Biden FBI spied on pro-life Catholics, calling them "violent extremists"

Joe Biden: Cafeteria Catholic and Fake President

Man, oh man, the Biden-era FBI really went all-in on playing Big Brother with Catholics, and the House Judiciary Committee just dropped a bombshell report on July 22 that lays it all out. We're talking way more federal law enforcement muscle thrown at surveilling Catholics than anyone thought, and the FBI didn't exactly come clean to Congress about it. Shocker, right?

The report, titled "Report: How the Biden-Wray FBI Manufactured a False Narrative of Catholic Americans as Violent Extremists," rips the lid off documents that flat-out contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray's fantasy claim that the 2023 Richard memo was just a one-off oopsie. You remember that memo from the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, the one that slapped the label "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists" on "radical traditionalist Catholics." 

Yeah, that one. Apparently, it wasn't some rogue agent's bad day at the office.

According to a July 22 press release from the committee, new FBI Director Kash Patel handed over a whopping 1,300 pages of internal docs that spell out how the Biden administration's FBI went full Stasi on Catholics. We're talking surveillance operations that would make your skin crawl. 

Here is where it gets really gross: back in 2023, the Richmond office zeroed in on a Catholic priest from the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a group Rome calls "irregular canonical," just because he wouldn't snitch on a parishioner the feds were sniffing around. 

So, what did the FBI do? They opened an "investigative assessment" on him. They teamed up with the Louisville Field Office and even the London Office to track his every move, where he was, where he was going, even his credit card receipts.

They even tried to weasel around priest-penitent privilege, claiming it didn't count because the parishioner hadn't been baptized or finished catechism. The committee's press release called that excuse "faulty," and I'm being polite when I say that’s putting it mildly.

It gets worse. 

The FBI analysts who cooked up that Richard memo leaned on straight-up anti-Catholic garbage for their alleged "research." We're talking sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly a beacon of objectivity nor has anything to do with poverty. 

The FBI confessed to using eight open-source articles, with charming titles like "Catholics are leaders and even founders of the most dangerous neo-Nazi groups in existence," "White Nationalists Get Religion: On the Far-Right Fringe, Catholics and Racists Forge a Movement," and "Traditional Catholics and White Nationalist 'Gropers' Forge a New Far-Right Youth Movement."

Not very subtle. The committee's investigators weren't having it, pointing out these sources scream bias against Catholics who actually take their faith seriously.

And of course, there’s more. 

A separate FBI memo was already floating around, warning that the SSPX was out to "recruit and radicalize white supremacists." Plus, the term “radical traditionalist Catholic” pops up in FBI docs from 2009 all the way to 2023. This wasn't a one-time thing, it’s a pattern.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R-IA), already spilled some tea back in June, saying the Richard memo hit at least four field offices and reached over 1,000 FBI personnel. He also flagged 13 other documents and five attachments dripping with anti-Catholic rhetoric. 

The committee is still digging, and they're not letting up. With Patel promising to keep the books open, they're vowing to keep pushing for "legislative reforms to protect American’s religious liberties from government overreach." Good luck finding a bigger red flag than the Biden FBI treating Catholics like they're the next al-Qaeda.

And all along, Biden pretended to be a Catholic.
