LEAKED MEMO: FBI Targets Traditional Catholics, FBI Whistleblower

8

If you attend Latin mass, you’re an extremist.

Former FBI special agent and federal whistleblower Kyle Seraphin reportedly obtained a leaked FBI document that outlines a plan to spy on a segment of one of America’s biggest religious denominations.

“The FBI’s Richmond Division would like to protect Virginians from the threat of ‘white supremacy,’ which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass,” Seraphin reported for Uncover DC. “An intelligence analyst within the Richmond Field Office of the FBI released in a new finished intelligence product dated January 23, 2023, on Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in ‘Radical-Traditionalist Catholics’ or RTCs.”

He added that the document “assesses with ‘high confidence’ the FBI can mitigate the threat of Radical-Traditionalist Catholics by recruiting sources within the Catholic Church.”

Forget jihad, Catholics who attend Latin mass are the real threat.

FBI Warns Against ‘Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology’ in Leaked Memo

By Cristina Laila, The Gateway Pundit, February 8, 2023:

The FBI warned against ‘radical traditionalist Catholic ideology’ in a memo posted to UncoverDC.com by former FBI special agent Kyle Seraphin.

Seraphin last year was suspended indefinitely without pay after working for at the FBI’s Richmond office for six years.

The FBI believes ‘white supremacy’ found in the home of Catholics who prefer Latin Mass, according to an internal memo:

The FBI’s Richmond Division would like to protect Virginians from the threat of “white supremacy,” which it believes has found a home within Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass. An intelligence analyst within the Richmond Field Office of the FBI released in a new finished intelligence product dated January 23, 2023, on Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) and their interests in “Radical-Traditionalist Catholics” or RTCs. The document assesses with “high confidence” the FBI can mitigate the threat of Radical-Traditionalist Catholics by recruiting sources within the Catholic Church.

The acronym, new to many in the Domestic Counterterrorism field, comes with a footnote by the writer explaining RTCs are “typically characterized by the rejection of the Second Vatican Council.” The writer makes an unsubstantiated leap that a preference for the Catholic Mass in Latin instead of the vernacular and a number of more traditional views on other world religions can amount to an “adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology.” This writer draws the important distinction between “traditional Catholics,” who simply prefer the Traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican II teachings, and RTCs, who espouse “more extremist ideological beliefs and violent rhetoric.”

A discerning reader may wonder why the writer believes such divisions exist and if there is evidence of the extremist and violent rhetoric within the Catholic church. The analyst’s note doesn’t provide specifics. When the FBI generates an intelligence product, it is important to note the analyzed sources. Typically, strict source vetting removes partisanship and bias, so a product is both consistent with federal law and can add value to the FBI’s overall mission. Of note, this document was reviewed and approved for release by the FBI Richmond Chief Division Counsel, who is the office’s top lawyer.

[…]

The piece concludes with the incredible leap that RMVEs or white supremacists pose a threat to use “RTC social media sites” (no examples) or “places of worship as facilitation platforms to promote violence.” This intelligence product is indicative of a permissive tolerance within the FBI for Left-leaning ideological actors who use academic-sounding rhetoric to cover a dearth of personal experience. The weaponization of the FBI against conservative Americans can be seen in the way documents like this are published and distributed. Poorly sourced and highly speculative intelligence products lead to opening badly articulated predicate investigations into Americans in violation of their God-given, First Amendment-protected civil liberties.

They are going after anyone who does not adhere to the progressive commie demo agenda or is a supporter of Trump.

All this proves that the manufactured outrage over alleged child sex abuse by Catholic priests was never about “justice” for the victims but rather taking down the Church and eviscerating their moral authority and their serving as a bulwark against the advancement of the radical libertine agenda of moral degeneracy and sexual perversion. Contrast that against the recent revelations of child sex abuse in Chicago public schools where the media reaction was pretty much crickets chirping.

It keys in, also, to why Pope Benedict was made to retire and Pope Francis installed.

The same crap is happening up here in Canuckistan where Justie Hitler is behaving like a fascist DICKtator and trying to convert the nation to a commie satellite of Red China. The lying puke needs to be impeached, tried for treason, and shot by firing squad. Law enforcement are becoming Gestapo/KGB/Stasi etc troops enforcing his criminal and anti freedom will.
