Since the 1960s, Saul Alinsky’s words and famous work, Rules for Radicals, have influenced political tactics and theories — especially on issues concerning social justice. Behind his thesis, however, lurks a deadly agenda that threatens the Church — and Christianity’s core beliefs.

This film is a powerful new docu-drama from the Catholic father-and-son team of Richard and Stephen Payne. It reveals how Alinsky, the father of community organizing, successfully pulled the wool over society’s eyes. The Paynes deftly examine Alinsky’s massive political influence, including the impact on his most famous pupils — Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

The film, which aired on EWTN during the fall, is a lens into America’s cultural Marxism euphemistically called “progressivism.” The Paynes explore Alinsky and his movement juxtaposed with the classic teachings of the Church with insights from philosopher Dr. Alice von Hildebrand, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J. (who was trained in Alinskyian organizing), Alinsky expert Stephanie Block, and others.

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing is a powerful attempt to sound the alarm for those not yet fully aware of Alinsky and the threat he still poses to the U.S. and the Catholic Church. It calls for a return to the Church’s social principles for the sake of saving society from the culture of death brought about by Marxism.

In Alinsky’s final interview just before his 1972 death, he said, “If there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell…. Over here, if you’re a have-not, you’re short of dough. If you’re a have-not in hell, you’re short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I’ll start organizing the have-nots.” Asked why, Alinsky states, “They’re my kind of people.”
