[autobiography of a former member of the National Committee of the Communist Party who left the party & became a Catholic, shows the behind-the-scenes subversion occurring in the US] 2011 264p [reprint of 1954 1st ed] hard back with dust jacket. Book Condition: New. #60290 $22 Bella Dodd’s story is a human document of immense importance to Americans today. Here are the inner workings of the Communist Party in this country as seen from the secret counsels and strategy meetings of the National Committee, to which she belonged for a crucial span of years. As long ago as the 1940’s, the Party was planning cynically to use the Negroes as instruments in the revolution-to-come in the United States. The theory, contrived by Stalin and unleashed by Foster, was to encourage self-determination of the Negroes in the black belt and the establishment of a Negro nation with the right to secede from the United States. Bella Dodd’s is a story familiar to many a young American idealist who saw in Communism a new gospel and who worked sacrificially in the cause until the inevitable bitter day when the cause betrayed her. For her that day came almost too late for her own salvation, for as she tells us, it takes a long time to unbecome a Communist. As a brilliant young college instructor, and one with legal training, Bella Dodd attracted the attention of top Communists by her unremitting fight to improve the pay and working conditions of New York City’s teachers. Her conversion to Communism was a slow infiltration of the mind by an appeal to love of humanity, a vision of a better society and wider social justice. She rose in Party ranks to National Committee membership and was also the legislative representative of its New York State Committee, a member of the State Board and the State Secretariat. This report of her activities and those of the high-up Party leaders covers the historic period during World War II of the Democratic Front, the Rapp-Coudert investigation of Communist teachers, the propaganda drive on behalf of Loyalist Spain, the work of the Women’s Trade Union for Peace, the goings-on in the famous Ninth Floor of Communist headquarters. She recreates the atmosphere of suspicion and conspiracy which was part of the air she breathed in those days. She reports tense sessions in which friends turned their backs on friends and former leaders found themselves demoted overnight as the Party line from Moscow changed course. The climax of the book is a snowy Christmas Eve when Bella Dodd finds the reaffirmation of her faith, and can say, I have learned from bitter experience that you cannot serve man unless you first serve God in sincerity and truth. Bella Dodd became widely known as a lecturer. She also wrote and practiced law in her New York Office and lectured extensively after her return to the Faith. Product # 63290

Mention is often made of Leo XIII and a famous vision that he saw – that of an attack being made or planned by the devil against the Church. The facts about this vision, however, have been unclear for many decades, for there are different versions of what occurred, and of what was or was not said in that vision. What is fact and what is fiction about this event in modern papal history? Read more...
