...While the establishment of a Lefebvrist "Catholic state" is not likely to appear anytime in the near future, it appears that even the morally catatonic Clinton administration has recognized the potential threats that exist within extremist groups occupying what they see as the far right of the political spectrum. As a matter of fact, it appears that the only authoritative moral judgments the Liberal Regime can make are leveled against such people. This is why the chief law enforcement official in this country lets abortionists go free and why people like Randy Weaver and the Branch Davidians are held up as martyrs by the militia crowd.
This might also explain why groups of federal agents investigating the Oklahoma City bombing have descended upon the town of St. Mary's, Kansas in recent weeks and the campus of St. Mary's Academy and College in particular. According to a report in the May 5 edition of the Topeka Capitol-Journal, federal investigators questioned three staff members of St. Mary's Academy and College in their search for any Kansas connections to the incident, but in the end stated they saw no apparent links between the Society and the Oklahoma City federal building bombing.
A cloud of suspicion still hangs over St. Mary's, however. A Newsweek reporter acknowledged hearing three different reports that Timothy McVeigh, one of the main suspects charged in the crime, was seen in St. Mary's just days before the bombing. McVeigh reportedly visited an auto parts store and went to Mass at St. Mary's on Easter Sunday. Officials are undoubtedly researching these McVeigh sightings to see if they are legitimate leads or the Midwestern equivalent of Elvis apparitions.
In any case, the fact that Society members at St. Mary's are finding themselves having to deny any connection to paramilitary militia, neo-Nazi groups, and the most heinous act of terrorism that has yet to occur in this country is itself instructive, even if it should turn out that the only reason McVeigh stopped in St. Mary's was because he took a wrong turn on US highway 77.
After all, law enforcement authorities have access to a fair amount of evidence that at least some of the membership and including some of the leadership, of schismatic groups like the Society of St. Pius X has become aligned with some rather unsavory political movements, especially in recent years. It was in July of 1988 that Pope John Paul II declared the SSPX to be in formal schism, just after Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre conferred episcopal orders on four Society priests against the express will of the Holy Father.
