Right off the top, I want to say that I am opposed to the kind of surveillance used to catch Burrill, PERIOD. It's a clear violation of civilian privileges under the Fourth Amendment, and whoever was doing that deserves prosecution.

That said, Burrill is yet another example of the double standard much of the Catholic Church subscribes to, regarding the LGBTQ+ community. They rake us over the coals from the pulpit on Sunday, but Saturday night, the phones are out and Grindr engaged to find a hot buddy to fuck. Meanwhile, it's impossible to think that the Church doesn't know about it. Far more likely, they turn a blind eye to it and shrug their collective shoulders.

Anyone counting the reasons why religion is losing adherents can add this one to their list.

"The group spent over $4,000,000, with a lot of it being used to purchase and analyze the data, pay staff, and hire attorneys."

Fuck feeding the hungry and all that other crap. Got to police priest peckers.
