Religious persecution in a first-world country: When devout Catholics are labeled "potential domestic terrorists."
American Thinker ^ | 08/17/2023 | Greg Maresca

Posted on 08/17/2023 7:48:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In February, an FBI whistleblower from their Richmond, Virginia field office leaked a report about spying on "radical-traditionalist Catholics," labeling them as "potential domestic terrorists."

FBI director Christopher Wray claimed the report was "a single product by a single field office."

Hearings conducted by chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan revealed evidence that Wray had perjured himself, as FBI field offices in Los Angeles and Portland and perhaps others were also monitoring Catholics.

Perhaps this is why the FBI is too busy to investigate the Richmond riots orchestrated by Antifa in 2020 or those BLM-led riots and their $90 million in donations that vaporized into luxury real estate for their leaders.

Provided Wray had been a leader, he would have cleaned house.

Rather, Wray is complicit.

State persecution against the Church dates back to Roman times and remains the oldest of American bigotries. America is Rome 2.0 with Tiberius as president, Caligula running academia, and Nero tormenting Catholics, with catacomb housing a future consideration. Historian John Higham described anti-Catholicism as "the most luxuriant, tenacious tradition of paranoiac agitation in American history."

Recall when Sen. Dianne Feinstein commented at Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing how "the dogma lives loudly in you," meaning Barrett's steadfast Catholicism. Last September, the FBI conducted a pre-dawn raid on Catholic pro-life advocate Mark Houck, his wife, and their seven children. Just this month, and with more than 1,500 children needing foster and adoptive parents, Massachusetts is rejecting adoptive parents. The offenders: Catholics who don't believe in leftist gender engineering.

“Commies are idiot who aren’t completely convinced that there is no God.”

True dat!

Romans 1:18 - 1:23

“God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

RE: Most cities have become that.

How many percent of the problem comes as a result of our IMPORTING the third world into our country via our lax immigration system?

Ironically, many of the government officials at war with Catholics are the same government officials, when asked their religion, state that they are Catholic.

It's been centuries since the Catholics' main problem was Protestants, or Protestants' main problem was Catholics. We're in a situation where Christians are attacked by either avowed hedonists or Christians-In-Name-Only.

the same government officials, when asked their religion, state that they are Catholic.

Increasingly, that sort of government official, when asked his or her sex, will lie about that as well.

Just ask Admiral Dick Levine ...

The left wants to eliminate Christianity. The amoeba in the White House has told the fbi to persecute Christians.

My wife’s sister and her husband are rabid catholics. And they vote straight-line Democrat every election. Looks like they brought this on themselves.

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. (John 15:18-21)

As Lizzo would say...truth hurts. There is no holding an intelligent conversation with them because their religion is right and every other religion is wrong. They are intolerant of any other views when it comes to religion and politics. The are rabid catholics and also rabid Democrats. When I first met them I asked how they could reconcile catholic dogma on abortion vs the Democrat's position. I was never able to get a straight coherent answer and after that my wife forbade any further discussion concerning religion and politics.
