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.

Yep. I am on a crap ton of watch lists.
Catholic. Knights of Columbus. Married to a Woman. Father of normal kids. Eagle Scout. Honorably discharged US Marine. Small Business. White Male. Home owner. Land owner. Hunter.
Cooker of large cuts of meat on a wood fire. Non believer of the current government. Non believer of pronouns. I fly my American flag everyday.
If that makes me the enemy, then so be it.
😉 That’s sure fire.
You mean 35 years of age.
p
You are the enemy to collectivist wokes and don’t doubt your name is on a list of persons to be ‘interned’ in the event of a ‘national crisis’ such as a war with Russia becoming more real than DC believed could happen. You need to find a bolt hole now.
Mitigation opportunities?
The FBI is one big mitigation opportunity.
Apparently, like the CCP, the FBI will tell Americans which Catholicism is approved of and which isn’t.
I assume Pope Frankie’s Communist Ideology will be the approved version.
“...frequent adherence to anti-Semitic...”
“The report relied upon information from the Southern Poverty Law Center...”
That tells you all you need to know about this bogus “report” and who’s behind it.
Deus Vult
Ahhhhh.....THAT is what the FBI is concerned about!....
Radical Traditionalist Catholics raising cane!!!!
I agree.
I pray for the direction of our faith under its current leadership. To many are following the world rather than Christ.
And we thank you.
Since we discussed this very topic just yesterday, I thought you might want to chime in and let US know how this a good thing. I told you this was coming. This is just the beginning.
Commies hate religion.
You haven't? I have. Other Catholics used to label sedevacantists and SSPXers as "rad trads". Suddenly, they don't like getting the same treatment.
