When you ask for footage, what they’ll come back with is ‘Tell us the exact place and time where you think the subject of your investigation was?’ To which the standard reply is, ‘Well, we don’t know because we can’t see the footage.’ And the comeback then is ‘There may be identities within that footage that we need to protect. So one can make inferences regarding that, who those identities were they were looking to protect, but that probably wasn’t their grandparents or their aunts and uncles.
As this information comes to light, National Review reports that an internal memo was issued at the FBI’s Richmond field office in January. This time the cause for concern was radical traditionalist Catholic ideology, which “almost certainly presents new mitigation opportunities.” This information came from Kyle Seraphin, who had served as an agent for six years and was suspended without pay in June 2020. He published the document called “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities,” on the website UncoverDC.com. You can access it here.
Radical Traditional Catholics, or as the document calls them RTCs, are characterized as rejecting the Second Vatican Council, preferring the Latin Mass, and holding views about other religions that equate to “anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology.” But the writer of the memo also says that there is a difference between the people who hold radical views and those who simply prefer pre-Vatican II policies and the Latin Mass.
According to the piece released by Seraphin, the memo uses information from the Southern Poverty Law Center as a source. National Review points out that SPLC has included Alliance Defending Freedom and the American College of Pediatricians on its list of hate groups. Seraphin told The Daily Signal that when he was in training at Quantico, SPLC was not considered legitimate. the memo also cites articles from Salon and The Atlantic, hardly neutral publications.
Where are the Republicans in denouncing the lgbtq hostile takeover of a state Capitol bui,ding? Why haven’t they been arrested for “insurrection”?

Mitigated with extreme prejudice! Another group mainly comprised of white men that white male FBI agents can easily infiltrate in order to mitigate.

I don’t even know where to find a catacomb.
The FBI has finally found a worthy opponent; blue-haired old ladies and geriatric nuns..

Banks are a subsidiary of the government. (De facto, not de jure). When banks violate your Constitutional rights, it’s the government that’s doing it, and it is violating the law.
I don't know of any traditional Catholic group that's racist or even anti-immigrant.
Traditional Catholics do believe that homosexual acts are sinful, but can be forgiven if repented of.
That the Church is Israel, whereas the modern state of Israel is just another country without any theological significance. And that only Christ gets you to heaven, and not Judaism (or any other religion).
Is that what they mean by "anti-Semitic?" Are those views now illegal?
