Like everything else (as that "pope" clearly illustrates), it was Communist-infiltrated many, many decades ago.
Communist Leader, Dr Bella Dodd, Confesses to Infiltrating the Church & USA
In this audio (1:46:37) you will hear Bella Dodd, who was a leader of the Communist Party of America (CPUSA) in the 1930s and 1940s. She explains what she did while working as a communist… (1:46:37) https://youtu.be/37HgRWTsGs0
Dr. Dodd served as legal council (attorney) for the Communists. Her book, "School of Darkness" (1954) reveals that Communism was perpetrated by financiers "to control the common man" and to advance world tyranny.
She also testified before the US House Un-American Activities Committee. 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. A dozen years before Vatican II 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 recognize the Catholic Church." https://archive.is/8k5Gu
How many well-known/prominent Catholics pitched a fuss over that Communist “pope” - especially when MOLOCK was placed at Rome’s Holy Colosseum’s entrance?
Funny how ZERO Communist MSM touched it, eh? Too busy pushing the "racial" tactic.
