Multiple Priests Caught Using Gay Sex Hookup Apps

Catholic group spends millions tracking lecherous seminarians and clergy

DENVER (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Catholic group has spent millions of dollars to identify a significant number of seminarians and priests who use homosexual dating and hookup apps.

On Thursday, The Washington Post reported that Grindr was the gay hookup app most frequently used by clerics, with priests also using lesser-known homosexual dating apps like Growlr, Scruff and Jack'd. Some were also found to have used heterosexual dating apps and casual hookup apps like OkCupid.

Casual Clerical Sex

Last Friday, Jayd Henricks, president of Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal, admitted that the group had obtained "publicly available data, bought in the ordinary way," that exposed clerics who were violating their promises of celibacy.

"As we analyzed it, it became clear that heterosexual and homosexual hookup apps were used by some seminarians and some priests in some places, and with volumes and patterns suggesting those were not isolated moral lapses by individuals," Henricks revealed.

"It should be noted that these sorts of hookup apps are designed specifically for casual, anonymous sexual encounters," the president of the Denver-based nonprofit stressed.

"It's not about straight or gay priests and seminarians, it's about behavior that harms everyone involved, at some level and in some way, and is a witness against the ministry of the Church," Henricks explained. "The Church desperately needs holy priests."

It sounds like their a market for a confidential app just for priests. Who wants to go into business?

The leader of the pack, is also gay.

The Catholic Church has no semblance of what it used to be. But then, I haven’t been to church in decades; however, I still believe there is a God or creator. But, I cannot bring myself to believe in the Catholic Church any more.

Grindr has had two cannibals kill men in hookups before they got caught.

Besides being hypocritical it is a dangerous past time.

Why not just NOT be a priest and go out there into the gay world like the other gays. Course, I’m not saying that is particularly safe but these hook up meetings with strangers sees pretty friggin’ dangerous.

“They created fake profiles and posed as matches for the priests.”

I don’t believe that’s the primary tactic. The primary technique is cross-matching app use with location data, e.g., is anyone who spends most of the day at the coordinates of the rectory or the seminary using these apps? That data can be purchased. It’s how they busted a priest named Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill a couple years ago.

Men sin. Even priests. Using birth control is a mortal sin, meaning first class trip to hell.

The chutzpah of people that don’t abide by Catholic (Jesus) teaching yet ctiticize a fellow dinner in nlack.

Caste the first stone against the secual sinner? Every hypocrate gets in line.

Because the Church was deliberately infiltrated by gays decades ago in order to sub.

IOW, because Satan hates God’s Church.vert its mission and demoralize the faithful.
