The Richmond FBI office relied on the Southern Poverty Law Center and articles from Salon and The Atlantic to justify targeting these “radicals.” (snip) Apparently, traditional Catholicism is… radical. The FBI Richmond office considers the traditionalists are a danger on par with terrorists and white supremacists.

Just because they retract the document does not mean they retract the mission. Someone let their mask slip.

Isn't it funny that, 'Oops, that's not what I meant to say.', only really means, 'Damn, I didn't want you to see that.'.

Who wrote it? Who signed it? Who circulated it?
Find me an FBI agent who goes to daily mass or carries a rosary. I’ll wait.
How does one retract flatulence?

Do to them what they have always done to the occasional celebrity/coach/commentator who slips and uses the 'n' word or something racially derogatory...
....ZERO forgiveness.
Unless they go to Confession.

Proving that FBI corruption extends beyond Washington DC and below top management levels. Long past time for Congress to dismantle the FBI.

Any word yet on when they're going to fire the people who wrote it?

Good article. It is true there is not a big difference among the different ways of being Catholic. People yell and scream a lot same as in a family. When I used to pray in front of a clinic, people differed from the depth of their hearts on how fast to say the Hail Mary. But the FBI ought not weigh in, let alone with a political analysis of which side are patriotic.

I'm not a rad-trad, but I lean traditionalist when it comes to my Catholic faith. I go to Mass in English but it's celebrated with reverence and not by Father Look At Me. We act with reverence and the focus is on God and worshipping Him.
I guess that makes me dangerous to the fed-bois.

#3,#9 no offence but flatulence is common to everyone, isn't preventable and isoften comical. The odor soon fades and is forgotten until the next time.
This malfeasance requires a better analogy.

What Is a Metaphor?
A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares one thing to another for rhetorical effect. One of the most famous examples of metaphor in the English language also happens to be a great example of this technique. In William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, the playwright writes:
“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.”
This is a textbook example of a metaphor. Shakespeare is comparing the world to a stage by saying one is the other. However, he does not mean this literally. (In other words, he doesn’t literally believe the world is a stage.) The comparison is rhetorical. By comparing the world to a stage, and the people in the world as players on it, he is inviting us to think about the similarities between the two, and by extension, the meaning of human nature and our place in the world.

What Is a Simile?
Unlike metaphors, similes create a comparison using like and as. Perhaps you’ll recognize this famous example of simile from Forrest Gump: “Life is like a box of chocolates.”
In this case, the reader is more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that’s being made versus a metaphor or analogy. (Remember, a simile is a type of metaphor.) When it comes to simile use in writing, a good rule of thumb is to approach with caution and use similes sparingly.
What Is an Analogy?
An analogy serves a similar purpose to simile and a metaphor—i.e. showing how two things are alike—but with the ultimate goal of making a point about this comparison. The point of an analogy is not merely to show, but also to explain. For this reason, when it comes to analogy vs. metaphor, an analogy is more complex. For example, consider this analogy for futility:
“What you’re doing is as useful as rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.”
Here, the speaker is comparing the task being done to the task of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. But the ultimate goal is not to compare one task to another. The ultimate goal is to communicate that the first task is useless—by comparing it to a similarly useless task, such as rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
What’s the Difference Between Metaphor, Simile, and Analogy?
While these figures of speech are used to compare different things, here are some clear rules to help you distinguish between metaphor, simile, and analogy.
A simile is saying something is like something else.
A metaphor is often poetically saying something is something else.
An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort of an explanatory point.
You can use metaphors and similes when creating an analogy.
A simile is a type of metaphor. All similes are metaphors, but not all metaphors are similes

Everytime I see "FBI HQ", I am reminded of the insulting new FBI building being foisted on us to pay for, and Biden saying we cannot cut any expenses. If you don't have any money, you can postpone that new house, or new car. Live with what you have a little longer. Besides, the FBI needs to be disbanded, and a HQ is unnecessary.

#3 may be pleased to learn that DC's 'lunatic fringe' loves to gather at-scream
at-and flatulate in front of ....the 'j elegant maribou slides' bldg. HQ
we took part in charity missions to bring food to these troubled souls,
and try to get them in out of the frigid nights and into shelter.
they weren't having it. they had to keep on screaming at the facade.
DC's first whistleblowers...they may know much more than we do....

Only saying this because they were caught. Nothing will change.
