Note From the Editors:
The purpose of this document is, first and foremost, to provide sources for the claims made in the film Enemies Within: The Church, as an attestation to the truth of our documentary. The Master Notes and Bibliography provides additional notes alongside direct sources that verify specific data points, provide historical and contextual material, and direct viewers to original sources (such as videos, articles, etc. which are referenced or displayed in EWTC). Not every citation is an endorsement of the source that is cited; sources are relevant only insofar as they verify the claims made in the film, unless otherwise stated. All notes and citations are time-stamped to match the online edition of the film which can be accessed at www.enemieswithinthechurch.com.
Over the course of the film’s reception, many have inquired about a variety of specific claims. This was expected, due to the nature of documentaries like this one. The subversion of the American Church has reached a shocking height, and it comes as no surprise that some viewers might respond with incredulity. While it is not offensive to our team that some members of our audience might be skeptical, it would be rather tedious to respond to each individual inquiry about EWTC’s claims. This bibliography serves as a one-stop resource which can assist incredulous and skeptical viewers in verifying the testimonies of our narrator, interviewees, graphics, and the rest.
The Master Notes and Bibliography will be updated with more citations, sources, and notes as necessary. If you have further questions, please read the full bibliography, sources, and footnotes carefully to ensure that you have a strong grasp of the material. If you have additional resources, please email us at [email protected].
May Christ be glorified,

13:05: Trevor Loudon continues: “Even before the Bolshevik Revolution, American communists and socialists were plotting” to bring America down. One of the very first Communist fronts in America was the Methodist Federation for Social Service (now the Methodist Federation for Social Action). Professor Harry Ward of Union Theological Seminary co-founded it alongside members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1907. The Bolshevik Revolution did not begin until 1917, a decade later.

From his obituary in the New York Times: “‘Joseph Fletcher was a true pioneer in modern biomedical ethics,’ said James Childress, a professor of religious studies at the University of Virginia, ‘and as the field developed, he challenged all of us through his writings and conversations to think more clearly and deeply about the important ethical issues of our times.’”

16:59: During 1960’s and ’70’s, Western Christianity (especially American Christianity) was largely subverted by social justice ideologues, and that subversion started in campus radical Leftist movements. Jon Harris’s first book on the subject, entitled Social Justice Goes to Church, is an excellent resource which demonstrates the veracity of this claim from cover to cover.

17:13: Richard Mouw was radicalized in college and he began to walk away from faith. However, he read “Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism” by Carl F. H.

20:23: Starting around the 1920’s (after the Soviet revolution in Russia), communists started infiltrating seminaries. They targeted various religious orders, including the Franciscans, Benedictines, and primarily Jesuits (source in the next timestamp citation.)
20:56: Bella Dodd- member of American Communist Party in the 1930’s and she was involved in teachers unions in New York. She spoke about bringing 1100 Communists into the Catholic Church. According to Church Militant: “Von Hildebrand shared with us the story of one Bella Dodd, a Communist agent with the American Communist Party from 1927–49. Dodd eventually converted to the Catholic faith under the direction of Abp. Fulton Sheen and became friends with the von Hildebrands. Here is what Alice told us that Dodd told her and her husband in 1965: ‘Stalin, soon after he came to power, ordered his cronies to invade Catholic seminaries … with young men that had neither faith nor morals. Now … the ideal cases: homosexual. Obviously, you don’t suppose that someone … well, it’s much more complicated, you know, to have an affair with a woman. But if you’re a homosexual, and then it was a tragic mission … . [Dodd] declared publicly — I repeat, publicly — that in the course of the 20 years of activities for the Communists, she recruited some 1,100 young men.’”

21:12: By the time Dodd got out, many of those young communists raised to the rank of Bishop and Cardinal. As Michael Voris writes in the article regarding the interview with Dr. von Hildebrand: “Eleven hundred Communist plants who were homosexual over the space of roughly 20 years could create massive chaos in the Church by the time they would “mature” in their priesthoods. Of 1,100 men, surely a good number would have advanced to bishops, archbishops and even cardinals. And their primary role would have been to recruit the next generation of men for the seminaries… Does this explain… the massive, near-sudden acceptance of homosexuality among the clergy over the past 20 or so years? It’s hard to argue against such a conclusion. In fact, nearly very aberration and evil, every horrible catechesis, every abuse-ridden Mass, every gay music director, liturgy director youth director, every sordid homosexual affair, every busted gay bishop and cardinal, every case of child molestation by priests, bishops and cardinals, every open embrace of the sodomite agenda in the Church these days, all of it is easily explained by this simple hypothesis.”

21:46: Communist Front/Socialist Front: an organization that purports to do one thing but has a significant number of Leftist leaders to push a Marxist agenda. According to an article published in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review: “Because the Communist movement cannot attain all its goals through the single instrumentality of the Communist Party, it frequently resorts to the use of organizations which operate under Communist instruction, but are not openly associated with the Communist Party or the Communist movement. Lacking the broad purposes of the Party, these groups are utilized by the Communist movement for more specific aims.”

22:30: Quote from an official of the atheist communist Chinese Academy of Social Sciences: “We studied everything we could from the historical, political, economic, and cultural perspective. At first, we thought it was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then, we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next, we focused on your economic system. But in the past 20 years, we’ve realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity. That is why the West is so powerful. The Christian moral foundation of cultural and social life was what made possible the emergence of capitalism, and then the successful transition to Democratic politics. We do not have any doubt about this.”

It is about creating heaven on earth– and you do that through socialist utopia.” Communists “completely twisted Christian doctrine, but they kept the Christian terminology.” Or, as former Soviet spy Ion Mihai Pacepa puts it in an interview with the Catholic News Agency: “The movement was born in the KGB, and it had a KGB-invented name: Liberation Theology.

33:30: “The Black Church and Marxism: What Do They Have to Say to Each Other?” — Occasional Paper from The Institute of Democratic Socialism. In the film, the following sentiment is attributed to Cone: “Liberation theology is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” An exact quotation from Cone demonstrates that this was, indeed, his position: “Christian theology is a theology of liberation. It is a rational study of the being of God in the world in light of the existential situation of an oppressed community, relating the forces of liberation to the essence of the gospel, which is Jesus Christ. This means that its sole reason for existence is to put into ordered speech the meaning of God’s activity in the world, so that the community of the oppressed will recognize that its inner thrust for liberation is not only consistent with the gospel but is the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

36:50: Russell Fuller identifies Matthew Hall as a teacher and purveyor of social justice in a position of high status (provost) at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, under the direction of Albert Mohler. Wokepedia concurs: “Matthew Hall has claimed not only to fight racism, but to be a racist himself. While this seems counterintuitive to the rational mind– after all, what sort of person would want to identify himself as a racist, and yet uphold CRT talking points?– it is in fact consistent with Critical Race Theory’s core doctrine that all white people are inherently racist, privileged, and fragile. By proclaiming this about himself, Hall expresses his Woke “anti-racist” zeal in perfect harmony with the doctrines of CRT.”

From the video description: “In perhaps the most revealing video yet to surface, chronicling the influence of Critical Race Theory in the Southern Baptist Convention, two assistant professors, Jarvis Williams and Curtis Woods, along with provost Matthew Hall, are shown clearly promoting Neo-Marxist ideas at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and in internet videos.

The relevant evidence for his claims at the 39:29 mark [involving the fact that old courses had been slashed, so instead students had to take “Critical Thinking and Worldview,” which was full of empty philosophizing and theorizing, alongside “Meaning, Vocation, and Flourishing” which blended economic philosophy with Christian language] and his claim at 40:12 and 40:30 [that SWBTS students were stripped of objectivity, replaced with (postmodern) theory; theory then becomes critical theory; and from critical theory it turns easily to critical race theory] are to be found in the following article and interviews.

Now, early in this controversy, I felt it quite necessary, in order to make clear the Gospel to deny anything like a sexual orientation– and speaking at an event for the National Association of Evangelicals, twenty something years ago, I made that point. I repent of that.”

59:15: Robert Lopez rightly notes that the gay community has a lot of abuse. For example, there is a significantly higher amount of dating violence among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and especially transgender youth, per Dank (et al.). Moreover, pedophilic offenders against children are significantly more likely to be homosexual than a random person selected out of the population, per the findings of Freund and Watson. Around 1 in 20 of the population is estimated to be homosexual (which is a liberal estimate); however, for every 2 sexual offenders that have abused a female child, there is 1 sexual offender who has abused a male child. Homosexuals, then, are disproportionately overrepresented in sexual offenses against children.

Tom Skinner talked about systemic oppression/racism in the United States, in policing, and these kinds of things– and most importantly, taught Keller that the Gospel itself that the fundamentalists had and the gospel of the social gospel needed to both be wedded together. Tim Keller took that to heart. He listened to the lecture by Tom Skinner at Urbana 70 where he made this argument multiple times, he said it changed his world. Elward Ellis, his classmate at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, told Tim Keller and his girlfriend… (who became his wife) essentially were racists.” Harvey Conn taught him a new hermeneutic, called the ‘hermeneutical spiral.’”

1:52:49: Phil Haney notes that the terms Chrislam, interfaith dialogue, and “Common Word” refer to the same thing: religious pluralism between “Abrahamic faiths” that ultimately leads to the conclusion that the God of Christianity and the “allah” of Islam are one and the same God.

1:52:56: The phrase “Common Word” comes from Qur’an 3:64: “Come, now let us find a common word between you and us, that we all worship Allah, that he has no partners, and that he who turns aside is not a good Muslim.” Moreover, it is explicitly not about mere agreements between Christians and Muslims; rather, it is about persuading Christians to assent to Islam. From Ala-Maududi, “the invitation here is for the two parties to agree on something believed in by one of them, the Muslims, and the soundness of which could hardly be denied by the other party, the Christians.”
