President Trump promises a thorough investigation into a satanic attack on a Kansas Catholic Church, highlighting growing concerns about religious liberty and alleged targeting of Catholic communities by federal agencies. CatholicVote has accused government agencies of being weaponized against political opponents, specifically Catholic communities. CatholicVote has repeatedly attempted to obtain information from the FBI and DOJ but has been met with “stonewalling or silence.” In April 2023, CatholicVote joined Judicial Watch to file a lawsuit against the FBI and DOJ for records related to alleged targeting of Catholics.
Trump Promises Investigation Into Attack on Kansas Catholic Church
President Donald Trump has pledged to conduct a thorough investigation into what has been described as a “satanic attack” on a Catholic Church in Kansas. The incident, which has raised serious concerns about religious liberty and the protection of faith communities, has become a focal point in discussions about the relationship between government entities and religious institutions. Trump’s involvement signals growing attention to what some conservative groups describe as targeted harassment of religious communities, particularly Catholic ones.
The attack comes amid increased tensions between Catholic advocacy groups and federal agencies. CatholicVote, a prominent faith-based advocacy organization, has been vocal about their concerns regarding what they perceive as government overreach and potential targeting of Catholic communities. The group has suggested that current federal agencies may be exploiting their power against religious communities for political reasons, raising serious questions about institutional integrity and constitutional protections for religious freedom.

Government Accountability and Religious Liberty Concerns
CatholicVote has taken significant steps to address their concerns about potential government bias against Catholic communities. According to reports, the organization has repeatedly appealed to President Biden’s administration to address these issues. Despite being the nation’s second Catholic president, Biden’s administration has been criticized by the group for allegedly allowing government agencies to target political opponents, including Catholic organizations and individuals.
The efforts to obtain information and transparency have been consistently blocked, according to CatholicVote representatives. Their attempts to gain insight through official channels have met significant resistance. The organization reports sending multiple letters to both the FBI and Department of Justice, in addition to filing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, seeking clarification on alleged targeting of Catholics. These formal requests have reportedly gone unanswered or been actively stonewalled.

Legal Action and the Push for Transparency
After months of unsuccessful attempts to obtain information through standard government channels, Catholic Vote has taken more decisive action. In April 2023, the organization joined forces with Judicial Watch, a nonprofit government watchdog group, to file a lawsuit against both the FBI and Department of Justice. The lawsuit specifically seeks records related to the alleged targeting of Catholics by federal agencies. This legal move represents an escalation in the ongoing tension between Catholic advocacy groups and government entities.
“Repeated letters to the FBI and DOJ, as well as Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the federal agencies, were met with stonewalling or silence.”
The partnership with Judicial Watch adds significant weight to CatholicVote’s efforts. Judicial Watch, which receives tax-deductible contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations, has established itself as a persistent advocate for government transparency and accountability. The organization’s involvement suggests a broader concern about potential religious liberty violations that extends beyond just Catholic communities. Trump’s promise to investigate the Kansas incident further intensifies national attention on these issues.
