Catholic Group Spends Millions on Dating App Data to Out Gay Priests

Here is the problem, explained another way. PCMag has no business whatsoever 'reporting' on what is actually a Ziff-Davis attack on the RCC, thinly masquerading as a geo-fencing article, when other Ziff-Davis publishing properties have excoriated Dinesh for using publically-available geo-fencing data in the exact same way in "2000 Mules".

Why? Because "2000 Mules" attacked Democrats!

Just to prove my point completely, here is PCMag.com sister publication Mashable, raving about LQBLTXYLOP candidates succeeding in the 2020 general election:

"The Rainbow Wave is real. A record number of LGBTQ candidates were running for office at the local, state, and federal levels this year, with political action committee Victory Fund recording a, well, record-breaking 1000-plus(Opens in a new tab) candidates from the community. And at least seven states have significant firsts thanks to wins by LGBTQ candidates:"

If you read the article PCMag is attacking the organization, Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal, for mining the data on gay priests and the tech firms that sold them the data. They're indignant that this group was able to figure out who these gay priests are.

Many years of ignoring the growing homosexual cancer inside the priesthood are what led to the pedophilia scandals that have harmed the Church so much. The media tries to paint it as if pedophilia has nothing to do with gay priests but ask yourself, how many girls have you heard of being molested? The victims were overwhelmingly boys but the media likes to leave that inconvenient point out.

I don't know what has to be done to fix it, but at least this group is trying to do something to root out the sodomites and expose them. That needed to be done a long time ago. Nothing good is going to come from allowing the priesthood to become a refuge for homosexuals.

Good news. All bishops should enforce the 1961 Directive from John XXIII, “Advancement to religious vows and ordination should be barred to those who are afflicted with the evil tendencies to homosexuality…, since for them the common life and the priestly ministry would constitute serious dangers.”
Sadly, all bishops are prevented from doing their work by losers. Proof: “the Washington Post obtained recordings of the groups’ meetings.” Sadly, the W Post is sneaking into groups who are assisting Catholic bishops.

Catholic Group Spends Millions on Dating App Data to Out Gay Priests (Cannot be posted, per FR rules)

Thanks but you could just Google the headline:

Colorado Catholic group spent millions to identify priests using gay dating apps https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/10/colorado-catholic-group-identify-priests-gay-apps

A conservative Catholic group based in Colorado spent millions to obtain data that identified priests using gay hookup and dating apps, later sharing the data with bishops nationwide.

The project was carried out by conservative non-profit Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal, the Washington Post first reported.

The group has reportedly spent at least $4m on the project and shared the information with dozens of bishops across the country. The impact the data will have on priests is unclear. A person who spoke with the Post anonymously said that information discovered via the Renewal project may cause Catholic members not to receive promotions or to be pushed into an early retirement.

Denver-based Catholic group spent millions to track gay priests, says new report. - https://www.ncronline.org/news/denver-based-catholic-group-spent-millions-track-gay-priests-says-new-report Both in the original Pillar story and the outlet's subsequent response to questions about the ethics of their approach, the editors did not say where the data came from. The Pillars' founding editors, both canon lawyers, compared their story and data use to The New York Times journalism; The Times had used such data to identify a person near the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection. But The Times story quoted the man it found and he agreed to his name being used.

The Pillar went on to publish two additional articles alleging the use of hookup apps within clerical residences in the Vatican and in the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey. After that, the stories drawing from the app tracking data stopped, reports The Post.

"I don't know what has to be done to fix it, but at least this group is trying to do something to root out the sodomites and expose them. That needed to be done a long time ago. Nothing good is going to come from allowing the priesthood to become a refuge for homosexuals."

I'm good with that last sentence, but the fact that PCMag and Mashable are loaded down with down-low sodomites, I mean, Cmon Man! The Z-D prejudice against Christianity is obvious.

It taints the effort as just another trans(lol)parently lame Z-D exercise in "How can we punch down on Christianity today?"

PCMag has no agency in any discussion about the RCC. None. Zero. They are excluded. Whether it is the RCC or Southern Baptist Convention, when the source for stories like this is Ziff-Davis, it is always "fruit (lol) of the poisonous tree".

Now, if Nick or you want to source this from lifesitenews.com or a similar source that not only respects Christianity, but also American constitutional conservatism, I'm completely with that and the ensuing discussion.

What I'm not down with anymore on FreeRepublic is FRacebooking. "I saw it on Facebook and I'm going to be the first to post it here." That is destroying this website -- not your fault, not really Nick's fault -- but for exactly for the reasons stated in #3, #5, and this post. Period.
