AA-1025: The Memoirs of the Communist Infiltration into the Church (Paperback may vary) Paperback – May 1, 1972

“Read the book AA-1025, a short book.” My friend Lucy waved at my brother-in-law as he fondly reminisced about his good old altar boy days in the 1950s. Unfortunately, he had long since left the Catholic Church. “Read it; it explains everything!” Lucy persisted. My ears perked, and I actively listened, praying some interest would spark his clouded mind. Alas, he dismissed the graces sent his way, but I grabbed them, and my interest peaked.“Not another book?” I fought. I’ve read so many. Must I?” Later, I questioned my friend. “You have to read it. It’s just a short book. Get it.”My review:A proud demon is speedily humbled by a car accident: an unnamed man, a briefcase, and a one-hundred-page diary documenting deceit, hate, and corruption. The impact of these revelations is profound, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.Divine Providence meets a devout Catholic nurse, a Protestant convert, who bravely studies the diary and, with unwavering conviction, gets the pages printed into this short but devastatingly honest book. The narrative is striking, making it a compelling read.Admittedly, I was horrified as the words stung my conscious mind, searing and stringing together the many fears I had already developed concerning the great infiltration into Christ’s Holy Catholic Church.Enthralling and disturbing, practically every single communist plot has manifested in the Novus Ordo Church since Vatican II.Catholics defect, the habit and cassock are practically gone, scandal upon scandal prevail, outsiders pointing and laughing, scorning. The Pius V Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is wholly gone, and error upon an error pervades the Catholic Church, known now to many of us as the “Ape Church.”As we read this personal account, we notice the graces poured out to the “Judas.” The Miraculous Medal and “Raven Hair” were sent by Our Lord to call him back. Yet rebellion prevails.Thus to all I say, I beg, do not resist the graces sent to you; push down your innate rebellion; it is your nature to rebel; it is our nature to rebel, for we are the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.Rebellion will do you no good; The Sacred Heart will keep asking and compelling you to think about His Church. As “Raven Hair” writes, “This God whom you wish to destroy is everywhere, Master of everything. By Him alone, you live; by Him alone, you keep on living. You might succeed in shaking His church; this has happened many times during the last 2,000 years… but always it has revived more beautiful and stronger. The Church of Jesus Christ… has received the promise of Eternal Life, it knows and cries out to you by my mouth that the Holy Trinity will never abandon it and that all the attacks made against it are but trials which allow for purifying the faith…the Catholic Church will continue to stand. If you persecute it, it will go into hiding, but its soul will always remain standing. For the mark of this Church is the submission to a Revelation which comes from Heaven…its domain is Supernatural and Holy so it matters not whether we are intelligent or not…”So find a Traditional Latin Mass, a St. Pius V Mass, and adhere to the Sacraments with your whole heart. If you are a Protestant, go and see and listen, for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the Adorable Sacrifice, the unbloody Sacrifice offered to the Father for the sins of the world. It is where graces for this sorry world flow. The Church is in hiding now. Find Her. She is still here, praying fervently for the world.For those Catholics in the New Mass, the Vatican II Church, it is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not a Holy Church, nor is it united therefore I quote Marie Cure, the nurse who says:“We are invited bit by bit, little obedience by little obedience, from false humility to false remorse, from deceitful charity to deceptive ambiguity, from words disguised as a double-edged word, of which “yes” is “no” and “no” is “yes” —we are invited, I say, to pretend to remain good Catholics al the while becoming perfect Protestants.”Read the book, then take action.This is not for the faint of heart, this is war.Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio, cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium. Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Ámen. Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.  Be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Just enjoy reading about everything.

nice book

Someone referenced this book in their review as a novel. It is not. It is a manuscript written by one of the many atheist/communist priests that entered into the seminary and stayed to reach positions of power to destroy the Church from within. It was never meant to be published. It was found by the nurse that attended this man after an accident that ended up killing him. This is truth. And you know this by reading this book and seeing how most everything this man wrote about has come to fruition in our beautiful, Catholic Church. I remember the Latin Mass from going to Catholic school in the 60’s, before it was ripped away from us, along with the beautiful altars facing liturgical east, the communion rails, the candles, the holiness of the Mass. It was replaced with a plain table for an altar, just as this man foretold. No more kneeling to receive Communion (as seen by priests swatting at people today who try to kneel to receive communion!) and Communion in the hand. And now, what, some 80% of Catholics no longer believe in Transubstantiation!!! They facilitated all this through Vatican II, where even Pope Paul said in 1972 that “the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God”. This book details all of it. This is no conspiracy theory. You only have to look at what was to what is today. It totally breaks my heart that we have been robbed of the beauty and holiness that was our Catholic Church for almost 2000 years. I, myself, will never receive communion in the hand again. The consecrated Host should only be held by the “Holy and venerable hands” of a “true” Catholic priest. It is up to US, THE CATHOLIC FAITHFUL, to ensure the true Catholic faith lives on in our children and grandchildren.

Great book that all Catholics should read. Time for all to return to the pre-Vatican II Latin mass!

The story is interesting, short, an easy read, thought provoking. However, it is coming up shy on the truth meter. I am learning about the infiltration of communists into the Catholic church, but to credit a single individual with conceptualizing virtually all of the major changes that happened during Vatican II (and beyond) seems a stretch, especially when the memoirs cannot (conveniently) be confirmed or denied. It is perhaps the writings of someone who is disenchanted with changes in the church over the past 50+ years and attributing current indifference of the 'faithful' to these changes.

I had heard about the man this book is written about, way back in the early 90's. The communist infiltration of the Catholic church is spot on. As a 69 year old cradle Catholic, I have watched the deterioration of the Mass over the years. What used to be respect at mass attendance is now gone. People talk loudly before and after, there is no respect for people who want to pray prior to and after mass. The respectful way people dress has gone by the way side. There are a few who do dress in a respectful or modest manner, but they are far and few between. I see people in blue jeans, women in miniskirts, crop tops and even flip flops, just to name a few of the atrocities. I think even the protestant church goers dress more appropriately than most Catholics. Really a shame.

Explains many things happening in the Catholic Church today. It almost seems like fiction until it starts to resemble the garbage coming out daily at Vatican news.

If Marie Carré wrote a work of fiction, then she should be considered a literary master. Few, if any are so expertly able to capture a character the way that Carré does with the man she calls Michael.If Marie Carré merely published the memoirs of a man who succumbed to his injuries following an auto accident, something she claims she's doing in the book, then this book represents a mercifully brief Rosetta Stone for deciphering the trajectory of the Church from the 1970's, and its prognostications have relevance today.This latter-most point is perhaps most striking; the character of Michael can be so clearly seen in the actions, mannerism and utterances of the clergy of 2018. And this necessarily means that AA-102: Memoirs of a Communist's infiltration into the Church can't be written-off as a mere fiction: AA-1025 is clearly something greater.This book represents a difficult puzzle, in that the narrative its self is almost certainly fiction, and if not fiction has almost certainly been fictionalized. The tragic romance which unfolds between AA-1025 and "Raven Hair" is almost entirely too well-crafted, too close to Hollywood to be real. And yet every bit of AA-1025's philosophical waxing, scheming, plotting, and suggestion have either unfolded in the Catholic Church, or continue to unfold today. Even the character of AA-1025 is absolutely convincing in terms of behavior, mannerism, barely concealed rage, and pride. AA-1025, in his curt dismissals and pragmatic approaches to destroying the Catholic Church from within sounds almost exactly like real-life Communist defector Yuri Bezmenov.If this is a work of pure fiction, it is fiction of the most believable kind. I must agree with the Great, Alice von Hildebrand; Marie Carré hits the bullseye from the first page, to the last.

We are witnessing today, every day, the fruits of this infiltration. Read it if you want to understand why all this is happening.

This is the diary of an unnamed Communist Party agent, referred to as "Michael", who, acting on Party orders, infiltrated the Catholic Church as an "Anti-Apostle" (the 1025th!) from 1938 onwards. Even during his six years as a trainee Catholic priest, he was one of the Party's principal religious subversion agents and his coded reports were regularly sent back to them in Russia. His diabolical ideas for subverting the Catholic Church comprise a large part of his diary and will shock those who may previously have attributed the doctrinal and liturgical changes of the last fifty years to a rather more transcendent source (the Holy Spirit). Even the Anti-Apostle himself is truly mystified by the origin of all his cunning: "Truly I do not know whence comes all that I invent, but I am a man of genius. I feel genius coming out through all the pores of my skin."The book enthralled me in a quite unexpected manner. For, not only did it highlight the "anti-doctrine" used to undermine the Catholic Faith during Vatican II and its aftermath, but it also contained a most poignant sub-plot involving the romantic attachment that develops between the agent and the girl "Raven Hair", whose great love for him (but yet greater love for God) ultimately leads her to sacrifice herself for him as a victim soul. Surely few men will ever receive such profound, selfless love from the woman of their dreams."Michael" died in an Irish hospital around 1970 after having been injured in a fatal automobile accident. He left behind him a briefcase containing a number of documents, including this diary which his French nurse, a convert from Protestantism, discovered and subsequently had published.Yes, the French nurse may have edited the diary a fraction, and yes the diarist may well have exaggerated the importance of his own role in the infiltration of the Catholic Church, but, if this work is ultimately little more than fiction (as some have claimed), it's certainly quite extraordinary fiction. So either read it as the authentic diary of a fifth columnist (as I did) or as a unique, magnificent tale. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

Everyone should read this, many things are clear now. And my faith bigger.i am Catholic , i am at home.
