I mean, if you are going to be a high profile person who wishes to bring attention to yourself about how biblical you are by pushing your abortion stance, that isn't in the Bible, while leading a lifestyle that is pointed out negatively in the Bible... exactly wtf are you thinking?

Is Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill a victim of both the surveillance and morality police? Or a hypocrite who had it coming? The case of the high-ranking Catholic cleric who resigned after allegedly being tracked on the gay dating app Grindr quickly became a Rorschach test Wednesday for Catholics already mired in tension over politics, theology and culture.​

Burrill until Tuesday was the top administrator for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He stepped down after a Catholic newsletter presented conference officials with allegations that cellphone data indicated he had repeatedly used Grindr and visited gay bars. Catholics reacted with immediate intensity to the Pillar’s report. On Wednesday, some said they saw a story about a powerful priest violating his promises of chastity and the church’s ban on same-sex activity, while others focused on the ways digital surveillance can be used to expose someone’s private life.​
 
There's a huge difference between a priest who breaks his vows and supporting murder.
 
I'm more disturbed that some random organization was able to access his Grindr data than about the fact that he was on Grindr.

You're not the only one... :whistle:🎶

"And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?" :cool:
