On June 4, 2025, new documents released by Senator Chuck Grassley exposed an alleged FBI plot targeting traditional Catholics, sparking outrage.
War Room reported, “The documents revealed by Chairman Grassley expose the depth and staggering breadth of the dissemination of this field office memo targeting traditional Catholics as radical terrorists.”
Consequently, this revelation in the FBI traditional Catholic plot has sparked outrage.
The 2023 leaked memo from the FBI’s Richmond field office, which Chris Wray initially dismissed as a singular incident during a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on December 5, 2023, now reveals signs of a more extensive plan.
Now, the FBI faces scrutiny for targeting peaceful, patriotic groups. Read the full documents released by Senator Grassley.

Details of the FBI’s Alleged Plot
Documents indicate that FBI analysts based in Richmond engaged with Louisville, Portland, and Milwaukee offices while developing the memo. Liz Yore elaborated on War Room about the breadth of the operation:
“FBI analysts in Richmond reached out to agents from Louisville, Kentucky, Portland, Oregon, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while drafting this memo. They collected information not only on the Richmond Catholic Church, but also on traditional Catholic groups from the Louisville office. Alarmingly, Steve, there was a slide presentation put together by the Richmond FBI analysts titled ‘Radical Traditional Catholics: Their Core Concepts.’”
Yore goes on to say:
“The finding they made was that these core family values are akin to radical Islam ideology. So this is what your FBI thinks about the traditional Catholics. In fact, Steve, also in these documents, it shows that the Milwaukee FBI field office was notified that the FBI analysts in Richmond were preparing this intelligence note related to Catholics. And they also wanted more information. This was, this Richmond memo was distributed to more than 1,000 FBI employees nationwide. And according to Grassley, who states in his letter to director Patel that many FBI offices relied on the Richmond memo and placed these Catholic traditional groups under suspicion.”
Therefore, this targeting extended beyond Richmond. Yore added, “Not one person in the FBI raised concerns or negative feedback related to this document.” Thus, the alleged plot raises alarms about internal oversight.
Wray’s denial, claiming no investigations were based on religious expression, was met with skepticism. Read more on Catholic News Agency.

Implications of the FBI’s Actions
The exposure of the FBI’s alleged plot carries significant implications. For example, it erodes trust in federal agencies among conservatives.
Meanwhile, it highlights the need for religious freedom protections.
However, the involvement of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as an intelligence partner raises further concerns, as revealed by Liz Yore on War Room. She stated,
“But the lead is, is that this targeted operation against probably the most peace loving patriotic people in this country was generated because the FBI’s intelligence partner was the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
The SPLC, known for its work on hate groups, has faced criticism for its labeling methodologies, which could influence the FBI’s actions inappropriately.
Additionally, the deletion of documents, as demanded by Grassley, suggests a cover-up.
Therefore, it fuels debates over government overreach and surveillance. In turn, this scandal challenges the FBI’s credibility and the balance between security and liberty.
Wray’s denial under fire from Hawley adds to the urgency for accountability.
Conclusion on the FBI’s Alleged Plot
New docs expose an FBI traditional Catholic plot, unveiled by Chairman Grassley on June 4, 2025.
This revelation sparks religious freedom concerns, dividing opinions on federal authority.
Consequently, it stands as a critical moment for trust in government institutions.
