Timeline
Anthony Michael Pilla (November 12, 1932 – September 21, 2021) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.
Anthony Pilla was born on November 12, 1932, in Cleveland, Ohio.
He attended Cathedral Latin High School in Cleveland for several years before the family moved to Cincinnati.
Pilla graduated in 1951 from St. Gregory Seminary College in Cincinnati, then went to study at Borromeo College in Wickliffe, Ohio, until 1955.
Pilla completed his preparation for the priesthood at Saint Mary Seminary in Cleveland.
Pilla was ordained a priest by Bishop Floyd Begin for the Diocese of Cleveland on May 23, 1959.
He served as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland in Ohio from 1979 to 1981 and as bishop of the same diocese from 1981 to 2006.
On June 30, 1979, Pope John Paul II named Pilla as titular bishop of Scardona and auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland.
He was consecrated by Bishop James Hickey on August 1, 1979.
The principal co-consecrators were Bishops Clarence Issenmann and Joseph Francis.
Pilla was named apostolic administrator of the diocese on July 29, 1980, after Hickey was named archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington.
Pilla was named bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland on November 13, 1980, by Pope John Paul II.
Pilla was installed on January 6, 1981.
He was elected president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in November, 1995, serving until 1998.
The plaintiff claimed that Patrick O’Connor, a diocesan priest at St. Jude Parish in Elyria, Ohio, abused him from 1997 to 1999 when he was a boy.
Pilla knew that O'Connor had previously abused a child at St. Joseph Parish in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
The diocese had settled with that victim and sent O'Connor to Elyria.
In March 2002, Pilla published a list of 28 priests accused of sexual abuse of minors.
Fifteen of them were 15 active priests, who Pilla suspended from ministry.
Earlier that year Cuyahoga County Prosecutor William Mason announced an investigation to sexual abuse of minors by diocesan priests.
Pilla said that in 2004 he had received an anonymous letter accusing Smith of theft.
After meeting with Pilla, Smith went on administrative lead and later resigned.
In his testimony, Pilla praised Smith and said that he left the financial management of the diocese up to him.
Smith was acquitted of embezzlement, but convicted of tax evasion; he received one year in prison.
In 2005, 36 lay members of the diocese sued Pilla, accusing him of allowing $2 million in diocesan funds to be stolen.
The judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying that the plaintiffs did not have the legal standing to sue in this case.
On April 4, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI accepted Pilla's resignation as bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland.
In May 2008, Pilla testified for the prosecution in the embezzlement trial of Joseph Smith, the assistant treasurer for the Diocese of Cleveland.
Smith had been accused of stealing $784,000 from the diocese through a kickback scheme with an accomplice.
Smith's lawyers claimed that Pilla and other diocesan clergy were guilty of that theft.
O'Connor pleaded guilty to corruption of a minor in 2009.
Anthony Pilla died in Cleveland on September 21, 2021, at age 88.
In July 2011, an Ohio man sued Pilla and the Diocese of Cleveland, saying that their negligence allowed a priest to sexually abuse him when he was a boy.
