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.

The FBI IS Uncle Screwtape!!
Interesting. And yet they recruit a ton of Mormons, who literally believe in the insane.
“almost certainly presents new mitigation opportunities,”
I’d love to hear what they mean by this.
L
The FBI needs to get a tornado powered housekeeping effort from congress. Cut them off today.
God complex on full display.
I’ve never seen those words used together before
“Radical Traditionalist.”
How is this different from a Traditional Radical?
A Black White?
A Wet Dryness?
An Idiot Genius?
I am not sure about the criticism of Pope John Paul II.
He, Reagan, and Thatcher made a pretty good team.
I love C.S. Lewis!
Yep!
Tyrants don’t like religious people.
Marx, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Muslims the world over.
They send their secret police to suppress or eliminate them.
Turn the other cheek?
Or survive to do good in the world.
The Allied forces of WWII didn’t always kneel in prayer and let the Axis forces win it all. They fought back.
The radical traditionalists that attend the church across the street average about 85 years of age.
But they have canes, so look out!
Our communist masters are on a roll...
They recognize that there is nothing in the future to threaten their plans for the equivalent of a 1000-year Soviet-style Fourth Reich...
The American serfs have been thoroughly transformed into the most servile and docile slaves in the history of tyrannical regimes...
Welcome to Reagan’s prophecy/warning...
The First Amendment doesn't mention the FBI, so they can do whatever they want.
Woo Hoo! Another deep-state watchlist I’m on.
“…free exercise thereof”
They definitely aren’t referring to the pope.
Big TLM enclave in Front Royal for them to attack
And then they came for the Catholics and I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t a Catholic.
