Back in the 1930s, there was a concentrated effort among American communists to put men of questionable character into the Catholic seminaries. Bella Dodd said that she got 1,000 such men into the seminaries. She also worked with four cardinals to do it. She never named the cardinals. She later became Catholic and was brought into the Church by Bishop Fulton Sheen.

If you look at the bishop accountability site and look at the years when the abusing priests began doing their abusing it all began in the 30s and 40s. These four cardinals supervised the influx and as these priests rose in their ranks they brought others in. By the 1970s, certain seminaries were profoundly infected where good men were being turned away.

Our Lord said that just before His return all foundations would be shaken, which would include the Catholic Church.
