A trio of Florida Republicans are among 20 GOP lawmakers demanding that the FBI explain why it is targeting conservative Catholics for surveillance and intelligence-gathering.

Sen. Rick Scott and Reps. Greg Steube and Bill Posey, of Sarasota and Rockledge, respectively, signed a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray expressing deep concerns about the Richmond field office’s warning about “Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology.”

snip ...The FBI analyst suggested infiltrating Catholic parishes with agents to keep an eye on the supposed RTCs, and monitoring social media accounts of Catholics who are alleged RTCs..../snip

Easy. The reason for noting the Catholics is that the other memos for protestants hasn’t been located yet.

Just substitute “Black” (or “Negro”) for “Catholic” everywhere that word appears in the FBI documents, and see how it reads.

Someone felt comfortable enough to write it and pass it along. Any group that has a lot of white males and generally leans right is going to get a lot of attention from the FBI.

“Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities”

Mitigation opportunities equate to salaries and benefits for many white male agents who could be allocated to any case involving Catholics. Part of this would be infiltration, which given the demographics would be easy to do for the vast majority of agents.

Those are O’Bama’s boys. They don’t need to answer to the GOP.

Hell, they don’t have to infiltrate the Catholic Church.

Just go to a service. The doors are always open and they might even learn some things, like God, love, sin (which their bosses commit in great quantity).
