What Can We Learn Today From Bella Dodd?

I have known who Bella Dodd was for a long time.  I read her book, School of Darkness, several years ago and more importantly I had a conversation with Alice von Hildebrand about her.  Alice knew her personally and so did her husband Dietrich.  Alice taught at the same college in New York that Bella had also taught at the beginning of her professional career.  Alice was grounded in philosophy and Bella was absorbed in materialism, communist materialism.  While Bella was indeed, like Alice, a Catholic, her family had never given her any of the benefits of a religious upbringing or the sacraments, nor had they taken her to church.  Bella was baptized as an infant in Italy before her parents came to the USA to work.    That would be the end of her journey as a Catholic until much later in her life. 

Communist Infiltration in the Church

Did you ever read Communist Bella Dodd's memoir, School of Darkness? After becoming a Catholic, Dodd described her efforts to infiltrate the Church by putting agents in the seminaries. Those men would have reached positions of power in the 60s, the very time when collapse of the faith took hold in the "spirit of Vatican II." To understand what's happening today people need to understand history. See more about Bella Dodd and Communist infiltration of the Church.
