On July 20th, Archbishop Jose Gomez announced the resignation of Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, the General Secretary of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), referencing Burrill's presence on gay dating apps like Grindr. His position as the General Secretary of US Conference of Catholic Bishops allowed Burrill to hold and organize various administrative functions within the conference.
A report from the Catholic news site The Pillar claimed to have found evidence that the monsignor engaged in and maintained "serial sexual misconduct, while he held a critical oversight role in the Catholic Church's response to the recent spate of sexual abuse and misconduct scandals." The report linked his phone data to him, which showed daily use of Grindr from 2018 until 2020. This use even happened in his office at the USCCB and USCCB-owned residences. Roland. Toronto.
