The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

It was already confirmed that, as suspected, the FBI has slandered and targeted Catholics as “white supremacist extremists," but we now know that this insidious campaign was even more widespread than initially thought. In addition to attacking a religious group for having beliefs that don’t align with regime orthodoxy, the FBI’s director lied about the extent of this effort. It seems that anyone can be labeled a “white supremacist terrorist” for any unpopular belief.

ZeroHedge

Pro-establishment narrative

Violent extremism is on the rise from the right wing, and some far-right factions of Catholics are part of a coalition that seeks to undermine democracy. Religious extremism and terror aren’t a novel threat, and rhetoric coming from “traditional Catholics” sounds quite similar to far-right radicals who have attacked abortion centers and even stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Not all Catholics are extremists, but we shouldn't turn a blind eye to those that are.
