I'm an atheist who was raised irish catholic. As a child, at my bedtime my mum would read me a story and then we'd kneel beside my bed and say 3 prayers. My mum passed 7yrs ago and these memories keep coming back and make me happy. I don't know why I lost my faith, but I'd love to believe there was something after this life. X

"My fear is being separated from God, that's my fear. I don't have any other fear." Something really stirred in me with those words, thanks so much for sharing!

So I’m a Jesus worshiping, Bible believing Christian. Growing up some of what I was taught was negative towards Catholicism (not the people, the culture). Thank you for posting this. I was definitely taught wrongly. I look forward to engaging more with this content and learning more about the culture. LOVE IT! Rocked for so many reasons. Thank you.

I have recently had a picture fly off a dresser, I felt like I was being watched Banging on the floor of a spare room, noises of something running down stairs This has been around until my ex died of overdose prior to that I had got into the occult by accident through misguided people who thought they were being helpful. He hated me and was into dark stuff Since he died these things have stopped happening Plus I have crucifixes,picture with Bible verses, I play psalms 91 and 23 And the local priest came and blessed the house However it stopped only after i went to confession , received forgiveness for my witchcraft, then I started reading the Bible ( before that I was not able to open a Bible !) and now I’m saying the rosary every day I also play worship songs going to mass and confession and returned to my catholic faith ❤

“When you’re encountering the Devil, you’re encountering a loser.” AMEN!!! That’s absolutely right, I love it :) God is Awesome!

Fr Carlos Martins : " I claim the authority of my bloodline. Lord I invite you in and to heal any and every wound that is here. "

Fr . Carlos one of the most holiest nuns told me to pray Divine Mercy when I can, she said Do not become overly concerned with 3:00 although it’s a special time. This enabled me so much to stay inside this devotion. Since then that nun has passed on and my life has changed immeasurable for the good , I’m sure it’s her prayers. 🦋

58:58 Father Martin just broke down our Catholic Faith, Our Beliefs, Our Creation and Values in under 1,000 words........... Perhaps one of the most fundamental and flawless interpretations i have studied or heard in the entire 2023 year thus far. Now ranked among my top 10 of Catholic theological dessimination. Excellently well spoken. To God be the praise and glory.

“My fear is being separated from God”. This statement put my own fears into perspective. Namely, the loss of God (or preventing this) should be my sole focus. Everything else should fall away.

“One confession is worth a thousand exorcisms.” Wow, that is powerful. Thank you for this interview. 1:03:05

I had no idea what to expect from this interview, but it strengthened my faith. Father Martin has seen so many extraordinary things and yet he shines with hope. I was amazed to learn that angels can help during an exorcism. They don’t show you that in the movies!

Im a Christian 4yrs and have an addiction please pray for my flesh to shed and let the lord shine throughout the rest of my life! My name is "Joseph" let me be in you're prayers to get rid of my addiction to piscrition drugs! 🙏

Fr.Martin’s podcast (The exorcist files) is the best podcast I’ve ever come across. It’s not for the faint-hearted.

This is probably the best 3 hours of profound Catholic conversation I've heard/watched and I've seen many.

Protestant here. This was a very interesting and informative interview! May God bless you all, much love and respect for my catholic brothers and sisters. Thank you for the excellent interview!

At the end when Fr Carlos mentions that he will ask the demon what it was originally created for, the responses struck me like a bolt of lightning. It broke my heart. I had never thought about that before.

Please pray for me as I battle against pornography and fornication, and have had demonic oppressions and poor sleep as a result. Thank you and God bless.

Listening to exorcists always gets me so hyped to be Catholic. These guys are legit warriors and it’s awesome. I’d fight an army to the death defending my family or faith, but the thought of being an exorcist is terrifying.

His talk about how demons can infest through sexual sins and how they target children. It just rings so true with modern culture. The fetish stuff that is just so pervasive and public, being performed FOR children. The Pride events, the drag shows, teachers pushing sexual books onto children as young as kindergarten. It all makes sense when you look at it through that lens.

I just Love, Love, Love Fr Carlos. I've learned more from that man, Bishop James Long, Fr Chad Ripperger, Msgr Rossetti, and Fr Vince Lampert just through videos and stuff in the last couple years than I have from anybody. I thank God for these wonderful Catholic men of God.

I met Father Martins on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, in 2021. He was touring with 60-plus relics, and was in Lewiston, Maine. He blessed several rosaries for me. His retelling of the St. Maria Goretti story is amazing. He is an amazing priest. I feel very blessed to have met him.

I love him saying, “Satan is a loser who has already lost”. Amen!!!! Jesus is King! Jesus IS LORD! Praise you Heavenly Father!!!!

I was staying at a haunted orphanage and my God I have dozens of demonic experiences i can share with you all. The worst was when I could feel the demons all over me at night, I could feel the energy, this also happened to the manager at that orphanage and to previous guests at that place. Then twice the demons physically touched me on my left upper arm, near my shoulder at 3am!!!!! I felt a fingure touch me and again on the same spot days later. That is the time that demons really like to mock and they are in full swing with their mischievousness as that is the time 3pm that Jesus died on the cross. They have to invert everything Godly. Feeling the energy was bad but when they actually touch you as if a person just touched you then you know they can shapeshift into anything. They can even turn up at your door pretending to be your friend or lover. There are no limits to their evil. God allowed them to touch me so that i could know the reality of these beasts and share it with you all now.

Just say over and over, “My Jesus, I surrender my life. Take care of everything!” It will bring you so much peace!☮️ ✝️

I never understood why the priest at our church always asked for us to pray for him. Now I know why!

I have so much respect for the church for not succumbing to pressure to record exorcisms. I can only imagine how many diabolical people would get obsessed with those records. It seems it would do far more harm than good

As a Non-Denominational Christian that leans on the Pentecostal side I am amazed with how much my faith has in common with the true Catholic faith (My family on my Moms side is "Catholic" in name only). This was very eye opening and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to watch this. I have been through deliverance with my Pastor (non Catholic) I had a spirit of grief that was oppressing me and everything Father Carlos Martins is saying rings 100% accurate. With the exception of the stance on Baptism of Babies. In my faith our salvation is sealed until the age of accountability when we know right from wrong and at that point one needs to give their life to Christ or be subject to eternal damnation. Having said that...may GOD continue to Bless and Keep him! ❤🙏🔥🕯✝🛐

Once I learned about all this as I grew in my Faith I remembered My Aunt had us play with a Quiji board as children, did automatic writings for us as young adults, took us to Tarot Card readings...I confessed all this at my next confession. So much tragedy occurred in my family. Serious tragedies where I had lost every loved one by the time I was 41. It had to be related. I pray many who listen to this wake up and talk to a Priest as soon as is possible. 🙏🙏🙏

Protestant here. Fr. Martin is the top man to talk about exorcism, he articulates them in a top notch way.

I I'm not Catholic but have thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Farther Carlos spoke very beautifully about conception and many other things that while he was speaking I had to just give glory to God. What a wonderful man and ministry that he has been called to. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

I love that spiritual warfare isn't sensationalized but the veil is being lifted through these important interviews. God bless all our clergy. The Hail Mary is my fight song. AMDG ✝️ THank you for sharing.

This is absolute pure gold. Every story, every sentence...straight truth and clarity. No way to avoid the correct path after watching this!

Protestant here and absolutely loved this interview, mad respect for my brothers in the Catholic Church and this man of God here. Bless you father and your work!

As a protestant I find this very informing, never heard this from my church sadly. I am learning more about the catholic faith (via for example sam shamoun and lloyd de jongh (who is himself a protestant ironically)). I do have different views on some items like veneration of Mary and saints and the rosary but I am appreciating my catholic brethren and siters more then I used to. God bless.

I've watched this interview twice, and my favorite part starts at 2:19:50, "Demons, Their Purpose, and Their Nemesis." To hear them admit for what purpose they were created and how they rejected that purpose is astounding.

This was a blast! Thank you ! God bless you and all the people who have watched the interview! It is a profound wisdom and the love was felt through the whole interview, God's love is almighty!

"If you're stupid enough to have mortal sins and show up to an exorcism" Lol that line hit so hard

I pray God sends me a priest such as this man, Ive never seen a baptist attend to their sheep. This priest also helps me better understand the trauma of my youth wow

Stumbled upon a Christian who uses tarot cards to pray to God. Would not listen to me. Convinced it helped her feel closer to God. And that she was protected because she believes in Jesus. She also said her family is high up in free masons and they are Bible and God based .. that’s actually how the convo started! Apparently she does a whole ritual to pray to god with crystals and the tarot cards and a candle. She also said she had been deeply hurt by the church she attended as a child and thought higher of the free masons than the church. 💔 I hope I was able to say something plant some seed that’s making her question needing tarot cards to feel close to God 🙏 I’m still praying for her

Thank you, Fr. Martins, for this interview, and thank you, Matt, for having him on! I have been so blessed by The Exorcist Files and Fr. Martins' talks and interviews.

As a catholic...what he says about faith is true....nothing dramatic has to happen to make you believe more in God...just experiencing his love is enough ❤

Chaplet of Divine Mercy takes 10 minutes and it’s right when I’m driving the kids home. They all have it memorized now and they memorized it before me and helped me with it but then again, THE LORD inspired ME to have a devotion to it because it was the medicine *I* needed. I’d highly recommend others observe the octave of Easter and complete the Divine Mercy at that time at a minimum though. “Jesus, I trust in you”

Father Martins has such a comforting voice. I listen to the podcast as well and I cannot get over how much his voice projects peace. Truly a man living his calling.

My late sister had a demonic house infestation after having had used the ouija board in the house. I visited her once during this time. We were all sitting at the kitchen table having a good time talking with each other ( my late brother in law was present too). After a while we got to talking about what was going on the house, and I felt a need to pray for them. So I excused myself from the table, saying Ivwas tired and needed a nap ( my real intention was to lay down on the couch and pray for them). Nobody knew that I was going to pray except myself. As soon as I mentally started to pray the Our Father, a huge hanging wall picture in the living room near the couch went flying off the hook - and crash landed on the opposite side of the living room! Proof positive of demonic presence

Fr. Martins has one of the most calming demeanors I have ever witnessed. God bless you, Father!

Last week I woke up in sleep paralysis with a bunch of evil spirits whispering and talking and I just said “begone” and said I’m God’s child, hasn’t come back since. I’ve had so many experiences like this that I never knew were related to evil spirits until much later

“My fear is being separated from God” Yes!!! Wow, honestly, these exorcists really do hit the nail on the head. Consistently.

The whole explanation of why confession is so important blew me away. The realization i have now of the grave matter of carrying mortal sin on the heart hit me like a truck. I admit I’ve been ignorant to this stuff & never really thought much of sin because, well, everyone sins. But man, the fact that just 1 mortal sin or any other sin can easily erase your heaven citizenship and make you belong to the devil makes me wanna run to confession EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I’ve been clinging to my rosary lately because in praying to Mary i find deep comfort and assurance, I now will use it as a spiritual weapon against the evil one. Thank you Fr. Carlos.

So this happened - I was listening to the podcast, and when Matt and Fr Carlos were talking about the Divine Mercy and how 3pm does not always work, something compelled me to stop what I was doing and check the time - it was 3:01pm! I very rarely say the chapter. God was saying to me: “so, my boy, make a choice: treat this moment as missing your chance to pray the chaplet and carry on, or take this chance to stop and pray.” I stopped and prayed!

I had a manager once who was proud of being a witch and engaged in many occult practices. She claimed she was using "white magic," which was supposedly good and not of the devil, but then she wore a pentagram ring on each hand. She told me once that she knew how to put hexes on people but doing so not only harmed the intended victim but also herself. My cubicle had a common wall with hers, so I placed a tiny blessed crucifix under the wall. She eventually fired me, and I was relieved to get away from her. Her name begins with K. Please pray for her.

Thank you and God bless you Fr. Martins, Matt and crew for this outstanding talk! May God grant us, all viewers- past, present and future, the grace of understanding and a stronger Faith, ways and means to fight and survive the spiritual warfare that is in our midst. Let us pray for the whole world, esp. the USA! Our Lady of Victory, pray for us❤️‍🔥🙏🙏🙏

Jesus, I trust in you. Please protect my family and hear our prayers.

“ I have so much faith in God” - Fr Carlos. Love this priest ‘s and Fr Lampert’s extraordinary faith and service to God. I always learn so much listening to them❤️

Working in a loud tractor today. Can’t wait to get home and listen to this while drinking an end of the day beer

Im only 10 min in, at the part where Fr Martins mentions he is a convert from atheism. Having watched two of his other videos...my jaw literally (as in *literally*) dropped. I don't know if he mentions it in this video, but I would love to know how ***_that_* happened. Imagine how much grace had to come on him to convert an atheist!!! Wow! Amazing!! Its different if you were already Christian but a different religion, but an atheist conversion and an exorcist! Holy WOW! Incredible ❤🙏🏻❤

May the Lord be present to my elder son, and bring him back to the faith.

It is taking me a while to get through this podcast and I must say, this is by far the most significant interview with Fr. Martins I have ever heard. I have seen dozens of interviews of Fr. Martins. Always informative, always delightful and special but always an hour or less. This 3+ hour interview is bar none, the best candid interview ever. Thank you Matt for such an in depth and riveting interview.

I love Father Carlos, his demeanor is an inspiration.

Fr Carols Martins we ❤ you for what you are doing and I pray for you and your fellow ministers each and every darn day, brother! There are thousands of us praying for your brothers in arms around the world! We are behind you! 💙✝️🙏👊🥰👍🫂🤲✝️ Long life to you and yours and a sound arsekicking to the enemy!! SEMPER FIDELIS

After being brought out of darkness and drugs by My Lord, Jesus Christ, I Love My Lord, My God, The Holy Spirit, My Blessed Mother, and All The Saints, Martyrs, and Angels with No Less Than All My Heart and Soul, and I Love you too, Reverend Carlos Martins, and All Servants Of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.......Always, Amen.

My pastor when I was a kid was a Pentecostal pastor. He was often approached by people who had demonic issues. He would say that when people get into occult or live around those people get into trouble at some point. He would educate them and pray. But the person has to also understand their rights over evil in their own lives and make sure they know scriptures to protect their minds.

His podcast, along with what I've been seeing in society, caused me to see the evil in the world. I now go to Mass consistently and pray often.

WOW, how scary, The fan starting etchy & slow like he explained, "No setting that slow,"and then spinning out of control...again there is no setting that fast !! As silly lumps of teenagers myself, Sister & 2 friends had a seance and the cake mixer was left on the bench after we'd made a cake...the exact same thing happened with the beaters on the mixer...inevitably Dad checked the power point as both power point and the mixer were off ! This explains ALOT, looking back BUT it did me a huge favour because God has never left my side, and I can positively say he is still holding my heart, evil had several attempts on my life...but God still prevails !! I love You Lord, I worship You, thankyou 🙏

This was a great discussion. I'm glad to have listened to this podcast. I have great respect for the Catholic Church for offering exorcism because it is needed in society.

I’d like to show appreciation for Father Martins’ podcast. As a cradle Catholic this podcast lit a fire in my spirit and motivated me to join a parish and start adult RCIA. His podcast made spirituality real for me. I’ve learned more about the enemy from his podcast than in my entire 50 years.

What I find most helpful about Fr. Martins ministry is that it reminds me of what we are really up against and all the ways we can be compromised by our own actions. I used to imagine that my sin was just between me and God and of course, ontologically it is, but through him (Father) and his Exorcist Files podcast, I've come to know that there is another one at work against me and when I sin, I open pathways / give a sort of permission for that Enemy to be involved in my life ... I do not want that! So I've become more aware of my sinful tendencies and more vigilant in prayer for Divine help against my weakness ... thanks to Fr. Martins ministry!

My ex loved antiques and crystals, and opening up doors that need to stay closed. He acted like it was all fun and games but I was stressed out by it. A friend gave us a music box she said was haunted. I begged him not to take it home but he brushed me off. It played randomly in his presence sometimes. I’m so glad to be away from him and the spirits he attracted. So much weird stuff happened all the time in our home. I now won’t engage with people who don’t respect my spiritual boundaries. I haven’t had any weird stuff happen since I left him. Jesus was protecting me. I pray for my ex that he can be free. He has a god complex and needs help.

Wow this was so good, and I didn't even intend to listen to it at first. I cried at the part when the demon's said why they were created. It's just sooo sad that they were once beautiful creations of God like us, but they chose a different path and are now suffering. 😢

Outstanding...Thank you for saying YES and becoming a priest forever.

A. Eliminate the Sinful habits Out of your life ..that diminish your Soul's connection to the Holy Spirit B. Confession C. Local Pastoral Support..follow through is 🔑 and daily commitment 👏

I love this priest with my whole heart!!!!!.

Stay in the scriptures, the Word of God. Keep our eyes on Jesus, the blessed and mighty Son of God.

Thankyou for this interview. Growing up as a protestant pentecostal Christian. I have respect for the Catholuc Church and its practice of the active gifts of The Holy Spiit for the cause of exorcisms...The Authority is in the name of Jesus Christt of Nazareth 🙌

Dear Lord Jesus, please bless and protect those God-fearing servants who deliver in your holy name! These priests and ministers, we thank you and pray for you. In Jesus' Name - all victory, power and glory. Amen.

Chilling! Thank you Fr. Carlos Martins and Matt Fradd for this excellent interview. Through the Blessed Virgin Mary Amen

My sister-in-law is from a Catholic family, yet her dad was a Mason. She scoffs at people who think Masonry is a danger. My brother was tapped to join DeMolay and is a Mason today. He never attended our Baptist Church and now I wonder why. I am a convert to the Roman Catholic Church and am aware of some Catholic men who are Masons. My husband's best friend is trying to get him to join now. He has never told him "no" but hasn't joined either. Could someone interview Fr Carlos Martins on the subject of Masonry and the Order of DeMolay and the women's equivalents of the Masons? I would be so glad to learn more about this subject.🙏

I had a nun who brought me into Reiki. The fact that she validated it for me gave it credence.. Thank God he opened my eyes to all of the deception.

Been waiting for this for a while. Fr. Martins is a treasure and The Exorcist Files podcast is one of the greatest things I’ve ever listened to. I just love his experiences and holiness combined with his delivery and accent. God bless Fr. Martins! ❤

I learned so much from this interview, and I am motivated anew to avail myself of the sacraments and pray the Holy Rosary. Thank you, Father, and thank you, Matt.

What a great interview! It was very informative, shocking and amazing. The most impactful to me- which gave me chills and made me acknowledge and bow down to the mysteries of our Creator, was when the demon would eventually tell what he was created for. WOW! How beautiful! I had to pause the video to acknowledge and savor the glory, the might, the majesty, the mystery and the peace of our infinite Creator. It also impacted me deeply when the demon bowed his head down in shame when Father Martins asked if he was created for Saint Joseph’s dowry wedding gift from our Creator. It makes me wonder if there is still hope for demons to polarize to the opposite polarity, if this much shame can still exist in their souls. Thank you for this amazing interview! Blessings

I haven't even started watching this video yet. But I will say this about these exorcist priests, these men are the bravest and have balls of steel!!! To go up against something so diabolical, their faith is unwavering! I admire them immensely! And like they all say, God has they're back! If I saw a fraction of what they have seen I would tuck tail and run! Jesus is My Rock Star!

God blessed Fr Carlos to send these messages to us. I am a devout Catholic but Fr’s interviews in YT have given me a lot to appreciate our Catholic faith and how God love us all and how we could really express our love and praise to God. It’s through total obedience, trust and love! 🙏🙏🙏

❤ Thank you for expressing your heart ❤ and encouraging us in the right direction! God bless you & your family!

My life has been a trial of the deepest beauty and deep sorrow. I'm coming out of 20 years of trial. I can't imagine the pain if not for God our father, Jesus who willingly carried my sin, and the spirit I feel around me all the time. I am so thankful My heart hurts but I am thankful

An amazing interview. Especially the information on how evil enters through our wounds. It is constructive and beneficial to have an understanding of this. Thank you Sirs.

God bless Fr. Martins. He brought the relics to my city, I think twice. I went both times. It was amazing. He also blessed my rosary. I'm a convert of 24 years. I am fairly sure my family has a generational curse. My grandfather on my mother's side is 1/2 American Indian. I know they mess with unclean spiritual things. I do pray for my whole family every night before bed. JMJ

Such an incredible interview. Thanks to you both!

I must’ve watched this 10 times, it soothes me hearing his voice and the strength of his faith. ❤

Fr Martins has such concern and love for those afflicted - such an inspiration . His podcast is top-notch. I am listening to this interview little by little as a reward for chores :)

Yay Fr Carlos Martin is the former chaplain at Catholic Chaplaincy at York. So happy to see him on pints with Aquinas!!!

Best interview i have seen and heard so far.

Excellent interview and worthy cautions for us priests as well. Thank you.

It will be great if Matt can invite two or three Exorcists simultaneously in his show. Some exchange of opinions between those heroes who battled the demons on regular basis might be interesting.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:07 🎵 Music box manifestation: Slow spin escalates to high speed, objects move, eerie chimes - indicative of demonic presence. 02:00 🎒 Fr. Martins explains his entry into exorcism, starting as a deacon, involvement in cases through a parish ministry. 03:37 👹 First exorcism experience in a demonized house: Uncovers demonic activity, legal authority, and spiritual warfare. 08:12 💧 Use of holy water, invoking God's presence, and reclaiming rights as key tools in exorcism. 14:45 🎥 Filming exorcism encounters not helpful due to skepticism and invasions of privacy. 22:37 🌟 Exorcist shares insights on diabolical phenomena and his experiences. 23:18 🧙‍♂️ Many cases of alleged diabolical phenomena are not necessarily helpable due to people's lack of readiness to give up their connections with evil. 23:30 🧐 Example of a woman with diabolical abilities - could reveal private negative information about people, a result of a deal with the devil. 25:08 🏠 Woman experiences diabolical attacks at home, including health issues, strange noises, and sleep disturbances. 26:15 🛡️ Dialogue with the possessed involves assessing their relationship with God and willingness to change. 29:00 🌟 Possession often stems from engaging in the occult or sexual sin, both of which undermine God's natural order. 34:07 🤖 Evaluation is crucial to differentiate between mental illness and genuine diabolical influence, considering both psychological and spiritual aspects. 35:02 🔮 Detecting evil manifestations involves observing behavior changes, agitation, and signs like physical transformation or unnatural reactions. 36:39 🙏 Praying against evil forces can elicit visible responses, aiding in diagnosing demonic presence. 39:01 🧛‍♂️ Manifestations like unnatural behavior and appearance confirm the presence of the demonic. 44:45 🙌 Exorcism aims to assert God's authority over darkness, with the exorcist as an agent of Christ's kingdom. 49:35 🧐 Exorcists may face spiritual attacks, but the intensity varies. Some cases involve severe physical and psychological assaults by demons. 50:17 🚗 Fr. Martins recounts a day of intense spiritual attack, including radio malfunction, fogged windshield, and projector failures. 53:07 🤝 Fr. Martins collaborates with fellow priests in exorcism sessions, often asking for help in particularly heavy cases. 54:17 💥 Fr. Martins shares an experience of being physically attacked during an exorcism, resulting in skull fractures and surgeries. 57:06 🌊 Baptism initiates a person into the Church and changes their ownership from the devil to God. Mortal sin reverses this state, requiring confession to restore it. 58:03 🙌 The power of the Theotokos (Mother of God) is recognized in combating demonic forces, and she is highly revered in exorcism. 01:06:17 🔮 The decline in traditional Christian practices has led to an increase in aberrant spiritual practices, contributing to spiritual turmoil. 01:10:54 🛠️ Healing and redemption for those with past trauma involves providing support, job opportunities, and a sense of belonging in a church community. 01:11:33 💔 Demons enter through wounds caused by trauma and sin, distorting perceptions of reality and belief systems. 01:16:10 🧬 Generational sin exists and can be addressed through renunciation and prayers to break negative patterns passed down through family lines. 01:21:06 🌀 Transferred sin curses, hexes, and spells can affect individuals and require identifying the source and renouncing it to break its influence. 01:23:28 👻 Demons manipulate from within a person, gaining control over their body and actions to fulfill their own will. 01:26:13 🌐 Not everyone with issues is possessed; possession is rare and requires evidence of demonic influence beyond normal struggles. 01:26:54 🐍 Demons can manifest as animals to create fear and mock the dignity of the possessed individual. 01:31:04 💬 Avoid seeking knowledge from demons, as they are manipulators and anything they say could be a lie or lead to occult practices. 01:31:59 🧮 Demons are master manipulators and can change their behaviors and characteristics between different cases, making generalizations or databases unreliable. 01:33:20 🕊️ Fr. Carlos Martins discusses possession and behavior characteristics. 01:34:15 🕊️ Examples of possession signs: extreme religious attachment, aversion to religious things. 01:35:13 😔 Saint Ignatius Loyola's example of misguided extreme religious behavior. 01:36:24 🛡️ Only deputed priests can perform exorcisms using the ritual. 01:37:49 🧙‍♂️ Caution against treating exorcism as a magical ritual in movies. 01:38:46 🙏 Personal prayer as an alternative to the ritual, effective in some cases. 01:39:55 👪 Laypersons can pray for others' liberation, especially family members. 01:41:23 🚫 Avoid casting out demons from non-believers without authority. 01:42:27 😱 Danger of inexperienced actions leading to infestation. 01:44:30 💪 Importance of witnesses, intercessors, and medical professionals in exorcisms. 01:45:32 🙋 Intercessors, diverse genders, and professionals present for exorcisms. 01:59:35 🎙️ Fr. Carlos Martins uses a unique approach to engage non-religious 18 to 29-year-olds by sharing his experiences in a 3D binaural format podcast to make spiritual and moral lessons relatable. 02:00:31 🎧 Fr. Martins' podcast, "The Exorcist Files," has achieved over 3 million downloads, effectively reaching its target audience and addressing spiritual needs. 02:03:00 🎭 Fr. Martins' podcast aims to convey spiritual and moral lessons, using moments of fright to emphasize hope and joy in Christ's victory. 02:11:03 👼 Guardian angels play a crucial role in protection and guidance, and cultivating a relationship with them can offer increased spiritual defense and guidance. 02:14:26 🛐 Fr. Martins recalls using the intercession of Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael in exorcisms to aid in combatting and restraining demons. 02:18:30 🔮 In exorcisms, Fr. Martins asks demons questions to weaken their resistance, like their name, purpose, and heavenly nemesis, revealing their once-good intentions before their fall. 02:21:12 🎬 Exorcism Power: Demons react drastically to certain actions during exorcisms, such as singing Christmas carols or using specific objects, indicating their vulnerability to spiritual practices. 02:22:35 🗣️ Unique Revelation: A specific demon revealed that it was created to be part of Our Lady's dowry, intended as a gift to Joseph at the betrothal, but rejected its purpose. 02:24:00 🙏 Saint Joseph's Relic: A demon failed to report for duty as part of Saint Joseph's mission, which was supposed to usher in a new era of peace, connecting it to Saint Joseph's unrecovered body. 02:24:27 📜 Church Tradition: The belief in Saint Joseph's incorrupt body and his relic being in the possession of the Blessed Mother and later Saint John the Apostle, influencing the Church's mystical tradition. 02:25:34 🧐 Curiosity About Demonic Topics: Many viewers ask questions related to demons, possession, and exorcism, expressing intrigue and seeking understanding. 02:26:03 💡 Demonic Manipulation: Demons can manipulate physical objects despite lacking a physical nature, attributed to their existence in a spiritual realm distinct from the material world. 02:27:25 🏠 Spiritual Authority: If one belongs to God, they can command demons to leave their homes; if belonging to evil, the demons have a claim and cannot be evicted by the person's words. 02:28:08 🔒 Spiritual Bond: Sexual sins create spiritual bonds between individuals, causing lingering connections and shared temptations due to the profound unity experienced during the act. 02:29:17 🤝 Temptation vs. Possession: Ordinary demonic activity through temptation is more common and dangerous than possession, as it can lead individuals towards sin and damnation. 02:30:27 📖 Spiritual Resources: Engaging in prayer, devotion, and receiving the sacraments like the Eucharist can help individuals battle sexual immorality and temptation. 02:43:44 🤔 Exorcist highlights the complexity of judging situations from a distance, emphasizing the need for perspective. 02:44:11 ✝️ Fr.

We recently attended mass and veneration of St. Jude's relic at Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine in La Crosse, WI the other week and Fr. Martins gave a particularly thoughtful, engaging homily on this once ignored apostle, St. Jude Thadeus, who became one of the church's most popular saints after his bones were located 300 years ago. My husband is a practicing Buddhist who came with me, and he found Fr.'s homily extremely touching. He even kneeled and venerated the relic with me (which in itself is a miracle). Thank you Fr. Martins for all your spiritual labors. They are so needed in these times.

this podcast felt like 20 minutes. this interview was great

"I was created..." about demons was one of the most insightful things for me! "I was created to be part of the throng that proclaimed 'Glory to God in the Highest' above the shephard's field." That's amazing to think about

I appreciate the fleshed out answer on unbaptized infants. It's aggravating how flippant people can be, saying either "They're saved, don't worry" or "We don't know, sorry".

Beautiful, thank you both and may God bless us all!
