You wanna know something, Jeffrey Ade, based upon all that Malachi Martin knew... I suspect at one time he may have been one of the bad guys who grew a conscience and had a conversion. Martin worked for Cardinal Bea as his assistant during Vatican II... but before the Council closed in '65 Martin left the Jesuits and later wrote to expose the reality of what was happening inside the visible institution of the Catholic Church. While in Rome Martin met many insiders and maintained those contacts - including private meetings with Pope John Paul II.
