OPINION: FBI attacked Catholics and now it won’t even let us see what it did
are being maligned by the federal government, and it's time to address what is becoming a serious challenge to religious freedom. FBI Director Christopher Wray about an FBI memo from the Richmond, Va., field office targeting U.S. Catholics who are drawn to the traditional Latin Mass.
During the hearing, Wray said he was"aghast" when the memo came to his attention and immediately "ordered it withdrawn and removed from FBI systems." He also told the committee that the FBI is conducting an internal review of the memo, which will likely be complete later this summer. In response to a FOIA request submitted by the advocacy group CatholicVote, the Bureau insists that"the public is ‘not entitled’ to the records" pertaining to the Richmond field office memo. Maybe Catholic Vote’s FOIA request didn’t satisfy the requirements for releasing information – a pretty tricky matter when dealing with law enforcement agencies.
These faithful Church attendees were mostly under the radar prior to July 2021, when Pope Francis instituted sweeping restrictions on the celebration of Mass using the 1962 Roman missal, known variously as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman rite, the Tridentine Mass, and the traditional Latin Mass.
"What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful," he wrote.
