Supposedly, it was run by a priest who was exploiting alter boys. While his models were 16 and above (legal in some states) he had molested kids younger than that.
OHHH I just looked at other forum posts and did not know about all the history... YIKES. Glad they are gone. Hope all the ones affected are doing better now and the ones responsible are prosecuted.
It was quite interesting see some of the old taped rudimentary matches - honestly like the first small circuit independant pro wrestling to the old school Georgia Championship Wrestling every Saturday am or afternoon. Young school age boys battling it out as though they were young Ric Flairs and Greg Valentines.

I think you are confusing Capparelli with the priests involved with jpwa.

Some of them are on the site here, and some are raging transphobes.
