FBI admits to spying on Catholics, calls them ‘extremists’ – The Militant

[....] the FBI has a decadeslong record of just such unconstitutional attacks on freedom of speech, worship, assembly and more.

Its most recent assault dovetails with the partisan drive by Democrats and the middle-class left to paint Republicans, especially those who are Catholics, as dangerous, racists and  opponents of women’s rights. Some 70 million people in the U.S., over 20% of the population, are Catholics.

Ex-agent Kyle Seraphin posted a heavily redacted internal memo from the FBI’s Richmond office dated Jan. 23, revealing plans to spy on and target for “mediation” those Catholic groups that worship with the traditional Latin Mass and have “more extremist ideological beliefs.” The memo refers to these groups as RTCs, FBI-speak for “radical traditionalist Catholics.”
