FBI Turns Its Harassment and Surveillance Efforts Against a New Internal Enemy: Conservative Catholics

Pretty much anyone opposed to transgender "therapy" for children or CRT in schools is officially a terrorist, according to the FBI.



The FBI's Richmond field office released an internal memo last month warning against "radical traditionalist Catholic ideology," and claiming it "almost certainly presents new mitigation opportunities," according to a document shared by an FBI whistleblower on Wednesday.

Kyle Seraphin, who was a special agent at the bureau for six years before he was indefinitely suspended without pay in June 2022, published the document, "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities," on UncoverDC.com.

"In making this assessment, FBI Richmond relied on the key assumption that [racially or ethnically motivated extremists] will continue to find [radical-traditionalist Catholic or RTC] ideology attractive and will continue to attempt to connect with RTC adherents, both virtually via social media and in-person at places of worship," the document from January 23 states.

It adds that "RTCs are typically categorized by the rejection of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) as a valid church council; disdain for most of the popes elected since Vatican II, particularly Pope Francis and Pope John Paul II; and frequent adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and white supremacist ideology. Radical-traditionalist Catholics compose a small minority of overall Roman Catholic adherents and are separate and distinct from 'traditionalist Catholics' who prefer the Traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican II teachings and traditions, without the more extremist ideological beliefs and violent rhetoric."

Put out a warrant for Mel Gibson -- he's from a family that rejects Vatican II.


National Review has reached out to the FBI National Press Office and the FBI field office in Richmond for comment.

The report relied upon information from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a legal-advocacy organization that has come under fire for including conservative nonprofits like the Alliance Defending Freedom and the American College of Pediatricians on its list of "hate groups" alongside groups like the Ku Klux Klan and the Nation of Islam.

The document notes the SPLC has identified nine "RTC hate groups" operating in the U.S. as of 2021.

"We got briefings that SPLC was not legitimate when I was at Quantico," Seraphin told the Daily Signal.

Well things have changed, haven't they?

A former FBI agent broke down in tears at today's congressional hearings on the weaponization of the FBI, saying that yes, the FBI is now a political weapon of hte left.

Video at the link.

Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker broke down in tears Thursday while testifying during a congressional hearing.

Parker said during the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government's inaugural hearing that she left her job at a hedge fund after 9/11 to serve her country, working as an FBI Special Agent from 2011-2022.

"I considered it a very sacred responsibility and was honored to be trusted to protect and serve the American people," Parker said, recounting how she joined a Miami field office....

"It was emotionally jarring, but I believed I was making an impactful difference. And every day I woke up and embraced being a Special FBI agent until things changed. Over the course of my 12+ years, the FBI's trajectory has transformed. On paper, the bureau's mission has remained the same but its priorities and governing principles shifted dramatically. The FBI became politically weaponized from the top in Washington and trickling down to the field offices."

Parker said it seems as though there are two separate FBI's, one of which is tainted with political bias and has destroyed the credibility of the agency. Parker added that there has been a "lowering of the eligibility requirements" for new recruits, which has negatively impacted the agency.

You don't say?

The Deep State's determination to hire every "Gender Nonconforming" #Woke identity-politics-obsessive to hunt down Conservative Wrongthinkers is now working exactly as planned.

As I said in the previous thread, this is what my model would predict.

CRT is Marx-stream, the new Sexual ideology is Marx-stream. Marx-stream ideas are used to tear down a system, because the Marxian perspective say only a complete tear-down (and hopefully rebuild) can affect the system.

The World Managers want this illusion of self-government torn down so they can rebuild. And as somebody always captures a Marxist revolution before it wins, they want to be the captors and ride the wave.

"Marxism" is sop for the masses. (Huh, funny that Marx put religion in that role.)

104 How TF does *any* of this (leaving aside how bogus and ridiculous it is) relate to *any* FBI responsibility or authority? No "ideology" is any business (or competence, obviously) of the FBI, by definition - that would be the bailiwick of political police of the sort that do not exist in our system.

Only criminal activity is any business of the FBI. Oh - and counter-intelligence, which clearly has been a disaster and should never be entrusted to an outfit with such low personnel standards and ethics.

Which crimes have any of these groups been associated with? Which of them specifically advocate criminal actions?

How is this not almost the entirety of the discussion here?

Admittedly, you can drive to Nut City pretty quickly among conservative Catholics but 99% aren't sedevacantists, Feenyites or other highly-marginal factions. Almost all the people you see at a TLM want a reverent Mass and clear doctrine, not the hootenanny of the Novus Ordo Mass ("Starring Father Steve with special guest Jesus Christ") and the mush now prevalent among even the Curia.

Well Catholics have a very well-defined belief system on a very wide range of issues coming from a long period of time in the Catechism.

Abortion simply wasn't really thought much about for Protestants until the 20th century while it was already in the Catholic rulebook. So Protestants needed to first argue about what their position should be (and this usually results in further splintering).

Simple wood. But it is missing a bead from one of the decades. It had broken at some point and he must have lost the bead, but rather than replacing it, he had just tied it back together. I like it for that.

Given they're fighting entirely with internal lines of communication, they're idiots if they haven't gone as much to hardlines as possible. Not always possible where tactically fluid, right at the front, but all other comms should not be in the air. There was a huge telephone cable item in one of the aid packages, presumably for this.

But I wonder if the people on the twatters with their Uke flag emojis will melt down (again). Or the stupid NY Post with the idiotic flag on the front page.

Drive past the K-8 level Catholic schools in my area (SE Pennsylvania) during recesses and see the majority of children in the play yards are often Black & Brown. This does not go over well at all with the progressive community.

Since it's totally opposed to school choice, it must then spend a great deal of time belittling the Catholic church and also litigating against it to take its property by eminent domain.

Also note that U.S. Rep. Scott Perry brought anti-abortion activist Mark Houck to the State of the Union address & introduced him well before the start of the official address.

The Pope can take a leadership role and that can be advantageous, but often they don't.

At least in the case of abortion, the rule has been in catechisms at least since the Didache. Sola Scriptura disregards extrabiblical texts or traditions so Protestants need to exegete and debate as oppose to referencing an established set of positions.

233 The FBI may back off on this for now, but make no mistake they'll be coming again. The federal government has been very hostile towards any group - religious or not - that does not toe the line regarding LGBTQ+ ideology. Granted there are many Catholics who do embrace that (and I know of several personally), any faith that only embraces that only a man and a woman can be married had better prepare.

The Catholic position is inherently flexible. Because of doctrines of infallibility, if a rule is ever declared dogmatic, Catholics cannot reverse their positions.

Not all doctrines or rules were clarified in the beginning so there is some history of development. It's a very old tradition so nearly all possible questions and issues have already arisen at some point though. Protestantism arose in an environment that was already Christian so didn't face many questions of sexual ethics and abortion until more recent times.

That would be more Constantinople II. The Vatican was usually less into the tiresome aspects of doctrinal rigor that the big city got into. A few times the Pope was hauled off to the city and imprisoned to sign up for whatever program was in vogue.

366 "What's the beef with John Paul II? I thought everybody loved him."

Rad-trads don't, because he didn't repudiate Vatican II. Check out traditioninaction.org to see examples of their criticisms of every pope since Pius XII (and they're not real happy about how Pius got Archbiship Bugnini started on his career of tinkering with the liturgy).

Posted by: Seamus at February 10, 2023 10:04 AM (6OFS+)

367 "disdain for most of the popes elected since Vatican II, particularly Pope Francis and Pope John Paul II"

I think the biggest disdain is for Pope Francis and Pope Paul VI. JP2 at least tried to dial back *some* of the harm done under PVI. JP2's appointments to American bishoprics were a mixed bag, but PVI's (largely on the advice of his apostolic delegate, Jean Jadot) were mostly a disaster. Think Hunthausen in Seattle, Sullivan in Richmond, Clark in Rochester.

368 "Admittedly, you can drive to Nut City pretty quickly among conservative Catholics but 99% aren't sedevacantists, Feenyites or other highly-marginal factions. Almost all the people you see at a TLM want a reverent Mass and clear doctrine, not the hootenanny of the Novus Ordo Mass ('Starring Father Steve with special guest Jesus Christ') and the mush now prevalent among even the Curia. "

To be fair, the FBI memo tried to draw a distinction between ordinary traddies (the ones who attend the TLM and just "want a reverent Mass and clear doctrine") and the rad-trads (what the memo calls RTC), including the Feenyites (e.g., Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary) and sedevacantists (I don't know that any on the FBIs lists is actually sedevacantist).

What's the beef with John Paul II? I thought everybody loved him?"

1) Archbishop Lefevre was "excommunicated" by JPII for disobedience in consecrating 4 SSPX Bishops not hand picked by the Vatican 2) JPII kissed the Koran at Assissi, a scandalous act by a Pope 3) JPII was just as harsh as Francis in trying to supress the Latin Mass and 4) he allowed gay men to proliferate the Novus Ordo Catholic seminaries and was lousy at handling the pedo issue in the Novus Ordo Catholic Church.

370 364: Neither Nancy Pelosi nor Joe Biden describe themselves as "Conservative Catholics"........ they describe themselves as DEVOUT Catholics........ something that is unjudgeable by anybody but God, since we can't look into their souls and they know it.

371 "At least in the case of abortion, the rule has been in catechisms at least since the Didache. Sola Scriptura disregards extrabiblical texts or traditions so Protestants need to exegete and debate as oppose to referencing an established set of positions."

376 " also, how can you be radical and a traditionalist at the same time"

A radical (from Lat. radix, -is, meaning "root") is one who wants to change things down to the roots. A radical traditionalist is not just interested in accretions to the status quo, but undoing the status quo by cutting things back to where they were before the thing they want to reform went astray.

Posted by: Seamus at February 10, 2023 11:18 AM (6OFS+)

377 " 3) JPII was just as harsh as Francis in trying to supress the Latin Mass"

Not quite. He wasn't as good as Benedict, who issued Summorum Pontificum (which pretty much loosed all the chains on the TLM, and which was quashed by Francis in Traditiones custodes), but he did issue Quattuor abhinc annos and Ecclesia Dei, which tossed a bone to the TLM and (unlike Francis's Traditiones custodes) did not prohibit the celebration of the TLM in parish churches.
