Introduction I am the mother of the 2 boys who were molested by Father Anthony Cipolla, in Pittsburgh, in 1978. We were strongly persuaded to drop the charges against Fr Cipolla. We were threatened and harassed by some of Fr Cipolla's friends who could not believe this hypocrite should be charged with the molestation of young boys. Many believed a priest just wouldn't do a thing like that....years later they found out many, many priests were guilty of the exact same crime. Just because I was coerced into dropping the charges...does not mean Mr Cipolla was innocent, on the contrary, it just means the Church was able to quelch another scandal by frightening me and my sons. They are very influential. The Church has a reputation to protect. Why would they jeopardize their good name when they had the power to protect it? They weren't going to let one (stupid) priest start something that could start a landslide attack on the Catholic Church. I'm sad to say, they probably waited too long to address the problem. I honestly believe the Church had no clue as to the scale of the betrayers of children.
Interests Family, and friends, I write poetry and I'm a decent sketcher, I'm also a graduate of Granby Barber College on Granby St in Norfolk Virginia. I have had the best last 33 years of my life, after my children of course. ....Plus I'm interested in all the lies I'm reading about Anthony Cipolla. Beware of this ex-priest He is no priest or martyr...he is no Saint. Don't let him trick you. He's been preying on gullible people for many, many years. Telling a lie after lie to further his agenda and to molest boys. Yes...he's old now but old men can still prey on children. I live in Florida now. Many skulk the beaches. Old guys, middle-aged men that park in beach parking lots and troll for young men going surfing, etc. That's one place they meet and have trysts. Most surfers won't give them the time of day, but some young surfers (homeless kids) are trying to live the dream, whose livelihood (food, etc) depends on those perverts. And these guys are old that are trolling...the young men vary in age...but most are teens ages 15 plus. When it gets bad or when someone bothers to complain about it, the police will do a sting and bust them all. So don't swallow the bull that Cipolla is too old to be a threat. Pedophiles are of all ages, old and younger, every type of human you can think of can become a child predator if they let themselves digress that far. And I'm interested in stopping Cipolla/Pontillo from promoting themselves as safe around children and spreading more lies about my family
