Catholic Church Prepares for Attacks From Abortion-Rights Activists
newsweek ^ | 6/23/2022 | jake thomas

Posted on 06/24/2022 6:54:27 AM PDT by bitt

The Catholic Church is heeding federal law enforcement's warning that a radical group is "calling for extreme violence" against churches nationwide in response to the Supreme Court's expected reversal of abortion rights.

An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned "Night of Rage," targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights. The document sheds light on how law enforcement and the church are bracing for backlash after a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court preparing to rescind federal abortion rights.

Labeled an "urgent memo," the document is from the Diocese of Stockton, California, and is directed to all clergy, as well as parish and pastoral staff. The memo states that Jesse Rangel, a DHS agent, told the diocese that federal law enforcement has discovered a manifesto from an "extremist group" calling for attacks on churches beginning at 8 p.m. the evening the court issues its opinion.

I feel that Newsweek is using the Streisand Effect here.

Many Christians died for their faith!
We can survive “Night of Range” for the truth too!

Well at least the Feds notified the churches. I wonder if it was followed up with “and we’ll do nothing to stop it, and arrest you if you raise a finger to defend yourselves”.

Dobbs opinion could be released today at or after 10AM ET or sometime next week. No way of knowing yet. Nine cases to be released between now and end of term. Opinions released every 10 minutes starting at 10am on opinion days, in order of reverse seniority of Justice. There can be more than one from any Justice, or none from a Justice, but they come in this order:

Amy Coney Barrett
Brett Kavanaugh
Neil Gorsuch
Elena Kagan
Sonia Sotomayor
Samuel Alito
Stephen Breyer
Clarence Thomas
John Roberts (because he is Chief Justice)

My presumption is that it will be the last announced decision of this session, because of the chaos that will ensue after it’s announced. So as not to make it difficult to complete their work before the break, they will save it until everything else is done.

If it turns out to be the last decision released, would that be next Friday?

All the pathological anger, rage and hatred because some churches want to protect unborn babies.

This is how demons act when they can’t destroy life.

There are a lot of demon possessed people out there and they’ll be making themselves known.

Please don’t come to my church. Why? Because everyone is armed.

Everyone, pray for protection for the people attending church Saturday evening and Sunday.

Two long, hot days. Guardian angels, please be with each and every person going to church.

They act just like Hitler's Brown Shirts did in 1920s and early 1930s.

Why attack churches? No amount of violence will cause the Supreme Court to change their decision.

Consume the Eucharist. For bishops to not care about the souls in their diocese during covid, who cares about a building.

Yep, Fascists to the very core of their being, and they deserve exactly the same fate the last army of Fascists experienced!
