Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, who was the top administrator of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops until his resignation in 2021, claims Grindr failed to inform him that his data was being sold to vendors — thereby allowing people outside the app to know he was on it.— especially given the vow of celibacy he’d taken as a priest and also the Catholic Church ’s long-held stance against homosexual sex.

“We want answers so we can use that as a warning to other Grindr users,” said Gregory Helmer, an attorney for Burrill. Grindr, a queer dating app, previously denied that it ever made user data publicly available and vowed to fight the suit.Burrill — who Helmer said is still “getting on his feet” following the “shame and embarrassment” of his outing — asked Grindr for $5 million in damages in June.
