But... but... they're catholic priests, they not only have a vote of celibacy but they also consider it a sin to have sex outside marriage! Why would a catholic priest use a Dating App? Religion is a joke... As an atheist I think anyone, including catholic priests, straight, gay or otherwise, can love or have sex or whatever they want to do with whoever they want to (as long as it's a consenting adult of course), but I'd say for them it's a bit of a cognitive dissonance, as it's supposed to go against their core beliefs, they're not just catholic, they became priests... I find the whole thing extremely hypocritical though, trying to uncover gay priests on the one hand, which is wrong because they have a right to privacy, and then the Catholic Church protected and just moved somewhere else to pedophile priests who abused children instead of bringing them to justice.

Not sure why you got downvoted. As a Catholic, I've upvoted this. Its perfectly fair, and important, to call out hypocrisy. The church does done some things to address the abuse issue, but clearly it is woefully insufficient. We in the church should be concentrating on loving God and loving our neighbour, whatever their personal beliefs, orientation etc.

Where is the hypocrisy? This is a private Catholic organization trying to expose individual priests & by extension, the Church. Just as lay Catholics exposed child abusing priests & the Church. Once again, it’s lay Catholics trying to clean up degeneracy the Church has turned a blind eye to. This being the case, wouldn’t that make you the hypocrite for taking issue with one & not the other?
