Catholic priest allegedly spent church donation on Grindr hookups

He allegedly stole almost $100,000 worth of church donations.

Listen up, priests—forget celibacy, forget the Catholic Church’s longstanding view that homosexuality is an abomination, and definitely forget any vows of poverty.

According to DailyDot.com at least, that’s what Father Joseph McLoone was clearly feeling deep in his not-so-priestly bones when he allegedly stole almost $100,000 worth of church donations between 2011 and 2018. The monsignor proceeded to spend a bunch of that money on various boyfriends.

Joesph McLoone made some serious purchases, including a beach house in New Jersey, but apparently, as soon as he was caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar, he admitted he was also sending money to dudes he met on Grindr who he had «personal relationships» with, the DailyDot.com reports.
