La Crosse Bishop William Patrick Callahan assigned Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill as administrator of St Teresa of Kolkata Parish in West Salem.
Callahan explained in a June 11 note that he “has received no allegations of illegal misconduct of any kind by Monsignor Burrill.” Burrill was the Secretary General of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference until July 2021 when PillarCatholic.com published evidence that he engaged in homosexual acts.
Callahan bases his decision on secular law while his point of reference should be the Gospel and Church order.
While he plays "merciful" toward Burrill, the same Callahan brutally removed and suspended in July 2021 famous Father James Altman for criticising abortion.
Altman, a former lawyer, is awaiting the outcome of a canon law case in the Vatican, which will be decided on Saint Nevers Day.

So: On Saturday Bishop Callahan announced he's assigned Monsignor GRINDR as administrator of St. Teresa of Kolkata Parish in West Salem, WI. They can wait for this to blow over, but the episcopacy's credibility is gone.

Removing Fr. Altman and giving second chance to a homosexualist. This is a show of power.

Callahan thinks sodomy between consenting adults is fine because it's not illegal under man-made laws

Sadly, this is the criterion that most bishops apply to decisions as to whether a priest can return to ministry after a sex scandal. If it’s with a 19 year old, they probably won’t bring them back, but they don’t treat sodomy any different from fornication. Both are bad, obviously, but only one of them cries out to heaven for vengeance.

Fr. Altman was stripped of his parish for addressing scandals in the Church by Bishop Callahan
Now Callahan has assigned disgraced Msgr Burrill (AKA Msgr Grinder) to a parish
Message is loud & clear
You're expelled if you defend the faith & welcomed if you engage in sodomy
