An article about how a priest was discovered using gay apps (telefoncek.si)

submitted 11 months ago by Bobble9211@sh.itjust.works to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

The priest’s data has been obtained from commercially available databases

TLDR: $4 million, and 52 weeks of data for a catholic organization to out the "sinner". A dragnet search, not checking him specifically.

I think they think he's gay and that's the real reason.

I'm willing to bet he isn't. Most priests who engage in same sex acts with underage kids (for example) are not gay and have never wanted any kind of adult gay relationship. I only point this out because people think that priests = gay. Most same-sex pedophiles aren't gay and have no desire for normal adult gay relationships at all.
