In the early 1950s, Mrs. Bella Dodd provided detailed explanations of the Communist subversion of the Church. Speaking as a former high ranking official of the American Communist Party, Mrs. Dodd said: "In the 1930s we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within." The idea was for these men to be ordained and progress to positions of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops. She stated that: "Right now they are in the highest places in the Church" — where they were working to bring about change in order to weaken the Church's effectiveness against Communism. She also said that these changes would be so drastic that "you will not recognise the Catholic Church." Dodd gave testimony on communist infiltration of Church and state before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee in the 1950s.
On Tuesday, August 5, 1952 she publicly announced that on April 7th of the same year, she was received back into the Roman Catholic Church. Not being able to secure her baptismal certificate from Italy after inquiry, she was therefore conditionally baptized by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York.

I read about this a long time ago. The seminaries in South America have been infiltrated also. The book "Good bye Good Men" and "Unicorn in the Sanctuary" are two books that talk about those that have the destroy the Catholic Church aganda. So I want to know about these new changes in the Liturgy that the American Catholic Bishops are going to impose on us. What's that about?
A paperback edition of Bella's biography, "School of Darkness" is available at pcpbooks for $22.00. Its a nice bio which gives the flavor of communism in NYC from the 1920's until 1950. She really was a tragic hero. God Bless her.
You think bella dodd was a 'HERO' Barry, and you DARE say ''God Bless her'' , she was the cause of sending 1,000, young men to infiltrate Catholic Semenries, as Homosexeuals , and now we are seeing the 'Labor' OF HER WORK, AND YOU '''DARE''' call her a hero????????, May God Forgive You..........................
Bella Dodd was a hero not only because she returned to the Catholic Faith but also because she had the "courage" to tell about her part in the infiltration of radical marxists into catholic seminaires. We thank her for this vital information to help save souls against the wolves in sheep's clothing who are in high places in the church today.
IRemember an interview Fr John O Connor had with bella dodd, in the 50s,where she admitted sending 1,000 young men to infiltrate Catholic Seminaries, I agree with anonymous,( tho I CANNOT UNDERSTAND why People cannot give their Name),oi
i dissagree dolorosa, there is NOTHING "Heroine" about bella dodd!!!!!!if it wasen't for HER and her communist coharts, maybe our BELOVED CHURCH wouldent be going through the 'TRIAL'S she is going through right NOW,and maybe HUNDREDS of INNOCENT Children down through the YEARS would NOT have been RAPED AND ABUSED, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO CALL HER A hero.
Whatever did happen to the list Bella Dodd gave Bishop Sheen of those she trained for seminary? Did Dr. Alice Hildebrand ever state these names?
I agree that her acts were heroic and couragous after her conversion. Those who can not see this are the same people who still cast St. Mary Magdalene in the role of the harlot and St. Paul in the role of St. Stephen's murderer. It's absurd. When a person converts and repents, they have the same rights as everyone to HIS mercy and HIS redemption. He didn't die just for the faithful but to find the lost sheep. She was lost and lead many other souls astray in her lostness. This would not have been possible had the sentries been adequately prepared for the battle ahead...of consecrating Russsia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary like Our Lady of Fatima asked in 1917. She warned against this growing tide of errors spread through Russia and as of yet, Russia has still not been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! Don't blame Bella Dodd. She's as much a victim as everyone else of these errors that were warned against. But more than a victim, she is a hero b/c she had the courage to convert and speak out the truth of it's evils.
Very well said! We all need to see also the hope that Bella Dodd's story shows. No matter how bad a life one is messed up in,God's mercy is profoundly infinite...... We can always change our evil ways, and be saved!
I hate you extremists. Only you can distort the intended meanings like this. So if she was a hero, what of the people who have been harmed as a result of what she did? Suppose they did wrong in their own ways ay. I can't wait til everyone one of you blind little sheep wake up and realise that the rest of the world hates the pedophile church institution
Bella Dodd, by her faith and courage, actually helped some communists convert to Catholicism. The Catholic Church doesn't teach priests or anyone to be a pedophile. A good book to read on this subject is "Good-bye, Good Men" by Michael Rose. Pedophiles are in every profession and in other religions as well. A lawyer even stated that many of the cases were about homosexuality.
Thank you, Bella.
The conversation seems to be sidetracked with clamors from both sides either denouncing or lionizing Bella Dodd. The more important questions seem to be who were these men infiltrated into the seminaries in the Depression Era and Post-War AmChurch? The answer is simple.
Look at the seismic shift in episcopal power in the 1960's post-conciliar Church, where the rule of autocratic, traditionalist power-brokers such as Spellman, the late Mundelein, McIntyre and to a certain extent Mooney, gave way to the clout and cachet built up by priests and monsignori as they climbed the ladder in the NCCB/USCCB.
The control of the AmChurch shifted to young turks like Bernardin, Roach, Untener, Hunthausen, Roach, Rausch who favored a decentralizing dismantling of the Traditionalist Church with a left-leaning and strongly pro-gay agenda. Bernardin, Roach and Rausch were implicated in gay network scandals and the former two were involved in the sordid Winona Seminary scandal, the questions for which have never been fully answered.
In 1952 Bella Dodd said that the Communist Parties plan to infiltrate left-leaning, homosexual young go-getters into the priesthood would render the Church unrecognizable in fifty years. By 2002 and the volcanic explosions that began in Boston proved her unerringly and prophetically correct.
The nightmarish insanity of it all is that the men supposedly dealing with the problem are the ones who are at the heart of it. The contemporary AmChurch is marked by madmen wearing miters, reason run riot and faith howling at the moon. Jesus wept.
Anonymous has it right that Dr. Dodd is not merely a hero for exposing not only how badly duped she was by the Communist Party in the 1930s but by her Senate testimony and vitally important self expose 1950s book, School of Darkness, (one can read it free online,) Dr. Dodd arms us with the truth. I would be highly suspicious of those attacking her now, trying smear her because it is an act that violates the most basic principle Jesus himself taught us and that principle is FORGIVENESS. That great principle handed down to us by the word of God goes hand-in-hand with the words of Jesus, "Oh yeah without sin, cast the first stone." Moreover, confessing our sins and transgressions against one another is one of the greatest gifts we can hand to our fellow human being because at their expense they empower us as brothers and sisters they hope to help avoid going down the same path of destruction, er go, "Yeah shall know the truth and the truth will set yeah FREE." Dr. Dodd carries the burden of knowing the long range damage she and other Communist Party conspirators did by infiltrating the Church but look at the weapons of that knowledge she placed in the hands of fellow Christians above who as a result ask, where is the list of names of the more then 1,000 false priests whose aim it was and still is to help bring down the most powerful Christian organization in the world, the Catholic Church? Forewarned, we are forearmed and could it be that our current Pope Francis who has inexplicably reinstated the LIBERATION THEOLOGIST Nicaraguan Catholic Marxist Sandinista priest, the Rev. Miguel D'Escoto Brockman, is either a student of or perhaps even one of those the former CPUSA member Dodd warned have dedicated their lives to helping destroy one of the Communist Party's most powerful enemies, the Catholic Church? This is a "Catholic Priest" who not only has the blood of the Sandinista dictatorship on his hands but during their bloody reign in the early 1980s this so-called Reverend defied the Catholic Church's ban on holding government jobs by serving the Communist Sandinista government by becoming the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Nicaragua at the United Nations. And if that bit of history related to those so-called "Reverends" who practice Marxist "Liberation Theology" doesn't turn on any lights for you, does that other liberation theologist "Reverend" Wright who screamed from the pulpit in Barack Obama's church, "God Damned America," ring any alarm bells for you?
I have seen this quote about the communists sneaking into the seminaries in many different places. But I have NEVER seen the original source material. I don't doubt that it is true, but I like to deal with verified quotes. Can anybody locate this source?
Can anybody locate the original source for this quote about placing communists in the seminaries?
Here is a link, Mary Rose Garon, of Bella Dodd's testimony before the House UnAmerican Activities in the 1950's. Hope this helps.

Did any of those who posted comments listen to the audio? It is an hour and 3/4 and so far (I'm at the 40 minute mark) NOTHING has been said about pedophiles or smuggling people into seminaries, but an extremely important stream of information about Communist methods of mind-control and of Communist methods to "reshape the cognitive map," the very way we think, is being revealed.
Be honest: have you listened to the audio?
I suspect the answer is No, because the only thing being commented on is pedophilia & seminarians.
What is amazing me about Bella Dodd's speech in the 1950s is how pertinent it is to how the USA -- and the Church -- are distorted and controlled by forces that no longer identify as Communist but that employ exactly the same techniques to frame the way we think.
I suggest you watch this youtube about the infiltration in the seminaries! Alice von Hildebrand—Bella Dodd Recruited 1,100 Communists to Enter Catholic Seminaries
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEONEL1TzMc
When one confesses and re-enters the Church, one knows the better way! Bella should be judged as we would have Jesus judge us. Her confession just as your and mine do, washes her clean, and makes her a soul new in Christ.
A key to understanding how the institutional Catholic Church(as opposed to the real Catholic Church, the holy bride of Christ and now only a marginalised minority of people) is now the creature of the NWO Jesuit modernist Pope Francis came to power is in the late Fr Malachi Martin's non-fiction book "The Jesuits". Fr Martin was viciously and falsely slandered in an attempt to discredit his writing, much of which was "faction" -- Martin himself said his novels were 90% factual. He could not print the truth as such for fear of lawsuits and reprisals. . . His predictions, based on his former position as a Vatican insider, are scarily accurate prophecy and though he died in 1999 his works are more timely than ever.
Just this week I watched a film on EWTN called "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing". It gives great details of this and so very much information in the hour and a half it was on. EWTN is selling the dvd of the film, for those who may be interested in the details. It brings up Bella Dodd and the 1,100 Communists who were ordained in the Church in the 1930's. Also, I have read the book, "AA-1025", which is memoirs of the Communist infiltration into the Church, as revealed by Marie Carre. Very good book as well.
Marra, I just watched the EWTN film you mentioned on youtube. Sadly, one thing very wrong is towards the end they say that Russia was consecrated as Our Lady of Fatima requested. This is not true. The Vatican II Popes never mentioned "Russia" by name. The only Pope that came close was Pope Pius XII who actually named Russia but didn't do it with all the bishops. If you are on Facebook then check out: Consecratio - World Group for Consecration of Russia and Fatima Message.
She converted and recieved the sacraments on her death bed. Stay Christian now..
Very important question.
Surely Our Lady if Fatima would have mentioned this evil, or did She when saying it will be very late. Thank you.
I have reservations on this also, but Sr Lucia said Heaven accepted the 1984 consecration. Our Lady said it will be late.
Supposedly a nuclear exchange in 1985 was avoided because of 84 consecration.
I hop and pray it was done.
Peace brothers and sisters.
I just read the entire book, School of Darkness, and could not find any mention of the 1,000 seminarians trained to infiltrate the Catholic church; however, I did find this reference:
https://chastisement2013.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/communist-leader-dr-bella-dodd-confesses-to-infiltrating-the-church-usa/
The book is really worth reading and very revealing as to what happened in the early part of the 20th century and what is happening in our politics today. I was very happy to learn that she returned to the church and repented of her actions; but, the harm done by her actions and under her leadership in our country was astounding.
I finished School of Darkness recently finding only 2 references to the war against RCC. You will find them by looking up Catholic in the index.
I am wondering if a more explicit chapter of her book was removed after Bella Dodd's death.
While it is true she converted,however, the damage was already done sad to say. And the worse part?. It still continues to this day...😟😢
Does anyone know the date of the Bella Dodd Speech?
I am currently creating a transcript of the Bella Dodd speech that is found at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37HgRWTsGs0&list=PLE54cnshZ83qwwbYk7oTLVKR0MWof6UQe&index=2&t=4534s
Some claim that her speech was given at FORDHAM University in NYC in 1953 while others attest that it was given to the Knights of Columbus in UTICA, NY in 1954. But both these dates cannot be accurate because in the audio of her speech she makes a reference to President J.F. Kennedy when she states: "As President Kennedy used it, and as so many politicians use it, ... "
Therefore the speech must have been made after J.F. Kennedy was elected President in 1961.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
I have been reading { Confessions of an Illuminati Vol 66]. The Holy Spirit led me to [ A Spanish Mystic in Quito, Sor Marianna de Jesus Torres]. And for the past few months praying to the Holy Face of Jesus. If you love Jesus and you know that Jesus bought the Catholic Church with his own flesh and blood. This is the prayer that you need to pray. Eternal Father, I offer you the face of Jesus, covered with blood,sweat,dust, and spittle in reparation for the crimes of Communists, Blasphemers, and for the Profaners of the Holy Name of Jesus, and the Holy Days of Obligations”. What is happening in the church is the same thing that happened to Jesus 2,000 years ago. Judas betrayed Jesus, and there are Judases in the Church. We have to make a decision: criticize the church or start praying for conversion, and for the return of Jesus in the end times. I feel that this revelation to us, is Jesus leading us to educate others in the faith, and start praying for people to recognize the Antichrist and be solid in our faith in Jesus Christ. He’s the way. In his omnipotence, he has make us his disciples to share what we know about how the devil infiltrated in the church. We cannot go back in time, but we can bring people back to the simple way towards Jesus. I hope that sharing this information with you allow you to start praying the above prayer, the face of Jesus, the rosary, to our lady of good success, the blood of Jesus, spend time in adoration, and close the door and make your own upper room in your house or your room. God Bless you, Song of Solomon “ Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away, let me see your face, for your face is sweet. I am the rose of Sharon
, and the lilies of the valleys. Like a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters”. Keep the faith, what the devil uses for evil, the Lord uses for good. The church is in thorns, but is still beautiful because Jesus is the reason of the church. Love for Jesus is the way. Thanks
