FBI Whistleblower: Memo on Latin Mass Catholics is ‘Open Door’ to Declare All Christians ‘Criminals’

FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin pointed out that the leaked bombshell memo was written from a point of view 'antithetical' not only to Catholicism, but to all conservative Christian denominations.

(LifeSiteNews) — FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin has warned that the recently leaked bombshell FBI memo identifying “Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology” as a magnet for “violent extremists” is an “open door” to target all Christians in the U.S. as criminals.

The 8-page memo, written by an FBI analyst in Richmond, Virginia, asserts that “increasingly observed interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVE) in Radical Traditionalist Catholic (RTC) Ideology almost certainly presents new opportunities for threat mitigation” via “tripwire and source development.”

The document identifies “Radical Traditional Catholics” as typically rejecting Vatican II as a “valid council,” and often holding “anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, and white supremacist ideology.” It further claims that RMVEs have “sought out” traditional Catholic worship, and use RTC ideology language on social media.

Seraphin weighed in on the disturbing implications of the memo, which he published on Wednesday, on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

“I think it’s appalling,” said Seraphin. “It doesn’t seem reasonable, but it is the state of the FBI at this point that they are so desperate to find white supremacists that they’re going to look at the Catholic Church.”

Seraphin and Carlson agreed that, in maligning a particular set of religious beliefs, the memo was at odds with the Constitution. “The Bill of Rights prohibits the government from weighing in on sectarian or religious questions. They don’t get to decide whether your religion is good or bad. They have to be agnostic on it,” Carlson pointed out.

Seraphin said he believes the document and ideas behind it ultimately pose a threat not only to traditional Catholics, but to all Christians in the country.

I always said - whatever they will do to Muslims, they will do times ten to Christians.

Isn’t the USSC mostly made up of Catholics? I think they’ll have a thing or two to say about this when the lawsuits start to fly.

Ping.

I will continue to pray for good Catholics like yourself that you will triumph against the enemy.

Deus Vult!

“I always said - whatever they will do to Muslims, they will do times ten to Christians.”

And they will do it to Christians before they do it to any other faith.

Then I hope I have the strength to become a criminal if it comes down to that.

Dollars to Donuts Bergoglio is 100% on board with this line of reasoning on the part of the Eff Bee Eye.

This traces back to Jon Podesta’s Catholic Spring.

Will Biden propose a ban on “assault” rosaries or books in Latin? Imagine if Muslims were singled out like this?

Is there any question whether Christians are considered enemies of the State.

You can get a Combat Rosary here -

Combat Rosaries

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be thou our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, o Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God thrust into hell satan, and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

“Will Biden propose a ban on “assault” rosaries or books in Latin”?

He’ll speak to Pelosi before he decides. After all, they are both self-proclaimed “devout Catholics”.

Dear FBI, based on this there is zero chance you do not know who I am. Please send contact info and I’ll let you know if I see anything weird.
