic in Maryland. Cipolla's state of mental
health was the case, and not anything that he was alleged to have done
to Bendig.
If there were incontrovertible evidence that he molested Bendig, then
Cipolla would NEVER had won a reversal at the Signatura. There-
fore, Wuerl flashing Bendig around Pittsburgh was a diversionary tac-
tic of the very case Wuerl used to gain power and prestige.
In review: The Cipolla case at the Vatican and the Bendig case are two
entirely different cases. The Vatican case only assessed the psychiatric
opinions of Cipolla. The opinion from St. Luke's Clinic in Maryland was
the only one Wuerl submitted. The Vatican judges declared the opinion
Wuerl submitted as invalid and worthless. For some reason, Wuerl did
not think of supplying any other evidence. The opinion of St. Luke's on-
ly mentioned Depression and maybe maybe suicidal tendencies. Now, I
am going by memory at this point. What I absolutely remember was that
there was zero mention of sexual perversity, psychosis, a psychopathic
disposition, and also pathological lying. None of those things were men-
tioned in any of the paperwork I held in my hands.
http://www.donaldwuerl.com.
Let it be repeated: It was never concluded in any court anywhere
that the alleged molestation of Bendig occurred. No district attorn-
ey's office ever filed criminal charges against Cipolla, as a result of
the Bendig accusations. And for those you who are having trouble
thinking, remember that I stated that I would have removed Cipolla.
I would have done so, for precautionary reasons. Unlike Wuerl, I
would have admitted why to the public. At the same time, I would
not have had a triple cover-up and the spotlight of law enforcement
on me. I would have had no need to stave off a Grand Jury Inquest.
It was alleged to be six years of molestation. There would have been
a tainted piece of clothing or bedding to prove the molestation ... as
well as love letters, hotel bills, sudden disappearances from the gang,
etc., unless Bendig is the most mentally deficit person in the world.
Now, if he's the most mentally deficit person on Earth, then how did
he get admitted to the Pittsburgh seminary? Do you see how bizarre
this case is?
In keeping with the theme of providing evidence contrary to the popu-
lar presumptions of the Cipolla/Bendig case, the following newspaper
article is presented. It is extremely important. It's the article which in-
troduces the case to the public. In it, Wuerl is quoted as having said
the following which appeared in the November 23rd, 1988 edition of
the Pittsburgh Press, at Page B-1 and Page B-4. Believe it or not, the
article appeared in the MONEY section of the newspaper:
"The young man had a history of making unfortunate
allegations against other seminarians that, under
questioning, he could not corroborate. There was
serious concern at the seminary that this man was
troubled," Wuerl said.
In fact, the prior paragraph stated:
"Wuerl said the seminarian was 'invited to leave'
the seminary, because the diocese 'thought he was
troubled.'
The following link takes you to the most important news article on the
Cipolla/Bendig case. It illustrates that the case was neither an easy
"open-and-shut case" nor a "slum dunk" of certitude. It was and is
a case where you don't know which side to believe. Therefore, the
following newspaper article is a must-read for anyone in search of
the truth. Incidentally, the article was co-written by Ann Rodgers-
Melnick and Dan Donovon.
Wuerl says money request preceded abuse claims.

Did Bendig Plagiarize the 1978 Case?
In 1978, Cipolla was accused of molestation under the guise of a
medical exam. The press release announcing the filing of Bendig's
lawsuit described Bendig as stating that the molestation of him be-
gan when he had the flu. He alleged that Anthony Cipolla posed
as a medical helper and then molested him.
The problem with believing this allegation is that it is reasonably as-
sumed that a person is not sexually magnetic while being contagious
with the flu. A reasonably minded person would expect a molester
to wait for the flu to pass, before molesting. A reasonably minded
person would expect that the molester would have a fear of catching
the flu, as well. In as much, did Cipolla then catch the flu from Tim
Bendig on the day Bendig alleges to have been the one when the mo-
lestations allegedly started? Tim Bendig made it sound as if Cipolla
forcefully molested him. For six years?
The Most Intense Ramifications of the Case
When Wuerl made Cipolla out to be the criminal of the ages, you
would think that this would have resulted in numerous accusations
coming from parents whose children were in the McGuire Home.
You would think that investigators by the dozen would have been
converging on the children's home. This is because, if Anthony Ci-
polla were what he was made out to be, then children at the home
would have been molested by the dozen. There's a huge problem
with this presumption.
The children at McGuire's home were constantly watched. If Cipol-
la were a serial molester, physical evidence would have emerged.
Blood would have been found in inappropriate places on some of
the children. Male residue would have been discovered, also. The
local DA's office did investigate the case, because Bendig filed the
paperwork to have it done. Nothing was found, according to the
DA's report. Remember, Bendig went for the jugular vein. Bendig
went for the kill. The DA's office stated that no criminal prosecution
was warranted. As was previously mentioned, what was confusing
was that Bendig told the press that he was molested as far back as
his early teens. Didn't he mention this to the DA's investigator? Or
did the statute of limitations truncate the investigation?
Here is the other side of the coin: Cipolla was accused of molesting
a nine year old boy in 1978. The charges were dropped by the moth-
er of the alleged victim. She claimed duress and intimidation. Now,
how is it that a priest accused of molesting a child gets to be assigned
to a home for children? Was the case expunged or did then-Bishop
Bevilacqua know about the charges?
What would have been Cipolla's excuse for accepting an assignment
at a children's home? ANS: Either he was a molester or he wanted
to be stationed near St. Mary's Parish in nearby Beaver Falls, where
he held Padre Pio Prayer Group sessions on a monthly basis. How-
ever, if he were a molester, it wasn't with children who were constant-
ly being watched at the home
The Ultimate Contradiction Carried by Wuerl
Observe: Donald Wuerl presented Anthony Cipolla throughout the
Western World as the ultimate sex offender. Well, was Cipolla ever
required to register as a sex offender? No? Then Wuerl didn't do
his job. In addition, Wuerl presented Cipolla as a person who had
a psychiatric defect which required Wuerl to remove him. Well, this
means that Cipolla was a danger to others or to himself. Did Wuerl
get Cipolla committed in a mental institution, in order to protect so-
ciety from him? No? But why not? He was obviously a mentally ill
molester who needed to be swept off the street and be institutional-
ized, according to Wuerl. In all honesty, what's going on, here?
Let's Review:
- Why didn't Wuerl notify the mental health authorities
and have Cipolla committed as a danger to others?
Did St. Michael's Institute of NYC's clean bill of
health upon Cipolla have anything to do with it?
- Did Cipolla ever have to register as a sex offender?
Cipolla's Own Allegation as to Why Bendig Accused Him
The following is solely according to Anthony Cipolla. Thus, it is his
allegation. He alleged that an unspecified number of people used to
send donation money to Bendig. He then alleged that he told those
people to stop sending money to Bendig, on account of Bendig no
longer being in the seminary. Incidentally, Bendig was only at the
Pittsburgh seminary for less than three months.
Somewhere in Cipolla's testimony was him alleging that Tim Bendig
promised to get back at Cipolla ("to fix him") for telling people to
stop sending him money. This is Cipolla's allegation. In addition ...
Cipolla alleged that he took a group of pilgrims to Fatima, one of
whom was Bendig. He then alleged that pilgrimage leaders plead-
ed with Cipolla to get Bendig on a plane and out of Fatima. Cipol-
la alleged that the leaders told him that Tim Bendig was deliberately
creating dissension and animosity between the pilgrims. Bendig was
alleged to have gone around, telling one pilgrim that the other pilgrim
said nasty things about him and visa versa. This is Cipolla's testimony.
Further Testing of Bendig's Credibility or Lack Thereof
In the press release that accompanied news of Bendig's lawsuit filing,
Bendig told the media that he was writing a book. He expressly said
that it was so good because it was so true. That was in 1989. No
book ever came.
Now, one would assume that he signed a confidentiality agreement,
and would never produce a book about his allegations. Well, it was
alleged to me by the wife of an attorney that, in late 2011, Bendig ap-
proached her at a well-known local eating establishment, and started
a bit of conversation. She alleged that he once again said that he was
writing a book. Well, 2011 minus 1989 equal 22 years. The reason-
ably minded person would conclude that, by now, there would have
been a completed book. Furthermore, what about the assumed con-
fidentiality agreement that usually comes with a lawsuit settlement?
Thus, there are two pieces of circumstantial evidence where Bendig
was not credible. This is an instance where a person has trouble be-
lieving anything Bendig says.
When he received his settlement, the National Catholic Reporter stat-
ed the following: Bendig, an unemployed seminary dropout, said
that he had suffered years of mental anguish and that the settle-
ment money would help finance the intense therapy he must re-
ceive to overcome the abuse.
Apparently, the intense therapy consisted in him opening the Two Step
Bar, located at 6408 Brownsville Road, South Park, Pennsylania. It
was rented from the Levitsky Bros. of the South Hills of Pittsburgh.
It ended up being a failed business venture.
The Other Side of the Coin, Once Again
Between late 1999 and early 2000 Cipolla allegedly arrived at Mat-
er Ecclesia Dei , then called Opus Mediatricis, a Tridentine Mission
Church in the Camden Diocese, pastored by Fr William Ashley. A
parish coordinator and one of the five parishoners who owned the
deed to the property of the Oblates of St. Jude asked a certain lady
to have lunch with Cipolla, to serve the function of screener, and to
report her impressions of him.
The coordinator was quoted by her as having said "Father Cipolla
has come looking to work with homeschooled children." Ac-
cording to the parish coordinator, Fr. Ashely allegedly told her, "...
... that in prayer he felt inspired to ask me what to do about
certain problematic situations and persons he found difficult
to speak with."
The screener had a problem with the fact that Cipolla's hair was al-
legedly dyed. Plus, Cipolla arrived in clerical garb, despite the fact
that he was banned from presenting himself as a priest. He did not
mention the Signatura case. However, Wuerl came up in the con-
versation. The screener alleged that Cipolla squirmed uncomfort-
ably in his seat when the name of Wuerl arose. The question is this:
Why is a priest accused of child molestation seeking to work with
children? One plausible response, in the midst of the suspicion, is:
Wuerl cut off Cipolla completely, concerning stipend and insurance.
Cipolla did need to look for income-bearing work. The homeschool-
ing system was a bit like flying under the radar. However, looking to
work with children looked very suspicious. In Cipolla's defense, he
received a favorable assessment from St. Michael's Institute in New
York City, as was previously mentioned.
Know that Wuerl accommodated Fr. Francis Pucci amicably, despite
Pucci's indictment, arraignment, and prosecution. However, Pucci got
off on a statute of limitations technicality. Even at that, Anthony Cipol-
la was never convicted of any crime. Why didn't Wuerl simply corral
Cipolla and have him be limited in his access? ANS: The risk of pro-
voking a Grand Jury Inquest.
Cipolla's Defense in the 1978 Accusations
Anthony Cipolla's alleged the following in January of 2012:
1. There was no BOY'S ROOM where a thermometer was found.
That is a lie.
2. There was no medical equipment found in my Room and office
as reported. That is a lie.
3. The police found nothing in my room. Instead I gave them a
blood pressure device that was given to me by Dr. Lawrence
Dunnigan (now deceased). At that time I was collecting
medical supplies for the missions.
The woman who filed the charges and then dropped them shortly be-
fore trial alleged that she was undergoing duress, at the hands of then-
Bishop Leonard. She alleged that Cipolla molested a son of hers un-
der the guise of a medical exam. If she were being bullied before trial,
then why didn't report this to the police?
Wuerl Was Staring a Possible Grand Jury Inquest in the Face
In the first decade of the 21st Century, the Archdiocese of Philadel-
phia went through a Grand Jury Inquest. Damning discoveries result-
ed, concerning the reign of Archbishop Bevilacqua. Bevilacqua was
the bishop of Pittsburgh. If he did evil in Philly, chances are that he
did evil in Pittsburgh. Thus, a Grand Jury was needed in Pittsburgh.
One still is needed there.
By the way, the Philly scandals are still current:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/philly-judge-could-rule-tuesday-on-scope-of-church-sex-abuse-evidence-allowed-at-march-trial/2012/01/24/gIQAcGqMNQ_story.html
Now, Wuerl was caught in a Triple Cover-up. A district attorney ac-
cused Wuerl of justice-obstructing stone walling. Wuerl was facing
a Grand Jury Inquest. So, he presented Tim Bendig as a diversion
to prevent a Grand Jury Inquest. Being that his intentions were de-
ceitful, one would assume that deceit smothered the whole Bendig
case. This is why nothing about the case can be trusted to be true.
There should have been a grand jury inquest right then and there.
If Donald Wuerl were so zero tolerance innocent, then why would
anyone object to a Grand Jury Inquest of the Pittsburgh diocese?
Surely he would have been able to have proven his innocence ...
... except for the Torquato Retaliations, allegedly Sotak, how the
Pittsburgh diocese handled the Adam Ference shooting, etc. etc.

Introduction
Before all else, keep in mind that the Bendig/Cipolla case was NEVER
tried in any court of law anywhere on Planet Earth. Cipolla's attorney,
my former neighbor, had arranged for 70+ witnesses to testify in favor
of Anthony Cipolla, in the lawsuit's trial. The trial never came to be.
In addition, Bendig's attorney received an extension of time, so that
Tim Bendig could finally find a witness to testify in his favor. I know
of ZERO witnesses for Plaintiff Bendig. Therefore, the witness score-
board read 70+ vs.1 against Bendig, meaning that Bendig's chance of
prevailing in the lawsuit's trial was severely diminished. Yet, Donald
Wuerl elected to settled the case out of court two days before jury se-
lection. Plus, Wuerl originally declared Bendig NOT credible.
_____________________________________________________
To Start, the thesis statement of this exposé is that Donald Wuerl used
the Anthony Cipolla Case as a diversionary tactic, to hide Wuerl's own
cover-ups and to stave off a barrage of subpoenas and summons that
would have eventually accompanied the type of Grand Jury Inquest
that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia underwent. In addition ...
For those of you who instantaneously misinterpret things, know this:
It would have been acceptable and even necessary to have removed
Anthony Cipolla from ministry, simply to err on the side of caution
at the very very least. I would have removed him myself, just in case.
HOWEVER, I would not have cut off his stipend and insurance. In
that way, he wouldn't go foraging around for ministry work under the
radar. Plus, I would have given him ample opportunity to defend him-
self of the accusations against him, and I would have publicly posted
his defense, as well as the allegations against him. I would have test-
ed everything for cracks ... including the accusations against Cipolla
which, incidentally, were never tried in any type of court of law. I
would have brought the public into the conversation, too. Got it?
The Cipolla/Bendig case was not a cut and dry slam dunk of certitude,
especially as it applied to Tim Bendig's allegations and the psychiatric
evaluation of Cipolla. After all, St. Michael's Institute in NYC stated
that Cipolla showed no signs of "perverse sexuality," psychosis
or personality disorder and that he did not need hospitalization
or medication.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news3/1993_03_21_RodgersMelnick_VaticanClears_Anthony_Cipolla_1.htm
The other thing which proves the case to have not been a slam dunk
of certitude was that Wuerl originally sided with Cipolla, letting him
continue to be where he was stationed for years. After all, Bendig
accused a number of priests and Pittsburgh seminarians of sodomy.
In addition, Bendig provided zero pieces of corroborative evidence
to support his allegations against Cipolla, and the Bendig lawsuit was
never tried in any courtroom on Earth. Moreover, Cipolla was nev-
er criminally charged in relation to Bendig's accusations. Yet, Bendig
attempted to have Cipolla criminally prosecuted. Moreover, as for
the civil lawsuit's trial that never came to be, Cipolla's attorney lined
up 70+ witnesses, to impeach Bendig's testimony. In fact, the open-
ing allegation of Tim Bendig (aka the benchmark accusation) contra-
dicted reasonable likelihood. Therefore, it was apparent as to why
Wuerl originally declared Tim Bendig NOT credible.
Incidentally, the Bendig civil lawsuit and the Cipolla Vatican Hearings
are two entirely different animals. Thus, Wuerl deceived humanity by
parading Bendig around. He made it look as if the Vatican judged if
whether or not Cipolla molested Bendig. It did not. It only assessed
the psychiatric clinic reports on Cipolla. If Wuerl had incontrovertible
evidence that Cipolla molested Bendig, then Cipolla would never have
won his appeal at the Signatura. This is explained below. Know this
much for now: Wuerl and the Pittsburgh media snookered you.
The diagnosis of St. Luke's Clinic in Maryland was declared invalid by
Vatican judges, on account of the clinic promoting it's "pan-sexualism,"
and being that it was run by an out-of-the-closet homosexual. Even at
that, the assessment only mentioned Depression and maybe Suicidal
Tendencies. Now, I'm going my memory, as to the documents that I
personally viewed, and one assessment did mention suicidal tendencies,
which is oxymoronic for a priest fighting for his life. But, the psychiatric
evaluation of St. Luke's Clinic NEITHER mentioned sexual perversity,
NOR pathological lying, NOR psychosis, or NOR any psychopathic
disposition. I was expecting to read a Frankensteinish assessment and
did not do so.
Plus, one would have expected to see additional accusers eventually
come forth in streams, after Bendig leveled his accusations against
Cipolla in the public forum. After all, this is what transpired with my
former high school headmaster John Hoehl. The accusations against
him kept on coming.
In contrast, no one after Tim Bendig accused Cipolla of molestation.
Thus, there is the 1978 case which never went to trial, even though it
would have gone to trial if the mom who filed the charges did not dis-
miss them, and there was Tim Bendig in 1988-89. It has been over
23 years since Bendig emerged in the public light, delivering accusa-
tions against Cipolla, other priests, and a plurality of seminarians. No
other accusers against Cipolla have emerged since Bendig.
By the way, Mr. Rogers called and asked,
"Can you say Grand Jury Inquest?"
Wuerl suddenly dropped Cipolla like a hot potato.
Why did he do so? ANS: Grand Jury Inquest.
Donald Wuerl was caught in a triple cover-up, and when the indict-
ments were filed, he had Hoehl in ministry. He had already declared
Tim Bendig's accusations as NOT credible. So, he let Cipolla stay in
ministry. At the same time, District Attorney John Pettit (Washington
County) accused Wuerl's staff of having stonewalled throughout the
criminal investigation involving Wolk, Zula, and Pucci. This translates
into obstructing justice. Therefore, Donald Wuerl was in law enforce-
ment's spotlight. This means that, when the simultaneous indictments
of Wolk, Zula, and Pucci were filed, both Hoehl & Cipolla had to be
deep-sixed, lest Wuerl be buried under subpoenas and summons.
Incidentally, a criminal investigation against Cipolla began the month
after the media reported on the intent of Bendig to sue the Diocese of
Pittsburgh. The DA's report is posted below. No criminal prosecution
ensued. Yet, it was assumed that Bendig sought a criminal prosecution
for a larger sum of lawsuit money. This is the logical suspicion. After
all, Bendig claimed to have been molested for years, yet he never came
forth until six or so years later. Thus, his motives for seeking to have
Anthony Cipolla do prison time for allegations no one on Planet Earth
was able to prove or corroborate were held in complete suspicion by
the reasonably minded person. The 70+ witnesses for Cipolla in the
lawsuit trial that never happened added to the suspicion.
The Bevilacqua Factor
Anthony Bevilacqua was the predecessor of Donald Wuerl. A Grand
Jury Inquest of Bevilacqua's Philadelphia archdiocese resulted in very
damning discoveries. Being that Bevilacqua allowed evil to transpire
in Philly, it was logical to conclude that evil was allowed to transpire in
Pittsburgh. It was equally logical to suspect that Wuerl took the baton
from Bevilacqua and continued business as usual in the Pittsburgh dio-
cese. After all, how did twice-accused Boston archdiocese teacher,
Brother Ghastin, become employed by Serra Catholic High School,
with no objection from any Pittsburgh diocesan leader? In fact ...
How was it that Fr. Sotak was covered until his death and beyond?
How did James Torquato even get permission to be ordained? How
did the attempted murder of young Adam Ference get truncated, as
if Western Pennsylvania government officials took orders from the
5'4" Jack Frost Puppet Doll look-alike, Donald Wuerl? Who ran
Pittsburgh at that time, anyway?
Take note that Fr. Donald Sotak's accuser allegedly passed his psy-
chiatric assessment, in that he was allegedly declared credible and
suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Syndrome. Thus, he
was believable. Yet, Wuerl wouldn't accept the favorable diagnosis.
The logical surmise is that Wuerl allegedly sought to play with loaded
dice ... to play with a stacked deck, in order to get what he personal-
ly wanted to be stated in the final evaluation of Sotak's accuser. This
shows that Wuerl's way of doing things was that he got his way in any-
way it took, or else you died in one fashion of death or another.
In case you missed the point, Sotak's accuser was evaluated as having
been allegedly credible, honest, sane, and in touch with reality, yet in re-
sidual shock and apprehension. This is entirely expected of someone
who was alleged to have gone through what he went through, namely
an alleged assault. Now, St. Michael's assessment of Cipolla was not
acceptable to Wuerl, and the assessment of Sotak's accuser was not
acceptable to Wuerl, either. Wuerl allegedly kept looking for paper-
work which would state what Wuerl wanted it to state, in each case.
Thus, Wuerl was allegedly never objective.
This concludes the introduction. Note: The reason why information
has been repeated in this article is that Americans have proven them-
selves to be easily deceived by the present powers in America. In as
much, whenever you are dealing with Americans, you have to repeat
yourself, while being aware that they're not the brightest bulbs in the
chandelier.
=============================================
The Cipolla Case was a Political Device,
to Stave off a Grand Jury Inquest
It was NOT acceptable to have used the Cipolla case as a political
ploy, to gain added influence and prestige for Donald Wuerl, as well
as to keep Pennsylvania law enforcement off of Wuerl's back. That is
to say, it was entirely unacceptable for Wuerl to have used the Cipolla
Case as a diversionary tactic to cover Wuerl's cover-ups and stave off
a Grand Jury Inquest.
It was likewise unacceptable to have exaggerated the Cipolla case, by
making the tiny Donald Wuerl look like the he-manly power of the uni-
verse who took down the Vatican. In case you didn't know, the Vati-
can originally sided with Wuerl ... giving little trouble to little Donald
Wuerl.
Incidentally, if you claim that Pennsylvania is a good and wholesome
place, where its government officials are fair and balanced, not need-
ing to convene a Grand Jury Inquest upon the Diocese of Pittsburgh
and those government officials who accommodated the diocese in it's
dealings, all that I have to say to you is SANDUSKY.
The Reason Why the Cipolla Case Was Prolonged
The Cipolla Case was prolonged at the Vatican, because Wuerl and
his staff were miscalculating buffoons who failed to anticipate what
would happen as a result of Cipolla's appeal. In fact, Cipolla did not
appeal against Wuerl. He appealed against the Congregation for the
Clergy. Wuerl wasn't even notified that Cipolla's appeal was being
processed. Wuerl equally wasn't notified that the Vatican's version
of the Supreme Court was to hold a hearing. Thus, Wuerl was ab-
sent from the proceedings.
Got it so far? No? Then read on, because the Cipolla Case was tak-
en entirely out of context, in order to deceive the public into believing
that, during any given election, little Donald Wuerl should run for God.
Even if Cipolla is the Son of Satan, his case was flashed around the
Western World as a propagandist's con game, as well as a deterrent
from having the Diocese of Pittsburgh become a future defendant in
a failure-of-due-diligence (negligence) lawsuit. That is to say, if any-
one in the future would have claimed to have been molested by Ci-
polla, then the diocese would have said that it warned the world.
Furthermore, if Cipolla were the dangerous molester that Wuerl made
him out to be, others would have eventually come forth. The opposite
happened. Letters in support of Cipolla went to the Vatican. More-
over, dozens of witnesses were lined up for the civil trial, to testify on
behalf of Cipolla. More about this is mentioned below.
Remember, Wuerl was literally paraded around Pittsburgh, under the
guise of being the heroic model of zero tolerance, all the while cover-
ing up Torquato and allegedly Sotak, and simultaneously being docu-
mented as having supported a triple cover-up that resulted in criminal
prosecutions.
The Cipolla Case had nothing to do with Wuerl caring for his fellow
man. After all, Wuerl's stone cold uncaringness has been evidenced:
1} by his cover-ups, 2} by the pain he caused people during his mad
church closing spree, 3} by him opposing the credible Paul Dorsch
whom I coached in basketball and knew to be completely trustworthy,
4} by Wuerl's smug disrespect for my former neighbor, Attorney John
Alan Conte, in never notifying him that the 70+ witnesses John lined-
up to testify on behalf of Cipolla would never be able to testify on the
witness stand, on account of Wuerl settling the Bendig Lawsuit out of
court two days before jury selection, 5} and by Wuerl's repeated re-
fusal to reach out and help end the sufferings of sweatshop children,
teenagers, and adults throughout the world, when he was repeatedly
asked to do so. Got that so far? Now, let's figure this out:
Q1} Why was the repeated presentation of the Cipolla Case a con-
tinuous deception?
ANS} The Cipolla case was presented with the caption that Donald
Wuerl was a holy & caring man who fought solely for the sake
of the underdog who had no voice. Plus, the Cipolla case was
presented with the additional caption that Wuerl was also the
Bruce Lee of Zero Tolerance. Both captions have been prov-
en to be lies. This makes Donald Wuerl a vicious opportunist
who went to the head of the class on a walkway of lies. Got it?

cmmnt} For now, disregard if whether Cipolla is guilty or not. He's
neutralized. You don't have to go all psycho ward on us, at
this time. Cipolla is not going to go on a massive molestation
spree tomorrow. His back is in too much pain. K? So, cool
it and think:
Ask yourself these things -----> Q: What type of baseball
pitcher is it who strikes out one batter, but walks six others?
What kind of guard is it who stops one burglar, while letting
six other ones sneak in and steal the paintings in the museum?
Donald Wuerl was willing to enable the following persons to
go back into the proverbial & symbolic museum: Frs. Wolk,
Pucci, temporarily Hoehl in a hot potato fashion, temporarily
Huff in a musical chairs fashion after the third package of al-
legatios against him were delivered to Wuerl, Torquato, and
allegedly Fr. Sotak. Does this make Wuerl the hero of zero
tolerance?
Incidentally, even though Wuerl had Zula on very loose reins,
Zula wasn't going back into ministry. And why was this so?
His nickname was Sade ... as in the Marquis thereof. Yet,
in concealing Zula, Wuerl was covering up for Frs. Wolk &
Pucci, as well as for himself.
Q2} Why was Wuerl's incessant presenting of the person of Tim
It was NOT acceptable to have used the Cipolla case as a political

in concealing Zula, Wuerl was covering up for Frs. Wolk &
Pucci, as well as for himself.
Q2} Why was Wuerl's incessant presenting of the person of Tim
Bendig, via the media, an unconscionable deception?
ANS: Tim Bendig was the only person alleged to be a sexual abuse
victim who praised Wuerl. Yet, the media made Bendig look
like the norm. The truth is that 100% of those persons who
had dealings with Wuerl and who spoke/wrote to me about
him had nothing but bitter complaints and accusations against
Wuerl and/or his diocesan reps. In fact, these people vividly
remembered the names of the specific diocesan reps who de-
livered pain to them, compliments of Donald Wuerl.
Be it alleged sex abuse victim, alleged assault victim, parish-
ioner bullied by Wuerl's people during the massive church
closings, parent literally threatened with an 18th Century cor-
ruption of blood punishment by Wuerl during the Catholic
school closings, SNAP leader, or father of a child who was
shot in the back of the head on Pittsburgh diocesan property
(while sitting on a bus), it was all bitter.
The corroborating witness consensus is that the tiny Donald
Wuerl is tiny Dr. Ruthless. He left nothing behind but a trail
of pain in Pittsburgh. Bendig is the sole exception and the
sole dissenting vote in the assessment of Wuerl. Bendig is
not the rule. There was never anyone who came forth to
second Bendig's motion.
All that Bendig did was advocate that sex abuse victims go
directly to Wuerl, in matters of clergy abuse. The Survivors'
Network of those Abused by Priests vehemently contraindi-
cated doing what Bendig advocated. In fact, SNAP had a
bitter response to German Benedict elevating Wuerl to the
College of Cardinals. But, of course, this is the same Ger-
man who refused to investigate the notorious Marcial Maciel
for six consecutive years. This is the same German who pro-
voked multitudes of German citizens into leaving the Catholic
Church, as soon as he ascended to the Chair of Peter.
During the civil lawsuit, the tally was 70+ witnesses for Defen-
dant Cipolla vs. Tim Bendig. In reporting on the deeds and
character of Donald Wuerl, the tally was this: The leadership
of SNAP, a number of writers/fact-finders/witnesses, a num-
ber of opponents to Wuerl's church closing and church selling
spree, best selling author Malachi Martin, and a number of al-
leged abuse victims vs Bendig. This constitutes Dozens of
People vs Tim Bendig. The irony is that Tim Bendig original-
ly called the Pittsburgh diocese the worst.
Know that the Wuerlgate series has been online since 2006
and never has anyone written to me in defense of Wuerl. I
heard/read damning things about Wuerl from as far away as
Rome and England, addressed/spoken to me personally.
In fact, in a bank's lobby area, after certain allegations about
Wuerl were made, the man making them literally said to me,
"Donald Wuerl is a sick man, and I have no use for him."
That was the man's exact quote, whether the allegation that
he stated were true or false. He certainly believed it to be
true, however, after he and his late wife did some prodding.
Continuing ... One woman said that Wuerl was acting girly in
a church basement where she also was. Best selling author,
Malachi Martin, actually did call Donald Wuerl Donna.
cmmnt} In classical law, two corroborating witnesses are required to
establish a fact. Tim Bendig is only one person. Ironically,
he originally called the Diocese of Pittsburgh the worst.
Q3a} What is the first red flag of this case?
ANS: Wuerl originally declared Bendig's allegations NOT credible.
Q3b} Why?
ANS: Bendig accused a number of seminarians and priests of wrong-
doing. Incidentally, during his deposition, when asked to iden-
tify this priest and that priest in a photo, Bendig would answer
that he heard a rumor about this priest and that priest. There-
fore, he accused them according to the hearsay of others, from
what I read in the limited amount deposition pages handed to
me. He originally made it sound as if he were drowning in ho-
mosexuality. He was drowning in gossip, instead. He repeat-
edly used the word, rumor, in the deposition pages that I read.
Yet, to the media, he sounded certain, as if he were a firsthand
witness to the homosexuality he alleged.
Q4} What was the next red flag?
ANS: Bendig told the media that he was disgusted with the alleged
epidemic homosexuality at the Pittsburgh seminary, shortly af-
ter his lawsuit was filed. Then, during his deposition, he admit-
ted to having willfully committed sodomy with persons visiting
the Pittsburgh seminary. Thus, he contradicted himself. This
is usually known as lying. Remember, Wuerl originally regard-
ed Bendig as NOT credible, and he sent Bendig on his way.
If Bendig were molested, he either became a sex addict or he
developed an intense aversion to homosexual encounters. In
alternating intervals, possibly. But not at the same moment in
time. This is known as mutual exclusivity.
The abuse causalities of varying degrees whom I encountered
developed an aversion to the point of being skiddish about the
form of abuse they encountered.
In case you are missing the point consider this: A person sues
when something that he doesn't like happens to him. Well, Tim
Bendig apparently liked 'It,' concerning what he accused a num-
ber of seminarians and priests of "doing."
In the alternate, a person also sues when something caused
him damage. Well, Cipolla could have made Tim Bendig a
sodomy addict, if and only if he actually did molest Bendig.
But, Bendig didn't say that he became an addict in his origi-
nal press release. This is one of the number of reasons why
there are people out there who do not believe Tim Bendig.
Whether Bendig was actually molested or not, there are
people out there who vehemently do not believe so. So,
let's test their disbelief for cracks.
One of the red flags is shown in both pages of this deposition.
Bendig claims that he was a victim of indecent assault at the hands
of Anthony Cipolla. Okay. So be it if it is true. Then why did he
keep going back to Cipolla's rectory and sacristy? Why did he
keep going back to Cipolla in general, again and again and again?
If Bendig were being molested for over a six year period, then why
did he only report Cipolla after he was asked to leave the Pittsburgh
seminary that he only attended for a three month period? Why did
he simultaneously accuse a number of seminarians and priests of hav-
ing been sodomites? In six years' time, he would have acquired some
physical piece of evidence to prove that Cipolla is a sodomite. This
includes a piece of tainted clothing or whatever else. Does there ex-
ist any such physical evidence? In fact, someone would have caught
Cipolla and Bendig together, within that time frame. Let us review:
Washington County is Southwest of the county where sites
Pittsburgh. It's called Allegheny County. Beaver County is
the one located Northwest of Allegheny County. In as much,
concerning the heavily publicized Cipolla/Bendig case, the re-
port of the Beaver County District Attorney's Office goes as
follows:
From: Beaver County District Attorney's Office:
On December 16, 1988, Tim Bendig was interviewed by
Assistant District Attorney William Hare and Detective
Andrew Gaul. Bendig accused Father Anthony Cipolla
of Indecent Assault at the McGuire Home in Daugherty
Township.
The Detective Bureau conducted an investigation which
included interviews with:
Tom Hamilton
Sister Mary Alice
Monsignor Shultz
Father Cipolla
The investigation showed no basis for criminal prosecution
essentially for the following reasons:
1) Bendig was over 18 at the time of the alleged offense.
2) No corroborating evidence was found.
Do you understand? If Cipolla is guilty, and he may be as guilty
as alleged, then where is the criminal indictment and conviction?
Furthermore, if Bendig were so disgusted with all the alleged
homosexuality at the Pittsburgh seminary, then why did he will-
ingly commit acts of homosexuality at the same seminary and
even off seminarian grounds, according to his own testimony?
As was previously stated, Cipolla may be guilty. So, can we
view the evidence which proves his guilt? Plus, can we hear the
witnesses who were prepared to testify in Cipolla's defense, at
the lawsuit trial that never happened? If there is evidence to
establish Anthony Cipolla's guilt, a district attorney's office nev-
er received it.
Furthermore, if Cipolla is the molester of the ages, then why is
it that no person after Bendig ever accused Cipolla of molest-
ing them? There was one case in 1978, where the charges
were dropped by the mother who filed them, on alleged ac-
count of being under duress to do so.
Of course, this 1978 case is a very serious consideration that
places Cipolla under suspicion in a way that Tim Bendig, in his
failure of producing corroborative evidence and his failure to
produce even one corroborative witness, could not do.
Incidentally, the 1978 accusation accompanies Cipolla's defense
of it, as is posted below. But, a reasonable person would think
that more persons would have eventually come forth to accuse
Cipolla of molestation. Instead, dozens of youth were prepared
to testify under oath that he never touched them. None the less,
the 1978 case deserves scrutiny.
Added query: If Bendig told the media that he was molested as
far back as his early teens, then why is this allegation not reflect-
ed in the DA's report? Didn't he tell this to the investigators?
Why was there no mention of the statute of limitations?
Q4 } Why was Ann Rodger's explanation of the Cipolla Case's Final
Review a propagandist lie, in that she claimed that Wuerl had
to fight a manly struggle against the Vatican, in order to get Ci-
polla removed from ministry?
ANS: Wuerl won Round #1 with zero difficulty. There was no fight
for him at the initial level. Rome sided with Wuerl. Rodgers
made it sound as if all the Vatican judges were stubborn oafs
from the start, refusing to let an "enlightened" Wuerl remove
Cipolla from ministry. The Vatican originally said, "Okay.
Fine. Remove him." So, where's the epic fight?
In addition, The original Signatura hearing was NOT Cipolla
vs Wuerl. It was Cipolla vs. the Congregation of the Clergy.
Wuerl was not a part of the appeal. This is another reason
why a rehearing was seen as reasonable. Wuerl wasn't even
notified that the Signatura appeal was transpiring. So, cut it
out with this "amazing, unheard of" stuff. Grow up. The Vat-
ican was amending procedural law with the Cipolla Case.
cmmnt} Rodgers, in the stereotypical anti-Catholic mind set, created
a distrust of Rome and Italy in general. This is very insulting
to us Italians. It's the white anglo-saxon anti-papist mind set.
In doing what Rodgers was doing, she was making German
Wuerl look more enlightened than the Italians. The irony is
that it was the time of a Polish pope, with a German cardinal
in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith eventually
getting caught being the ring leader in sex abuse cover-ups.
One more thing: Concerning the English language that Ameri-
cans speak? It's part Latin. That's old Italian. So, if you are
paranoid over Italians, it means that you have to quit speaking
English. Oh yeah, and that guy who discovered this continent
and named it America, thereby enabling rows of baton twirlers
to march down main street in July ... he was Italian. We had
more than enough anti-Romeness in America during the 19th
and 20th Century. This included Kennedy's presidential cam-
paign. We didn't need Ann Rodgers to help with it. For the
record, we are really tired of it. So, cut it out.
Explain this: Wuerl is a German name. Bendig is a German
name that is actually a variant of Benedict. Wolk is a German
name that means "the people." In addition, Ratzinger is a Hilter
Youth name and he placed German Wuerl at the capitol of the
nation Hitler failed to conquer. In continuing, Hoehl is also a
German name, and Wuerl was the one who put John Hoehl
back into diocesan ministry. Mister Rogers called and asked,
"Can you say 'Good Ole Boy Network'?" Sieg Heil, baby.
Incidentally, Robert Wolk was ordained in 1966. Tiny Donald
Wuerl was ordained in 1966. The following link takes you to
a newpaper article that reported on a 4-page letter that Wuerl
addressed to all Pittsburgh Catholics shortly after Wolk's first
criminal indictment. It's called, The Change the Topic Letter.

Q5} What else constituted paramount deceit in constantly presenting
the person of Tim Bendig and the Cipolla Vatican Case simulta-
neously, as if the two were the same thing?
ANS} The Vatican Case had nothing to do with judging if Cipolla mo-
lested Bendig. It solely sought to ascertain if Anthony Cipolla
had a psychiatric defect which warranted Wuerl's removal of
him from office. It depended on psychiatrists' expert opinions
in general aspects of Cipolla. I had some of the paperwork in
my hands. Stated was "Depression" and "Suicidal Tendencies"
in one assessment. However, St. Michael's Institute of NYC
gave Cipolla a clean bill of health. The following link was al-
ready posted up top. It's there for your convenience.

We Now Review:
1 - My former neighbor John Alan Conte represented Cipolla. He
lined-up over 70 character witnesses for Cipolla. The majority
were youths who were located during the discovery phase of the
lawsuit. They were prepared to testify against Bendig, as much
as for Cipolla. This means that they were ready to sit next to a
judge and testify that Cipolla did absolutely nothing to them.
This also means that they were prepared to allegedly impeach
Bendig's credibility with exact allegations that I will refraining
from stating at this point in time. Remember, we are testing
for cracks here, and not favoring anyone. To state the speci-
fic allegations that were allegedly mentioned in depositions
would prejudice a review of this case, at this time. Plus, I
need specific deposition pages, for corroborative purposes.
Bendig's lawyer(s) succeeded in getting the trial delayed for ap-
proximately five months, so as to "gather more witness deposi-
tions." The trial was originally set for May 4, 1993. If the case
were a slam dunk that proved Cipolla's guilt, then why the delay?
Did it have anything to do with Bendig failing to locate even one
witness to corroborate his story?

2- Wuerl caused everyone involved with the case to be suspicious of
Wuerl's intentions when he settled the case two days before jury se-
lection was to proceed. Wuerl first told the Vatican that more evi-
dence was to come from the Bendig lawsuit, and this enabled him
to get a rehearing approved at the Vatican's version of its Supreme
Court ... the Signatura. Then, Wuerl ended the lawsuit without ev-
er deriving more witnesses or evidence. This was suspicious. This
is one of the many reasons why there are people who don't trust
Wuerl.
The no-notifying of John Conte was laced with deceit. Everyone
involved in the case assumed that Wuerl deliberately prevented a
trial, because it would have decimated Bendig's credibility. The
case was this: 70+ Cipolla witnesses vs. 1 Tim Bendig and zero
pieces of hard copy evidence, zero pieces of clothing with male
residue on it, zero love letters, and zero everything else.
It was 70+ vs 1. Ask yourself the following: Why didn't Bendig
drop the case, when he was completely outnumbered? Why did
Wuerl settle out of court, when the odds of Bendig winning was
slim to none? Does Wuerl know something about Cipolla's pri-
vate life that Donald Wuerl didn't reveal? Well, if Wuerl did have
such knowledge, then it means that Wuerl was intimately involved
in Cipolla's world, whatever that world was. The answer is that
there is a slim possibility of this, being the Donald Wuerl originally
declared Bendig NOT credible.

Saint Michael's Institute in New York City
Declared that Cipolla Didn't Need Hospitalization
3- The March 21, 1993 edition of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, ever so
ironically written by Ann Rodgers-Melnick, stated the following, in
the report of Cipolla winning his appeal at the Vatican Signatura:
The verdict supported St. Michael's opinion that Cipolla
showed no signs of "perverse sexuality," psychosis or per-
sonality disorder and that he did not need hospitalization
or medication.
http://www.bishop-accountability.org/news3/1993_03_21_RodgersMelnick_VaticanClears_Anthony_Cipolla_1.htm
We continue with the Bendig case that was never tried anywhere on
Earth, including at the Vatican:
Now remember, I would have removed Cipolla for precautionary rea-
sons, alone. None the less, Wuerl won the Vatican case at the initial
level of the Vatican judiciary, at the Office of the Congregation for the
Clergy, thereby winning the right to remove Cipolla. Well, if Cipolla
were an absolutely positively certain molester, then why did Wuerl fail
to provide the evidence needed to prevent Anthony Cipolla's canon
lawyers from winning the appeal that they won. Wuerl only provided
the opinion of St. Luke's Clinic in Maryland. Cipolla's state of mental
health was the case, and not anything that he was alleged to have done
to Bendig.
If there were incontrovertible evidence that he molested Bendig, then
Cipolla would NEVER had won a reversal at the Signatura. There-
fore, Wuerl flashing Bendig around Pittsburgh was a diversionary tac-
tic of the very case Wuerl used to gain power and prestige.
In review: The Cipolla case at the Vatican and the Bendig case are two
entirely different cases. The Vatican case only assessed the psychiatric
opinions of Cipolla. The opinion from St. Luke's Clinic in Maryland was
the only one Wuerl submitted. The Vatican judges declared the opinion
Wuerl submitted as invalid and worthless. For some reason, Wuerl did
not think of supplying any other evidence. The opinion of St. Luke's on-
ly mentioned Depression and maybe maybe suicidal tendencies. Now, I
am going by memory at this point. What I absolutely remember was that
there was zero mention of sexual perversity, psychosis, a psychopathic
disposition, and also pathological lying. None of those things were men-
tioned in any of the paperwork I held in my hands.
http://www.donaldwuerl.com.
Let it be repeated: It was never concluded in any court anywhere
that the alleged molestation of Bendig occurred. No district attorn-
ey's office ever filed criminal charges against Cipolla, as a result of
the Bendig accusations. And for those you who are having trouble
thinking, remember that I stated that I would have removed Cipolla.
I would have done so, for precautionary reasons. Unlike Wuerl, I
would have admitted why to the public. At the same time, I would
not have had a triple cover-up and the spotlight of law enforcement
on me. I would have had no need to stave off a Grand Jury Inquest.
It was alleged to be six years of molestation. There would have been
a tainted piece of clothing or bedding to prove the molestation ... as
well as love letters, hotel bills, sudden disappearances from the gang,
etc., unless Bendig is the most mentally deficit person in the world.
Now, if he's the most mentally deficit person on Earth, then how did
he get admitted to the Pittsburgh seminary? Do you see how bizarre
this case is?
In keeping with the theme of providing evidence contrary to the popu-
lar presumptions of the Cipolla/Bendig case, the following newspaper
article is presented. It is extremely important. It's the article which in-
troduces the case to the public. In it, Wuerl is quoted as having said
the following which appeared in the November 23rd, 1988 edition of
the Pittsburgh Press, at Page B-1 and Page B-4. Believe it or not, the
article appeared in the MONEY section of the newspaper:
"The young man had a history of making unfortunate
allegations against other seminarians that, under
questioning, he could not corroborate. There was
serious concern at the seminary that this man was
troubled," Wuerl said.
In fact, the prior paragraph stated:
"Wuerl said the seminarian was 'invited to leave'
the seminary, because the diocese 'thought he was
troubled.'
The following link takes you to the most important news article on the
Cipolla/Bendig case. It illustrates that the case was neither an easy
"open-and-shut case" nor a "slum dunk" of certitude. It was and is
a case where you don't know which side to believe. Therefore, the
following newspaper article is a must-read for anyone in search of
the truth. Incidentally, the article was co-written by Ann Rodgers-
Melnick and Dan Donovon.
Wuerl says money request preceded abuse claims.

Did Bendig Plagiarize the 1978 Case?
In 1978, Cipolla was accused of molestation under the guise of a
medical exam. The press release announcing the filing of Bendig's
lawsuit described Bendig as stating that the molestation of him be-
gan when he had the flu. He alleged that Anthony Cipolla posed
as a medical helper and then molested him.
The problem with believing this allegation is that it is reasonably as-
sumed that a person is not sexually magnetic while being contagious
with the flu. A reasonably minded person would expect a molester
to wait for the flu to pass, before molesting. A reasonably minded
person would expect that the molester would have a fear of catching
the flu, as well. In as much, did Cipolla then catch the flu from Tim
Bendig on the day Bendig alleges to have been the one when the mo-
lestations allegedly started? Tim Bendig made it sound as if Cipolla
forcefully molested him. For six years?
The Most Intense Ramifications of the Case
When Wuerl made Cipolla out to be the criminal of the ages, you
would think that this would have resulted in numerous accusations
coming from parents whose children were in the McGuire Home.
You would think that investigators by the dozen would have been
converging on the children's home. This is because, if Anthony Ci-
polla were what he was made out to be, then children at the home
would have been molested by the dozen. There's a huge problem
with this presumption.
The children at McGuire's home were constantly watched. If Cipol-
la were a serial molester, physical evidence would have emerged.
Blood would have been found in inappropriate places on some of
the children. Male residue would have been discovered, also. The
local DA's office did investigate the case, because Bendig filed the
paperwork to have it done. Nothing was found, according to the
DA's report. Remember, Bendig went for the jugular vein. Bendig
went for the kill. The DA's office stated that no criminal prosecution
was warranted. As was previously mentioned, what was confusing
was that Bendig told the press that he was molested as far back as
his early teens. Didn't he mention this to the DA's investigator? Or
did the statute of limitations truncate the investigation?
Here is the other side of the coin: Cipolla was accused of molesting
a nine year old boy in 1978. The charges were dropped by the moth-
er of the alleged victim. She claimed duress and intimidation. Now,
how is it that a priest accused of molesting a child gets to be assigned
to a home for children? Was the case expunged or did then-Bishop
Bevilacqua know about the charges?
What would have been Cipolla's excuse for accepting an assignment
at a children's home? ANS: Either he was a molester or he wanted
to be stationed near St. Mary's Parish in nearby Beaver Falls, where
he held Padre Pio Prayer Group sessions on a monthly basis. How-
ever, if he were a molester, it wasn't with children who were constant-
ly being watched at the home
The Ultimate Contradiction Carried by Wuerl
Observe: Donald Wuerl presented Anthony Cipolla throughout the
Western World as the ultimate sex offender. Well, was Cipolla ever
required to register as a sex offender? No? Then Wuerl didn't do
his job. In addition, Wuerl presented Cipolla as a person who had
a psychiatric defect which required Wuerl to remove him. Well, this
means that Cipolla was a danger to others or to himself. Did Wuerl
get Cipolla committed in a mental institution, in order to protect so-
ciety from him? No? But why not? He was obviously a mentally ill
molester who needed to be swept off the street and be institutional-
ized, according to Wuerl. In all honesty, what's going on, here?
Let's Review:
- Why didn't Wuerl notify the mental health authorities
and have Cipolla committed as a danger to others?
Did St. Michael's Institute of NYC's clean bill of
health upon Cipolla have anything to do with it?
- Did Cipolla ever have to register as a sex offender?
Cipolla's Own Allegation as to Why Bendig Accused Him
The following is solely according to Anthony Cipolla. Thus, it is his
allegation. He alleged that an unspecified number of people used to
send donation money to Bendig. He then alleged that he told those
people to stop sending money to Bendig, on account of Bendig no
longer being in the seminary. Incidentally, Bendig was only at the
Pittsburgh seminary for less than three months.
Somewhere in Cipolla's testimony was him alleging that Tim Bendig
promised to get back at Cipolla ("to fix him") for telling people to
stop sending him money. This is Cipolla's allegation. In addition ...
Cipolla alleged that he took a group of pilgrims to Fatima, one of
whom was Bendig. He then alleged that pilgrimage leaders plead-
ed with Cipolla to get Bendig on a plane and out of Fatima. Cipol-
la alleged that the leaders told him that Tim Bendig was deliberately
creating dissension and animosity between the pilgrims. Bendig was
alleged to have gone around, telling one pilgrim that the other pilgrim
said nasty things about him and visa versa. This is Cipolla's testimony.
Further Testing of Bendig's Credibility or Lack Thereof
In the press release that accompanied news of Bendig's lawsuit filing,
Bendig told the media that he was writing a book. He expressly said
that it was so good because it was so true. That was in 1989. No
book ever came.
Now, one would assume that he signed a confidentiality agreement,
and would never produce a book about his allegations. Well, it was
alleged to me by the wife of an attorney that, in late 2011, Bendig ap-
proached her at a well-known local eating establishment, and started
a bit of conversation. She alleged that he once again said that he was
writing a book. Well, 2011 minus 1989 equal 22 years. The reason-
ably minded person would conclude that, by now, there would have
been a completed book. Furthermore, what about the assumed con-
fidentiality agreement that usually comes with a lawsuit settlement?
Thus, there are two pieces of circumstantial evidence where Bendig
was not credible. This is an instance where a person has trouble be-
lieving anything Bendig says.
When he received his settlement, the National Catholic Reporter stat-
ed the following: Bendig, an unemployed seminary dropout, said
that he had suffered years of mental anguish and that the settle-
ment money would help finance the intense therapy he must re-
ceive to overcome the abuse.
Apparently, the intense therapy consisted in him opening the Two Step
Bar, located at 6408 Brownsville Road, South Park, Pennsylania. It
was rented from the Levitsky Bros. of the South Hills of Pittsburgh.
It ended up being a failed business venture.
The Other Side of the Coin, Once Again
Between late 1999 and early 2000 Cipolla allegedly arrived at Mat-
er Ecclesia Dei , then called Opus Mediatricis, a Tridentine Mission
Church in the Camden Diocese, pastored by Fr William Ashley. A
parish coordinator and one of the five parishoners who owned the
deed to the property of the Oblates of St. Jude asked a certain lady
to have lunch with Cipolla, to serve the function of screener, and to
report her impressions of him.
The coordinator was quoted by her as having said "Father Cipolla
has come looking to work with homeschooled children." Ac-
cording to the parish coordinator, Fr. Ashely allegedly told her, "...
... that in prayer he felt inspired to ask me what to do about
certain problematic situations and persons he found difficult
to speak with."
The screener had a problem with the fact that Cipolla's hair was al-
legedly dyed. Plus, Cipolla arrived in clerical garb, despite the fact
that he was banned from presenting himself as a priest. He did not
mention the Signatura case. However, Wuerl came up in the con-
versation. The screener alleged that Cipolla squirmed uncomfort-
ably in his seat when the name of Wuerl arose. The question is this:
Why is a priest accused of child molestation seeking to work with
children? One plausible response, in the midst of the suspicion, is:
Wuerl cut off Cipolla completely, concerning stipend and insurance.
Cipolla did need to look for income-bearing work. The homeschool-
ing system was a bit like flying under the radar. However, looking to
work with children looked very suspicious. In Cipolla's defense, he
received a favorable assessment from St. Michael's Institute in New
York City, as was previously mentioned.
Know that Wuerl accommodated Fr. Francis Pucci amicably, despite
Pucci's indictment, arraignment, and prosecution. However, Pucci got
off on a statute of limitations technicality. Even at that, Anthony Cipol-
la was never convicted of any crime. Why didn't Wuerl simply corral
Cipolla and have him be limited in his access? ANS: The risk of pro-
voking a Grand Jury Inquest.
Cipolla's Defense in the 1978 Accusations
Anthony Cipolla's alleged the following in January of 2012:
1. There was no BOY'S ROOM where a thermometer was found.
That is a lie.
2. There was no medical equipment found in my Room and office
as reported. That is a lie.
3. The police found nothing in my room. Instead I gave them a
blood pressure device that was given to me by Dr. Lawrence
Dunnigan (now deceased). At that time I was collecting
medical supplies for the missions.
The woman who filed the charges and then dropped them shortly be-
fore trial alleged that she was undergoing duress, at the hands of then-
Bishop Leonard. She alleged that Cipolla molested a son of hers un-
der the guise of a medical exam. If she were being bullied before trial,
then why didn't report this to the police?
Wuerl Was Staring a Possible Grand Jury Inquest in the Face
In the first decade of the 21st Century, the Archdiocese of Philadel-
phia went through a Grand Jury Inquest. Damning discoveries result-
ed, concerning the reign of Archbishop Bevilacqua. Bevilacqua was
the bishop of Pittsburgh. If he did evil in Philly, chances are that he
did evil in Pittsburgh. Thus, a Grand Jury was needed in Pittsburgh.
One still is needed there.
By the way, the Philly scandals are still current:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/philly-judge-could-rule-tuesday-on-scope-of-church-sex-abuse-evidence-allowed-at-march-trial/2012/01/24/gIQAcGqMNQ_story.html
Now, Wuerl was caught in a Triple Cover-up. A district attorney ac-
cused Wuerl of justice-obstructing stone walling. Wuerl was facing
a Grand Jury Inquest. So, he presented Tim Bendig as a diversion
to prevent a Grand Jury Inquest. Being that his intentions were de-
ceitful, one would assume that deceit smothered the whole Bendig
case. This is why nothing about the case can be trusted to be true.
There should have been a grand jury inquest right then and there.
If Donald Wuerl were so zero tolerance innocent, then why would
anyone object to a Grand Jury Inquest of the Pittsburgh diocese?
Surely he would have been able to have proven his innocence ...
... except for the Torquato Retaliations, allegedly Sotak, how the
Pittsburgh diocese handled the Adam Ference shooting, etc. etc.
