I read the book. It is not an autobiography, it is fiction. Carre was a Roman Catholic who was rightfully dismayed at Vatican II. She made up this story of KGB infiltration to deflect from the real source of Roman Catholic apostacy, which, of course, is the Roman Catholic Church itself.
As for the suggestion that the fragmentation of the TOC's is blessed by God...NO! Get a grip, people.
Do you have any proof that Marie Carre made up AA1025 and that it is fictional?
There have been several other books and articles written by former communist spies who detailed their stories, which parallel that published by Carre. However, I certainly agree with you that there have been and currently are some scoundrels clothed as Roman Catholic priests, bishops, and even cardinals who still need to be brought to justice for allowing the molestation of thousands of children throughout the world. Certainly this deplorable situation is an indication that the Roman Catholic Church has fallen into apostacy. However, this topic should be covered in a new thread.
Back on topic: the fragmentation of the TOC's is unfortunate, but it is a symptom of our sinfulness, not a blessing of God.
Even though the burden of proof is on the author, the nature of the narrative is the strongest evidence. It is so improbable as to be ridiculous.
That the KGB have infiltrated the MP is not fiction. Several members of the MP hierarchy have been revealed as KGB agents. Indeed, the allegation in 1997 that the Ukrainian Patriarch Filaret Denisenko was a KGB agent was proven correct. With all the wickedness and intrigue at the Vatican, is very probable that the KGB have succeeded in infiltrating the Vatican at the highest levels. The former Jesuit priest, Father Malachi Martin, and others also documented the presence of KGB agents in the Roman Catholic hierarchy. I talked with several devout Melkite priests who were at Vatican II, and they were convinced that some of the Cardinals were KGB agents because their attitudes were not correct. In Los Angeles, many Catholics labeled Cardinal Mahony, who aided pedophile priests, as the "red" cardinal. Indeed, the "Red Cardinal of Century City" was Father Malachi Martin's nickname for Cardinal Mahony.
In fact, as an undergraduate, many years ago, I won a scholarship to attend two weeks at a special Stanford economics forum where they had an avowed communist on staff. We received special instruction on how to recognize communist and KGB tactics and propaganda. That communist professor was our final project! He could not wait to leave the lecture hall.
