Catholic churchgoers in America were spied upon by undercover government agents, leaked documentation has revealed.
At least one undercover operative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was commissioned to secretly gather evidence which might link Catholics to “the far right nationalist movement”, a US government committee has heard.
The FBI focused in particular on Catholics who were interested in the Traditional Latin Mass as the group within the Church allegedly the most likely to be sympathetic to violent extremist activities.
