Following the leak of a document proving that the FBI's Richmond office had launched an investigation into what it calls “radical traditionalist” Catholics, the FBI has protested that it has "retracted" the document [whatever that means].
The FBI's national press office confirmed the existence of the document to CatholicNewsAgency.com (February 10), which singles out Roman Mass Catholics as a "violent extremist group."
This is not the first time the FBI has justified infiltrating religious communities by claiming to be looking for "violent extremists."
In the aftermath of 9/11 , FBI agent Craigh Monteilh even "converted to Islam" in order to film and secretly record conversations in private homes, mosques, and businesses.
The Richmond document proves that the FBI is doing the same with Catholics.
