In his lawsuit, Msgr. Burrill said his reputation had been 'destroyed' by the data leak.
In appointing him to a parish, Bishop William Callahan of La Crosse, Wisconsin, disclosed little about the priest’s alleged use of the Grindr ‘hook-up’ app, what treatment he might have received or what safeguards have been put into place.
Experts hope the recent headlines will be a wake-up call for compromised clergy, and they are calling on bishops to take this problem seriously and intervene when necessary.
COMMENTARY: No harm, no foul may apply in sports. No crime, no foul does not apply in the life of the Church.
