If you attend a Traditional Catholic Church, there is now evidence suggesting your priest or fellow parishioners could be FBI “tripwires” secretly informing on you to the Bureau/DoJ.
How crazy is that? This is probably the biggest attack on freedom of religion in modern history.
According to this ridiculous logic, every Catholic who ever lived before 1965 is a terrorist.
The document notes the SPLC has identified nine “RTC hate groups” operating in the U.S. as of 2021.
“We got briefings that SPLC was not legitimate when I was at Quantico,” Seraphin told the Daily Signal.
Seraphin told the outlet a “a real intelligence product would quote [SPLC] and say, ‘unsubstantiated.’” He added that if a document were to cite Salon, as the leaked document does, it would need to cite a separate “source on the other side.”
George Hill, a former supervisory intelligence analyst for the bureau, told the Daily Signal the report is “poorly sourced from sources who use unsubstantiated data to draw their own conclusions and not in compliance with FBI publication guidelines.”
“They would have had to either change the guidelines since I left that you can now use the SPLC or the author and their supervisor who approved the final document knowingly violated the Directorate of Intelligence guidelines,” Hill added, explaining that the directorate previously excluded the SPLC from reports because “there was no analytical rigor or basis for the majority of their assertions that they would write about on their website.”
The FBI is targeting #Catholics who stick with tradition. It’s quite disturbing to see when we live in a country where you are supposed to have religious freedom. Talk about end of days crap.#CatholicTwitter https://t.co/jtETo89BQ2

If I am reading this FBI intelligence document right, the feds appear to be actively nudging white nationalists into Catholic groups as a deradicalization (“mitigation”) strategy, then cultivating sources and informants in these Catholic groups to spy on them.
If my interpretation of this parlance is accurate, then my long held suspicion that the government is using traditionalist Catholicism to lure young radicals away from secular nationalist groups appears to be confirmed.
