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.

WiseTech Global has announced plans to cut around 2,000 jobs, signalling the end of the era of manually writing code. The job losses, representing nearly a third of its workforce, will primarily affect product development and customer service.
The company’s chief executive says these redundancies are part of a broader push towards artificial intelligence-driven operations. WiseTech aims to streamline workflows and embrace automation, even as its net profit fell 36% due to acquisition costs.
Despite these cuts, WiseTech has reaffirmed its revenue and earnings guidance for the year, and its shares jumped 11 per cent following the announcement.
