In a heated exchange with Gestapo chief Merrick Garland at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) directly challenged Garland’s viciously corrupt and politicized “Justice” Department, and zeroed in on the once-respected agency’s targeting of traditionalist Roman Catholics. While Garland maintained, in the teeth of the available evidence, that the department is not actually targeting Catholics, he claimed not to know how many spies and informants the feds have in those hotbeds of terrorism, traditional Catholic parishes.
In other words, he didn’t say they didn’t have any such spies and informants. So if you’re Catholic, be watchful: the guy in the pew behind you could be taking notes.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) takes AG Merrick Garland to task on targeting Catholics

Hawley began by asking Garland: “The FBI field office in Richmond, on the 23rd of January of this year, issued a memorandum in which they advocated for, and I quote, ‘the exploration of new avenues for trip-wire and source development against Traditionalist Catholics’ — it’s their, their language — ‘including those who favor the Latin Mass.’ Attorney General, are you cultivating sources and spies in Latin Mass parishes and other Catholic parishes around the country?”
Garland appeared to be rattled, but his response was unequivocal: he was on Hawley’s side, doncha know. “No,” said the ferociously partisan attorney general, “the Justice Department does not do that and does not, uh, um, do investigations based on religion.

Only happening in the Catholic Church? How about Protestant and Evangelical Churches? They are probably more numerous.
I don’t know, and I don’t believe we have any informants aimed at Catholic churches. We have a rule against, uh, investigations based on First Amendment, um, activity, and uh, uh, uh, Catholic churches are obviously, uh, First Amendment activity. But I don’t know the specific answer to your question.
Bass turd Feddies. Religious freedom is why America exists. The Godless maggots have caught up with us.
There, fixed it for ya. I doubt the Dims are spying on the Anglicans and United Methodists and other "mainline" Protestant churches that are leading according to the Gospel of Democrats.
The best place for the Justice Department to look for Spies is the Justice Department it’s shanked.
Garland is lying, he was rattled because he got caught in the lie.
U.S. Justice Department Probably Has Spies in Catholic Churches
Just exactly how much of this are we going to put up with?!
new age catholics are more than willing to snitch on their co believers.
it is an institution of man, afterall.
time for me to be a Roamin’ Catholic.
Yes, exactly. If they’re spying on the Catholics they’re spying on all Christians, except maybe the ones that have gone gay.
“But his answer on Wednesday about spies in churches was revealing enough in itself.”
His answer was also weasel-worded enough to cover whatever they are doing. His answer: “I don’t know, and I don’t believe we have any informants aimed at Catholic churches.”
So the FBI could have thousands of informants “in Catholic churhes,” as long as they are “aimed at” parishioners and not the Church itself.
If the presiding bishop says a particular parishioner is not toeing the current mandated church policy line, it’s open season for the FBI? Or does the FBI decide what is current church policy?
If you like living this way, thank a Democrat.
Jesus said we would be hated because they hate Him.
Stay true to The Word. Keep Christ first.
The events of Revelation had to come about somehow. This is the beginning, perhaps.
:)
I wonder if they have spies in mosques.
What a joke. SMH.
Those dang husbands, chapel-veil wearing women and their children all praying in Latin are clearly domestic terrorists.
Madness.
The justice Department must be spreading their investigators very thin by having to spy on School Board protesters and Catholic Traditionalists. Maybe any one saying the Rosary in a Catholic Church is photographed and soon a wanted poster will be released in all Post Offices across the Country.
"He's got a Rosery, shoot him!" *pew* *pew pew*
I must have missed something. Is this about protecting sodomites from God’s word in the Bible? I truly do not know what is going on here!
Don’t give this twisted agency any ideas.
