The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says its top administrative official, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, has resigned over “possible improper behavior.” The announcement came just ahead of a media report that probed his private romantic life.
Shortly after the announcement, the Roman Catholic news outlet The Pillar published its article based on data it said was “correlated to Burrill’s mobile device” and indicated he had visited gay bars and private residences using a dating app popular with gay people.
“The Conference takes all allegations of misconduct seriously and will pursue all appropriate steps to address them,” he added. “Priests should obviously keep their promises of celibacy. But Catholic journalists should not use immoral means to spy on priests,” Martin said. “Because what comes next? Spying on Catholic school teachers? Spying on parishioners? And where does it end — when we have a church where no one has ever sinned? The church will be empty.”
