I am not convinced that the FBI was infiltrating to spy on the churches. I think that they were probably trying to get a few participants in an operation that was planned by the FBI as a black flag op to demonize the churches as radical organizations. Probably something similar to the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot.

I don’t recall the fake pope condemning the fbi. Because he’s on the same side as the people who hate the Latin mass.

The Catholic church has already been infiltrated by 2 agents of all things evil—Biden and Pelosi.

Next up. The FBI will begin feeding the Christians to the lions in the stadiums.

Conservative Methodist Churches are organizing to leave the UMC. It would be naive to believe the FBI was not infiltrating that group as well.

Sounds like believing Jesus Christ is Lord, that babies should not be sacrificed, that marriage is between a man and a woman, and that calling the depravity embraced, promoted and stuffed down our children’s throats by politicians, Hollywood, the media,school systems etc., sinful is radical.

For our Resurrection Sunday service last week, the choir at my Methodist church performed Antonio Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” (c. 1715) a choral composition from the Latin Mass. We will now have to be on the lookout for infiltrators from the FBI.

“Do they think that if you’re an orthodox, believing and practicing Catholic, somehow that’s anti-American?”

Yes, at least sort of. They don’t care about anything being “anti-American,” they only care about beating their enemies. If calling something “anti-American” helps them, then they will apply that label.

This is a huge violation of the 1st amendment clause on separation of church and state. FAR MORE so than some high school coach praying after a football game.

Just imagine an FBI agent taking the oath of office. Did he smirk and wink like Peter Strokit?

a black flag op to demonize the churches

That is entirely too plausible.

I suspect both but the black flag operation would be the prime.

“The FBI recognizes the importance of congressional oversight,” the spokesman said, “and remains fully committed to cooperating with Congress’s oversight requests consistent with its constitutional and statutory responsibilities.”


from the article.

I don’t really see the Catholic churches being radical, I do see them as being overtly benevolent. There’s obviously no profit or gain from benevolency by the people that they are extending charity towards.

I don’t agree with some of the benevolency as it comes with a cost, a human cost that supports criminal elements illegally migrating into this country, nor do I understand why they would condone a mass movement of humans with with the associated diseases they’re bringing, and the camouflage provided for nefarious activities such as drug smuggling in human trafficking.

Why would the Catholic church support that?

I know that a lot of Mexico and Central America was Catholic at one time, I just don’t see that presently being the case.

Are these indigents flocking to Catholic churches after they get here? Are they looking for support from Catholic missions and helping out Catholic causes?

I don’t see that either. It might have been the case in the 50s but we are far removed from the supposed innocence of that period. It’s even beyond La Raza, this is a criminal invasion that is looking for greener pastures because those criminals have wrung out everything south of the border.

Perhaps the government position is that the Catholic element of the incoming indigents could be huge, that it could be a groundswell of Catholicism? Perhaps that’s what the government is fearing, a groundswell of newly arrived Catholics. Or, the government is looking for tax fraud.

FBI will never, ever get defunded.

It would be like the Soviet Union defunding the KGB

But at least we are not yet at the point where the FBI/KGB can not be criticized.
