Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Did Communist intelligence services really place agents inside the top levels of the Catholic Church - and did some of them help shape Vatican II Bella Dodd's claim that over a thousand Communist sympathizers were pushed into Catholic seminaries has been debated, dismissed, and defended for seventy years. The War Within the Church doesn't settle that argument with speculation. It settles it with newly declassified documents.Drawing on declassified KGB, Stasi, and Eastern Bloc secret police archives - including Hungary's post-2016 church commission findings and Latvia's 2018 KGB card-index release - this is the most current, most rigorously sourced account of Communist infiltration of the Catholic Church available to general readers. Where the record proves recruitment, the book says so. Where it doesn't, the book says that too. Every claim is graded - proven agent, candidate, contact, or politically cooperative cleric - and backed by 425 endnotes.Inside, you'll find: - The real story behind Bella Dodd's seminary infiltration claim - and what the archives actually confirm- Named case studies of intelligence-linked clergy across Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Romania- How Communist intelligence services worked to influence the Second Vatican Council from behind the scenes- A dedicated Evidence Register and Vatican II Influence Ledger - the primary-source paper trail, laid out chapter by chapter- What happened after 1989, when the files opened and the Church had to reckon with its own wounds- A theological framework - rooted in Scripture, the Fathers, and the Magisterium - for understanding this history as more than politics: a spiritual battle 'not against flesh and blood'This is not another retelling of the Bella Dodd story. It's the documented history behind it - disciplined enough for the skeptic, sourced enough for the scholar, and written for the Catholic reader who has always suspected there was more to the story than anyone wanted to prove.If you've read Spies in the Vatican or The Devil and Bella Dodd, this is the book that picks up where the archives leave off.For readers of Catholic history, Cold War espionage, Vatican II controversy, and the spiritual roots of institutional crisis - this is the book that connects the documents to the deeper war.…
