Catholic Church Prepares for Attacks From Abortion-Rights Activists
By Jake Thomas On 6/23/22 at 10:29 PM EDT

The Catholic Church is heeding federal law enforcement's warning that a radical group is "calling for extreme violence" against churches nationwide in response to the Supreme Court's expected reversal of abortion rights.

An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned "Night of Rage," targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights. The document sheds light on how law enforcement and the church are bracing for backlash after a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court preparing to rescind federal abortion rights.

Labeled an "urgent memo," the document is from the Diocese of Stockton, California, and is directed to all clergy, as well as parish and pastoral staff. The memo states that Jesse Rangel, a DHS agent, told the diocese that federal law enforcement has discovered a manifesto from an "extremist group" calling for attacks on churches beginning at 8 p.m. the evening the court issues its opinion.

The memo does not describe the specific threats facing churches, but states that Rangel told the diocese that "large groups with cells nationwide have already been discovered 'casing' parishes, including here in California." The diocese's leadership has issued a "critical notice" for clergy, parishes and pastoral center staff to "develop a plan should you see or hear anything suspicious."

Between the decade or two of anti-Catholic and anti-Evangelical church violence plus the several weeks' warning that the Dobbs decision was coming, I would hope Catholic parishes (and Pro-Life orgs and Evangelical churches as well, obviously) have done preparation for the predictable storm of violence that is about to break (I hope I'm wrong about that, but, sadly, I doubt that I will). And more preparation than just passive security cameras.

Why would they attack Catholic churches, seems to me that pope socialista faggato is down with abortion, at least he certainly supports Pelosi and Biden.

These people are emboldened. If they do shoot up a church, the media will blame guns and the NRA.

There is that. There are just many, many millions more deranged people on the left than there are on the right. Most white feminists are totally deranged and have basically only one issue....abortion on demand.
