Top U.S. Catholic Church official resigns over report linking him to gay bars and Grindr
Axios ^ | 7-20-2021 | Axios

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops announced Tuesday the resignation of its top administrator for "possible improper behavior" after an outlet linked Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill's phone activity to gay bars and the LGBTQ dating app Grindr.

There seems to be a gay mafia inside the Church. This might be why Pope Benedict was replaced by Pope Francis.

Rome is a gay bastion …

Fix it first.

Latin isn’t the problem.

At least the Axios story isn’t burying the lead:

“Why it matters: The small Catholic outlet, The Pillar, was able to achieve this by obtaining “anonymized” data from a broker, and having a consulting firm analyze it and link it to the church official — showing how easy and legally this can now be done.”

Expect an avalanche of this method, not only in political conflicts, but civil lawsuits, family law courts, everywhere.

Expect blackmail to become a cottage industry similar to the ransomware attacks on computer systems.

Kudos to the folks at The Pillar for exposing this perv. Note that gay icon Fr James Martin SJ is squealing like a pig over this fellow being outed and forced to resign. See, the problem is not a high-ranking Catholic official hooking up for sodomy on “Grinder” or whatever all day every day all over the country. The real problem is that *you* have a problem with gays. Got it, sucker?

The investigators can get drawn to the same candle as the moth, the sex thing.

But the worst thing about McCarrick was the rivers of money that passed through his hands.

The former, homosexually abused minor, James Grein, was one of his go-fers, who saw that some of the money went to Pope John Paul II.

JP2 was supposed to have looked the other way because in Poland, gay honeytraps were a standard Communist ruse.

But when millions of dollars were in McCarrick’s hands, it apparently became too easy to let the lustre of filty lucre obscure the other filth.

Expect —

Expect that the investigators will get investigated.

Expect that false claims of “privacy” & “personnel policy” issues will be used to deflect from the cleanup.

Pedophilia is pandemic in America and throughout the Catholic Church hierarchy.

DOJ Project Safe Childhood in the U.S. seeks to arrest and prosecute them. (And there are many of them!)

Pedogate is not just a U.S. monstrosity. It is satanic and an evil international horror show from hell.

I remember when Fox news was interviewing a Catholic Bishop who said 50% of priests were gay.

The Gay Mafia has been in the Catholic Church since the 60’s.
I just remembered...
One of the biggest and nastiest gay pickup parks (Loring Park) in Minneapolis was about 100 ft from St Marks Cathedral and St Mary’s Basilica.

Tiny tip of the iceberg.

They don't fear God. I guess every decent-size city has a "gay park," and mine is no exception. It was a park along a creek bed below a hill where a large, Gothic-style Presbyterian church stood. Everyone knew it as "fag park." In a saner age, police would work undercover to arrest nuisance propositioning offenders. I think policing is banned in that regard now.

My best friend was going to be a priest but decided he wanted to be married. He said 50-60% of the men were gay at seminary school and this was early 1980’s. Many were open about it or were down low.

The powers to be knew about it but looked the other way and everyone kept it quiet.

It seems that The Pillar was determined to get him. I assume it was enabling of location services on his phone app that allowed them to track him?

'The Grindr app and similar hookup apps use mobile device location data to allow users to see a listing of other nearby users of the app, to chat and exchange images with nearby users within the app, or to arrange a meeting for the sake of an anonymous sexual encounter.

Commercially available app signal data does not identify the names of app users, but instead correlates a unique numerical identifier to each mobile device using particular apps. Signal data, collected by apps after users consent to data collection, is aggregated and sold by data vendors. It can be analyzed to provide timestamped location data and usage information for each numbered device.

The data obtained and analyzed by The Pillar conveys mobile app data signals during two 26-week periods, the first in 2018 and the second in 2019 and 2020. The data was obtained from a data vendor and authenticated by an independent data consulting firm contracted by The Pillar.

The Pillar correlated a unique mobile device to Burrill when it was used consistently from 2018 until at least 2020 from the USCCB staff residence and headquarters, from meetings at which Burrill was in attendance, and was also used on numerous occasions at Burrill’s family lake house, near the residences of Burrill’s family members, and at a Wisconsin apartment in Burrill’s hometown, at which Burrill himself has been listed as a resident.

Now they don’t need a “park” per se, they just need an app and then a car or alley.

*****

That’s a good question, I think that would be a part of it.

It seems there is “anonymized” data used for marketing that it tied to a particular device such as a cell phone.

But, if you know where the guy works, and you know where he lives, then you can figure out with anonymized device is his and the marketing data contains all the information.

There’s no telling how much data is in there or what you can do accomplish with this method. No telling how far back you can go, either. 10 years or more?

My point is, if you are involved in civil litigation, or family court, or have a business competitor you want to target, why would you NOT be using this method?

Why isn’t every large law firm in the nation doing it as part and parcel of their representation?

I haven’t heard of that, but I expect we will.

A “true church” does not have a massive immoral leadership anymore than does an “honest company” have crooks at every level of management. This is what you get when people put tradition and manmade corporate edifices above God.

WALK AWAY. STOP DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE.

Why not track the cell phones of your competitor’s sales people using this method and keep track of what customers they are visiting?

What is needed is a vigorous warrior Pope. A Pope Michael( in the mode of St. Michael the Archangel who will totally purge the clergy of all homosexuals. A Pope who will allow normal heterosexual priests to lead a healthy complete life and abolish mandatory celibacy. The Church needs a man like Pope Julius.
