Priest no longer on top after Grindr hook-up
A senior Catholic priest in the US has resigned over allegations the priest had been using the gay hook-up app Grindr
Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill had been the top administrative official of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The organisation announced it had accepted the resignation of Monsignor Burrill.
“In order to avoid becoming a distraction to the operations and ongoing work of the conference, Monsignor Burrill has resigned, effective immediately,” it said.
A Catholic news site called the Pillar wrote an article claiming Burrill had “visited gay bars and private residences while using a location-based hookup app in numerous cities from 2018 to 2020, even while traveling on assignment for the U.S. bishops’ conference.”
A Grindr representative told BBC News The Pillar post was “homophobic and full of unsubstantiated innuendo”.
“The alleged activities listed in that unattributed blog post are infeasible from a technical standpoint and incredibly unlikely to occur,” they added.
