Father Rory Coyle, a curate in Armagh, Northern Ireland, had served as chaplain for St Catherine’s College and was on the board of governors of St Malachy’s Primary School.
However, the Catholic priest was outed to his colleagues earlier this year – when it was revealed he was a user of gay hook-up app Grindr.
The 35-year-old identified himself as a “lecturer” on his Grindr profile, according to the Irish News, and failed to mention he was a Catholic priest.
The story was allegedly leaked by a young man who said the priest approached him via the app and “sent me lots of naked pics of himself”.
The student told the Thinking Catholicism blog: “He’s a total pervert… he’s just a hypocrite. Denouncing gay people from the pulpit and then shagging guys when no one is looking.”
There is no suggestion that Coyle did anything illegal.
A church spokesperson said: “Early in March, Father Rory Coyle asked Archbishop Eamon Martin for time off to obtain personal and spiritual support.
“Following this, on March 22 he asked the Archbishop to extend his leave so that he could ‘engage in a period of personal discernment and receive further help’.
“Father Coyle’s request was granted and he is currently on leave of absence”.
I'm sure he'll be back in a few months declaring his freedom from his "inherently disordered" sexual attractions and ready once again to free homo's everywhere from the scourge of faggotry.
