The Exorcist Files

Ryan Bethea, Fr. Carlos Martins

For the last several years, the Catholic Church has noted an alarming increase in the number of exorcisms performed. And for some of the most disturbing and vicious cases of possession, one priest is often summoned. With almost two decades in ministry, renowned priest Father Carlos Martins has encountered evil in nearly every way imaginable. From Ouija boards and curses to witches and demonic pacts, Father Martins has battled the ancient serpent in many forms. The Exorcist Files are his stories.

    The Mason's Oath with Fr. Martins

    Adelaide never joined a lodge. She never took an oath. Her ancestor did — and something attached to that oath found her. In this rewind episode, Father Carlos Martins and Ryan Bethea open the case file on a woman whose affliction traced directly to ancestral Freemasonry. Father Martins walks through what the Masonic initiation oath actually says, explains why those words can effects across generations, and describes what liberation looked like for Adelaide — and why it only took two sessions.

    The Subtle Attack Of The Enemy Most Christians Miss (Ft. Fr. Carlos Martins & Dan Burke)

    What if the most dangerous move the enemy makes against you doesn't feel like an attack at all? Dan Burke — author, speaker, trainer of clergy, and former president of EWTN News sits down with Ryan Bethea and Father Martins to break down one of the most overlooked concepts in spiritual warfare: false peace. Dan draws on the discernment tradition of Saint Ignatius of Loyola to show how the enemy offers counterfeit comfort at two very different stages of the Christian life. For those struggling with habitual sin, he manufactures apparent pleasure that mimics peace. For those genuinely advancing in holiness, he engineers distractions that look like blessings- good things in the wrong priority.

    Christ's Invasion of Hell

    Almost two billion Christians recite the Apostles Creed which states "He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. And one more thing... he descended to hell. In this powerful reflection Father Martins reminds us how brilliant and all encompassing Jesus' victory on the cross was. Hell despite it's best efforts became a pawn in God's scheme and now that which is meant for evil, God uses for good.
