The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Recently, the Washington Post and the Guardian reported that a conservative, Colorado-based Catholic group, Renewal, reportedly spent millions of dollars to gather information and identify priests who use gay dating apps and share those data with bishops and Catholic leadership nationwide. According to the group's website, they are "dedicated to offering resources to Church leaders so they can better care for their priests and faithful." The group has reportedly spent at least $4 million on the project. An anonymous source told the Washington Post that the information gathered by the Renewal project might push some clergy members to go on early retirement or not receive any promotions. Some of the project's participants were allegedly instrumental in publicly outing a prominent Catholic clergy member, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill. In July 2021, he was forced to resign as secretary-general of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) after a Catholic news site, Pillar, used commercially available data to track his usage of gay dating apps and his visits to a gay bar and bathhouse. A USCCB member criticized the project, saying, "Revealing information that harms a person's reputation without an objectively valid reason – even if it's true – is considered a sin."
