It’s a new book called AA-1025 Memoirs of the Communist Infiltration into the Church. Has anyone read it? If you did how was it?

I haven’t, but thanks for the heads up. I’d been reading (online) the story of Bella Dodd, a lifelong (almost) Communist whose job was to help the party infiltrate the public school system. She purportedly told Bishop Sheen (who was directly involved with her reception BACK into the Church as she was baptised as a child but not raised Catholic) that the Party had placed thousands of young men in seminaries worldwide and that some were advancing even to leadership levels of the Church in some places. That was in the 1950s.
Satan of course would love to infiltrate the Church, turn the faithful towards rebellion, and in all ways destroy the Church. Communism, doctrinally atheistic, would be a good “yeast of the Pharisees” problem for him to foment in the Church. :sad_yes:
And the Communists (I think here of the USSR, the American Communist Party, Red China, and those parlor Communists who work to “bring it all down, man”) with their worldwide Revolution, official atheism, and class warfare as foundational ‘givens’; would
view the Catholic Church as an obstacle to be overcome in all those areas.
I’ll take a look at the book sometime soon I think.
Meanwhile, let’s keep praying for the Church. She has always helped the poor and promoted charity. But when I hear the term “Social Justice” in the Church followed by what seems to be subtle class warfare sentiment (up to and including coveting anothers’ goods), I gulp hard and wonder.
