What's also concerning are the reports of “#radical #traditionalist” Catholic groups finding common cause with openly #fascist movements—a reality that is downplayed in the right-wing reaction to the memo.
As I’ve reported for the Texas Observer, openly fascist groups such as #Groypers, #ProudBoys, #PatriotFront, the #AmericanNationalistInitiative, and the #AryanFreedomNetwork
— have protested outside LGTBQ+ events alongside two hardline Catholic groups:
the #NewColumbiaMovement ( #NCM ) founded by a member of the Mussolini-loving “American Black Shirts”,
and the #FamilyTraditionAndProperty ( #FTP ) group, originally founded by a Brazilian antisemite who wrote about the “Jewish problem.”
