I don't know where you got that idea about the Catholic church supporting communism but I hope it wasn't from a comic book. The Catholic Church has always been against communism.

Jack Chick tracts. Here's an example:

"Jesuits worked closely with Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin" to create Communism, and it was "believed that soon . . . Communism would rise up as the new strong daughter of the Vatican."[5] It was Rome that instigated the Bolshevik Revolution and the murder of the czar’s family.[6] The Communist "liberation theology" movement also is a Vatican plot."

Chick is a recluse. Little is known about him and only two pictures of him have surfaced over the years. It’s tempting to laugh off Jack Chick’s tracts and comic books. Their lurid tales and paranoid conspiracy theories make them hard to take seriously. But millions of people take them very seriously. That is why Chick has been able to distribute more than half a billion of his tracts. What is worse, many are aimed directly at Catholics, attempting to convert them to Fundamentalism. His most anti-Catholic tracts tend to conclude with a final panel like this one, urging Catholics to repudiate their faith.

"Chick is a recluse."

Sounds like he needs a Mass intention.
