art bell
As you know, Father Martin, if you recall, I made a pilgrimage and went to the Vatican.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
And I went to the Sistine Chapel, and I did all the things that one does.
And by the way, Father, it was very interesting.
When we arrived at the Vatican, there was a massive, massive crowd there.
And we were kind of looking around saying, wow, look at all the people.
What in the world is going on?
And somebody turned around and said, you mean you don't know?
The Pope's going to be here in five minutes.
And so we got to watch and listen to the Pope, which I thought was quite a treat.
That was just very lucky.
father malachi martin
That was just lucky, if you want to call that luck, yes.
art bell
True.
unidentified
Good point.
art bell
Then we went to the Sistine Chapel.
And though we did not get an opportunity to go to the labyrinth beneath the Vatican, Father, I must tell you, the Sistine Chapel is in itself something of a labyrinth.
father malachi martin
Oh, it is, Pastor.
I have lain on my back looking at the ceiling for hours, after hours, when I could do that, just looking at the ceiling.
art bell
I fully understand.
I fully understand.
You come out of there, out of this long labyrinth, with a crook in your neck because you've been looking up all the way.
That's right.
But here's what was really unusual, Father.
My wife is a Catholic, as you know, Ramona.
And as soon as we walked into the Sistine Chapel, the first thing we saw was this gigantic globe.
And you know what was on the globe?
It had all 12 signs of the zodiac.
I couldn't believe it.
unidentified
I couldn't believe it.
art bell
I was so amazed that I had Ramona stand there and point to her birth sign on the globe, and I took a photograph and put it up on the website.
father malachi martin
It's up there right now.
art bell
And I was going to come home and ask you, what in the world is something astrological doing in the Vatican?
father malachi martin
Well, actually, it's a historical fact that several popes, over several centuries, always kept an astrologer.
art bell
Really?
father malachi martin
Oh, yes.
And the astrologer was noted for his Catholicism.
He was always a man.
And they consulted him about the affairs of state, whether it was advisable to do this, to that, or the other, for hundreds of years.
art bell
Now, somehow I'm a little lost here, Father, because I always thought that the only person a Pope would consult with would be God in prayer, and that the influence of the planets wouldn't enter into it.
Well, not with consulting.
father malachi martin
I know.
Strictly speaking, one would expect that, but they considered it one way in which God would advise them to do things.
A wise Catholic astrologer would be studying the movement of the planets and would see in the conjunction or the separation or the rearrangement of the planets an indication of favorableness for this move or that move on the part of the Holy Father.
art bell
No kidding.
Do you know that tonight, as we speak, eight planets are in alignment?
father malachi martin
Yes, I was told that.
I haven't got out to look at them because I really have something else to do, much less present in watching the planets because I'm terribly interested in the stars.
But I would love to see them.
art bell
That is absolutely remarkable.
Now, what is the modern church's attitude with regard to astrology?
father malachi martin
It depends on the modern churchman.
Certainly the present Holy Father does not consult, has not God and does not consult astrologers.
There is nothing inherently against Catholic teaching or Catholic faith in astrology provided that you see it all beneath the hand of God.
Because again, the Catholic doctrine is that God can manifest his will and tell you what to do in your life through various material happenings.
And one of them is the arrangement of the planet.
So it's nothing against faith.
What would be against faith is one placed all one's trust in that and relied on that to be the deciding factor about life and death.
And that's forbidden.
art bell
That nevertheless seems to be a very liberal interpretation.
father malachi martin
Yes, it is.
art bell
Particularly for popes of many years ago.
father malachi martin
I know, for hundreds of years, Art.
Hundreds of years, literally.
Certainly, you could say that between, say, as Ecclesiastes, 1200 and, say, middle of the 1600s, it was very common.
Very common.
art bell
Well, then, I think the church is to be applauded for not erasing history that perhaps today it would not rather recall.
father malachi martin
That's right.
That's right.
And actually, they don't emphasize it nowadays at all.
And besides, you see, nowadays, astrology has become the purview of people who don't believe in God, at least according to the Catholic faith anyway.
So they emphasize it less.
And then there have been abuses of astrology, of course.
There are stories and novels and books and real factual histories about people who consulted the stars and therefore decided to go and assassinate somebody or to steal something.
Sure.
So that's where it goes over the edge.
But as a means of knowing God's will, no, some popes wouldn't travel without their astrologer.
art bell
Ah, that's really, that's really it.
You cannot travel without them.
All right.
father malachi martin
Sympathizing hot.
No doubt about that.
art bell
Indeed.
And then there were a couple of other things that struck me and will be with me for all of the rest of my life.
I think, no, I believe in God, Father, but I am skeptical about things that I can't touch and prove.
I can't help it.
However, while I was there, I also got to go to Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
Yeah, and I saw the exact place where Christ was born and where the final crucifixion took place.
And I must tell you that, along with my experience in North Africa, there are almost not words to describe the difference between talking about it, hearing about it all your life in Sunday school, early in Sunday school, but then suddenly being there and being in that spot, and you know that you are, you really, really know, and I can't even convey in words.
father malachi martin
I know you can't, and nobody can, Art, and I know exactly what you're talking about.
There's no way you can tell it, but there's something in that place, in those places.
art bell
Oh, boy.
Is there ever?
father malachi martin
And you know, Art, look at it in a broad level for the moment.
Take even a broader view of it.
If you go and visit the battlefield of Waterloo in Belgium, or the Alamo in Texas, something grips you there.
art bell
Some of the same sort of feeling, but not nearly as strong.
father malachi martin
Oh, no, it's not nearly as awesome.
Awesome as the word.
It's awesome.
art bell
I guess that's the best word you can come up with, but I really haven't found words to convey to my audience, and I really have tried.
father malachi martin
Yeah, I'm sure you have.
art bell
So it was an amazing.
father malachi martin
You couldn't do it.
It means it's rather difficult because you are a master of words.
art bell
There really are some things that words, there are not words for.
father malachi martin
That's right.
They go beyond.
The feelings are too deep, and the experience is too real.
art bell
A human word.
It's like it drives something right through you.
I'm going to leave it that because I really can't explain it.
So, anyway, that was incredible.
father malachi martin
I'm so glad.
I'm so glad you saw those places.
art bell
Then after I called you the other day, Father, and found out happily you were not dead, the next night, I think it was Sunday.
Yes, Sunday.
On 60 Minutes, lo and behold, they put a picture of your book, Hostage to the Devil, on the screen in connection with a story they ran.
father malachi martin
That's right.
And Dr. Olson.
art bell
And Dr. Olson.
Now, I think I had given you the first news of that, and I'll bet lots of other people have talked to you about it since.
father malachi martin
Since, but you were the first.
You were the first to tell me about it.
And my eyes popped out of the place when I saw it.
art bell
All right, to give everybody some sort of background, this is with regard to a 16-minute story about a lady with multiple personality disorder, a Wisconsin woman, who went to a doctor, and the doctor said she had 126 different personalities, distinct and different personalities, over many years.
He treated her, Dr. Kenneth Olson, and the allegation is that he hypnotized her and that he actually put these personalities into her, including the bride of Satan, teenage boys, you name it.
She had it.
It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance money.
Hypnosis again and again and again over years and years and years, and then finally culminating in this psychiatrist performing an exorcism.
father malachi martin
I know, I know.
art bell
They said, based on your book, A Hostage to the Devil.
father malachi martin
Right, using the formula put in the back of that book.
art bell
And, by the way, he thought, I guess, that it was a success, that it had successfully exorcised her.
And so there's a lot of legal battling and lawsuits pending and so forth and so on over all of this.
But I thought I would try and get your reaction to that.
father malachi martin
Well, I'll tell you my reaction, Art, is this.
And don't be very surprised at this.
My reaction is great fear for the safety of Dr. Olson.
I'll tell you why.
The essence of exorcism, performing an exorcism, is a plush between the exorcist and the demon allegedly possessing somebody who is to be exorcised.
And it's not simply a prayer and it's not simply a blessing.
It is an actual conversation.
art bell
Like a battle.
father malachi martin
And you can only do that, according to the theory, the belief.
You can only do that with immunity because you're facing, allegedly, according to faith, you're facing an archangel, albeit a fallen archangel, called Lucifer.
And that archangel has an intellect and resources far beyond anything any human being commands.
And in order to tussle with it, entangle with it, or him, or it or however we want to call it, because he has no gender, in order to do that, you have to have the authority to say, what is your name?
Why are you here?
When did it start?
And get out.
And in order to do that, you have to have permission.
And that's why we always counsel people never on their own back to tangle with anything really demonic.
Because if you do, you're going to lose.
And if I could talk, which I can't on account of privileged communication, I could tell very, very scary and awesome stories, frightening stories about psychiatrists who did try and exorcise without any authority and became possessed themselves.
unidentified
Oh, really?
father malachi martin
Yeah.
I mean, they tackled an enemy far stronger than they with no immunity, no authority.
art bell
Well, remember in past shows, Father, people have called and said, I have done exorcisms, lay people.
father malachi martin
Yeah.
art bell
And you have said, yes, it is possible.
father malachi martin
It is possible.
art bell
But apparently very dangerous.
father malachi martin
It's very dangerous, and I don't know with what authority they did it.
I do know one Lutheran pastor who has authority from his church and successfully exorcises.
It is a very rare thing.
You see, the only proof is that the person in question is completely healed, completely healed.
And art, let me tell you, there is no healing more peaceful, more lovely, more joyous, more confident, more human than the healing of somebody by exorcism.
It is so beautiful.
It's like a sunrise and a calm upland meadow after a devastating hurricane.
art bell
Well, the people who would defend the doctor, I'm sure, would say that he did this as a final resort.
father malachi martin
Oh, yes, I'm sure.
art bell
However, his detractors would say he's the one who put the 126 different personalities into her in the first place.
father malachi martin
The reality is something else.
And as you know, Arthur, you're a very well-read man and studied man in this matter.
The whole theory of NPDs, multiple personality disorder, is very much, for the psychiatric community, very much up in the air.
art bell
Oh, very much.
Yes, the suggestion being that under hypnosis, these are induced by the psychiatrist.
father malachi martin
That's right.
And we do know nowadays, especially since the end of the Second World War and the transport of Hitler's mind control experts to this country, we do know now that programming can be very deep and very effective and can really achieve what, remember that book, The Manchurian Canon?
art bell
Of course.
father malachi martin
It can achieve that, and we do use it.
art bell
All right, Father, stand by.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
And when we come back, I'm going to ask Father Malatai, as some TV show says on CNN, the big question with regard to MBT, whether it relates in some way to exorcisms, and how you really know the difference between a personality instilled under hypnosis and the real McCoy.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
Father, I want to ask you what they call the big question here that I've worked up.
How do you know?
Father, I take it you have probably done more exorcisms than anybody else in this country.
father malachi martin
Is that I don't know.
I feel I don't because it's a very compartmented trade, if I can pull that.
art bell
Trade.
father malachi martin
Very compartmented profession.
You don't communicate.
I've just come across a marvelous exorcist who's been functioning in a certain area of the Midwest, and I never knew he existed.
It's just we didn't overlap.
art bell
Understood.
father malachi martin
We never overlap.
art bell
So it's not talked about a lot, really?
father malachi martin
No, it's not.
You don't communicate very much because laws of privacy govern everything in this matter because nobody who has genuinely been possessed and genuinely been cured ever wants anybody to know about it.
art bell
Okay, well, that's really where my question goes.
Now, apparently the allegation is this woman had these personalities inserted into her through hypnosis.
How do you delineate, how do you know that some of the people that you have not performed exorcisms on are not people who have been victims of this induced MPD?
father malachi martin
It's one of the things we have been alerted to from the mid-70s up because we came across very accurate information about the programmers that do exist, that did exist then and do exist today.
And we formed criteria, principles by which to judge that.
And it's not a simple matter, but it can be done.
And more than once, I have dismissed people who applied for exorcism, saying, no, no, no, there's no exorcism here at all.
Who is your psychiatrist?
Or who is your psychologist?
Or who is your whatever, your guru, your channel, or whatever it was.
art bell
One would presume that usually prior to coming to somebody like yourself, people would have been to a psychiatrist or two or three.
father malachi martin
Usually they come to a psychiatrist, actually.
A psychiatrist would watch you and say, dear Father Martin, dear Dr. Martin, look, I have a patient, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he or she is the etiology of it all.
Would you have a talk with them?
art bell
Without discussing specific cases, Father, how many times have you begun to investigate a possible exorcism and then rejected it?
father malachi martin
Seven out of ten cases.
art bell
Seven out of ten.
unidentified
Yep.
father malachi martin
Because, you see, ask us also the question of disease.
Some people, for instance, with latourette syndrome, it used to be confused with possession.
unidentified
Yes.
father malachi martin
And latorette syndrome just has a lot of the behaviorisms of possessed people, but it's not possession.
And then there's control choria.
And then there are forms of schizophrenia, phases of schizophrenia.
There are schizophrenia, but not possession.
And then, by the way, there are forms of possession, they're very like schizophrenia, and the demon hides behind the schizophrenic manifestations.
art bell
That's even worse.
father malachi martin
Yeah, it is.
There's a double family there.
So you've got to undo all that.
And you can only undo all that if you have authority.
You can't just do it because you say, well, okay, now tell me, what's the truth?
Are you there or not?
It's nothing like that.
It's a farm horse.
Yes, yes, the tests are the.
If you want to start at the beginning, first of all, you ensure that there's nothing physical, that there isn't a tumor in the brain, there isn't transgenerational insanity, there isn't alcoholism, there isn't a drug addiction.
You must assure yourself of all those things.
And if there is, is it masking something else?
Or is it simply that alone?
First of all, you must check them physically.
They must be checked physically.
Because there are all those physical manifestations out.
And then, having done that, you check them psychologically.
Not by psychoanalysis exactly, but competent psychologists must examine them, talk to them, examine them anyway, even if they can't talk to them.
Sometimes they refuse to talk.
And they must make up their minds if it's some form of psychosis or neurosis or something psychological or something that's indefinable and that has no explanation in the diagnostic manual for psychiatry.
In that case, then, the attitude is, okay, let's try exorcism.
And then you start off formally into exorcism.
And that means then talking to the person in question or to people who know them, it's a child or a young person or a husband or a wife, etc.
People who know them and finding out how they've lived and when it started and what happened and what distresses people, why have they come to you?
What has the psychiatrist said?
If they come through a psychiatrist, usually the psychiatrist will tell you what he or she has found out about them and say, this is the baffling thing about it and this is why I would turn to you on a religious plane rather than on a psycho-analytic plane or psychological plane or psychiatric plane.
And therefore you eliminate possibilities of disease, physical disease, and you eliminate the possibility of hoax and you eliminate the possibility of something to do with insanity or psychological irregularity of some kind or other.
art bell
Okay, but once all of that is gone, then you make an appointment, start your exorcism.
father malachi martin
And actually, once you start into something like that formally, having arranged everything in the usual way, and I can describe that in a few sentences to you, within 10 minutes or 20 minutes, you know if you're dealing with the session.
art bell
That quick.
father malachi martin
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you see, the power of an exorcist, if he has authority, the power of the exorcist is such that it evokes a response.
It evokes a response.
art bell
And the battle begins.
father malachi martin
A battle begins.
If he is skillful, he can be fooled.
He can be deceived.
art bell
Have you been?
father malachi martin
No, no, but I've assisted an exorcism when I was younger, where the person was baffled and deceived and outwitted.
Outwith it.
And I knew it, but I wasn't in charge.
And you don't interfere.
art bell
Outwitted.
father malachi martin
Outwitted.
art bell
Interesting term.
In other words, the strength of your faith alone, even if you have absolute faith, might not be enough.
You could still be outwitted.
father malachi martin
That's exactly it, Art.
You've got it.
That's exactly it.
You can be outwitted by a cleverer mind and a quicker intellect and a more resourceful intellect and above a much more ruthless intellect, which also is probably acquainted with you, the exorcist, to a certain extent, but therefore knows your weaknesses and knows what to tap to evoke false judgment.
art bell
That's really quite remarkable to consider because I suppose a purist would suggest that an absolute rock-solid faith would be sufficient or should be sufficient with God's power behind you.
But actually, there are other aspects, including wit.
In other words, that you not be fooled by somebody brighter than yourself.
father malachi martin
That's right, intelligence.
Intelligence.
Nothing can beat intelligence when it gets down to brass tags of a fight like this, because it's a real struggle.
And you see, we humans as such, we are inclined to not fight exactly, but we're inclined to be very fascinated by some intellectual problem.
And we can be lulled into accepting a situation where we fall under the influence of a superior intellect because usually, not always, but usually the demon has a superior mind compared to ours.
Usually.
Usually.
art bell
Well, that really must make you think several times as you go into an exorcism.
It does.
It is possible, and it's happened, hasn't it, Father, that exorcists have gone in and haven't come out.
They've died.
father malachi martin
That's right.
They've come out of it and died.
Or they haven't come out of it and they've died.
Or they've come out of it possessed.
And possessed in a very, very pathetic way.
I mean, worn out, useless.
art bell
What generally is when that occurs, what does the church do?
father malachi martin
Well, once upon a time when churchmen, bishops in other words, and the prelates of the church, when they really were in charge of this, because nowadays they're not, a lot of them don't believe in this or when they had a regular system and a method of taking care of this aspect of life,
they generally gave them very easy jobs as parish priests or in institutes to make it easy because these men, there's no doubt about it, that they lost their lives.
art bell
So the church took care of them for the rest of their lives.
father malachi martin
Yes it did.
It was very mild and compassionate with them and today?
Today, well, today, first of all, there are far fewer exorcists than ever before.
In a lot of dioceses, for instance in Detroit, in the diocese of Detroit, there is no formal exorcist at all.
So if you want to have an exorcism in that area, you have to go to the cardinal, it's the cardinal in charge, and say, listen, Bishop so-and-so of such and such a diocese has an exorcist.
May he come in and do it, because he can't do it in somebody else's diocese unless he has authority and permission.
And it becomes very awkward then.
Sometimes the bishop says no.
Sometimes the bishop says yes.
Sometimes the answer is very peculiar.
Sometimes a bishop who's not respected very much for his Catholicity is quite willing to experiment.
So it's very funny.
You never know what's going to happen.
art bell
So it could be in this day and age, Father, that a priest who would perform an exorcism and would come out of it basically a vegetable would not be taken care of by the church.
father malachi martin
No, would not be taken care of.
His family takes care of him or he goes to a home.
Or I know one or two who ends up in state farms.
It's a grim affair.
It's a grim affair nowadays.
art bell
All right, I've got something I need to ask you about.
father malachi martin
What's that?
art bell
I do a lot of different things on the air, sometimes foolish things.
father malachi martin
I doubt that.
art bell
Oh, I do.
No, I do.
I do.
I do.
And I wanted to talk to a witch.
A broom riding.
I said a broom riding.
father malachi martin
A broom riding witch.
art bell
Yeah, you know, the real McCoy, real witch.
And so I went on a witch hunt.
And I found this young lady who calls herself Harlot.
And I interviewed this young lady.
And turns out she called herself a witch, father, but what she really was, was a Satanist.
I interviewed her over a period of, well, I don't know, about four hours or so.
And trust me, she was the real McCoy.
She scared me to death.
father malachi martin
Scared me out of you.
art bell
Full of hail Satans and all that kind of thing, extremely serious.
At first, I thought she wasn't serious, but trust me, she was.
She was married to a man who killed her daughter.
Now, she knew that this was coming.
And toward the end of this interview, this four-hour interview, I was mind-blown.
And I said, you know, has it occurred to you that you obviously willingly are going to go to hell?
And she said, yes, I know.
I accept that.
I look forward to that.
I said, but your daughter, your innocent young daughter, who was murdered by your ex-husband, what about her?
She won't be with you.
And you know what she said?
She said, no, you're wrong.
Because I knew it was coming.
And before she was killed, I took steps to ensure she would be in hell with me.
And that stopped me cold.
father malachi martin
What age was the daughter when she was killed?
art bell
I can't remember.
I was like three or four.
Young.
unidentified
Yeah.
father malachi martin
Well, the terrible thing about it is, A, a general remark, that children, through their parents, can be made belong to a demon.
art bell
They can.
father malachi martin
Through their parents.
Through their parents.
art bell
How can that be, Father?
In a world that I guess I don't properly understand.
father malachi martin
Yeah, it's difficult to express it.
But we have cases.
We have frightening cases of it.
And by the way, we have also got cases where their parents, Satanist worshippers, Luciferians really, and generational Luciferians, that is, the ran and the family, they tried to do the same to their children and failed.
Some children accepted it, some didn't.
art bell
Well, that would imply an age of understanding.
father malachi martin
Yes, it's extraordinary the understanding they have, though art.
It's frightening at the age of three and a half, four.
It's astounding in certain cases.
In other cases, no, they're dull.
They're like little children, which they are, and there's no harm done.
But there are cases, and...
Actually, when you think of it, there have been cases in history where children of an age, attend to ages, we say three and four, turned out to be very willful.
They're rare cases.
I know that.
They're very rare cases.
But it does happen.
art bell
But even under our laws, a child of three or four could never be charged with held responsible for in any way what that some child at that age would do.
That's right.
So I'm sure you get this kind of question all the time, but how could a merciful God allow this to occur to a child that young?
How could this woman's will make that happen?
father malachi martin
I have no answer to that.
I do know it happens.
I do know that the full consent on the part of the child.
I do know that they have a development of will and mind that frightens you when you come across it.
You know you're in the presence of a tiny body which is as developed as your will, your adult will, although not with the experience.
And it's a very frightening thing.
art bell
Boy, it's a scary world.
You know, I sort of half expected you to say, don't worry, that child is not in hell.
father malachi martin
Well, as to who finally ends up in hell, Art, that is something reserved to God.
We don't know.
And she, the mother, may have thought she made quite sure about it.
She may not have had, because the final decision is not hers.
It's God's.
art bell
Yes, but your answer is she could have done it.
father malachi martin
Oh, yes.
unidentified
Wow.
father malachi martin
Yes.
art bell
All right.
Father Malachi Martin is my guest.
Hold on, Father.
You've got a good break here.
And we'll be back after the top of the hour.
You know, I guess that's the answer I didn't want to hear.
That was quite an interview.
Anyway, we'll leave it at that, and I'm going to have to take this one over.
Father Malachi Martin will be right back.
This is Coast to Coast A.M. Here once again is Father Malachi Martin.
Father, welcome back.
Thank you.
I've got a really hard question I'm going to ask you, hard for me.
But first I want to ask you, in previous programs you and I have done, we have talked not just about people possessed requiring exorcism, but people in a different category, people that you have called perfectly possessed.
Now, frequently these people are very successful, have a great deal of money and influence and power.
father malachi martin
Usually are.
art bell
Usually, yes.
And there are many of them.
And you said when you walk down the street, you know them when you see them.
father malachi martin
Yes, you always do.
They know you.
art bell
They know you?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
In what manner would you know this person?
Can you put words to it?
father malachi martin
No, it's one thing.
I can't put words to it, but it's the unseen signals.
unidentified
It's...
father malachi martin
It's like you sense that they sense you are both totally alien to each other.
totally alien to each other.
So you definitely...
Sorry, I have to interrupt you.
It's beyond hate even.
It's total alien.
Nothing in common at all.
And it's not a teeth-gripping, shivering thing.
No, it's not.
I don't know if ever in your life, Art, you were in imminent danger of being killed.
Not of dying.
A lot of people have, like myself, with a heart attack, two heart attacks, etc.
That's of dying, but of being killed.
There were only twice, two times in my life, which we can talk about some other time, and not to be a divergent confession too much, when I could have been killed.
Literally.
art bell
Right.
father malachi martin
But then when you are in barbed, when it's certain that unless something happens, you are going to be killed, a strange calm comes over you.
Because then it's sure.
You can't do anything about it.
You can't escape.
You can't get out of it.
And unless something happens, you're going to be killed.
Literally, you're going to die.
You're going to be killed.
And it's a strange calmness.
It's a cold reality.
And it's beyond shivering cold.
It's just that's the feeling you have when you recognize them and they recognize you.
You know it's cold reality and it's beyond hate.
Totally atheist.
art bell
Okay, the perfectly possessed person, if I understood correctly your explanation before, is a person who, in fact, has made a pact with the devil.
father malachi martin
The ultimate.
art bell
To be successful, to get what he wants in the world, whatever reason, maybe even to get a woman.
Who knows for what reason?
He's made a pact with the devil.
father malachi martin
That doesn't make him perfectly possessed.
It just puts him in possession.
Perfect possession is something beyond that evil.
art bell
But I mean, he's utterly satisfied with the ultimate.
father malachi martin
Oh, yeah, completely.
Completely.
art bell
The reason I ask is as follows.
I have been in the radio business for 25, 30 years.
And like many people in radio, for many of the early years, I struggled and about half-starved to death like people do in radio.
I mean, that's the way it is.
father malachi martin
Of course.
art bell
And it's been a passion for me without question.
father malachi martin
Great.
art bell
And like everybody else, or maybe unlike so many others, I have been very fortunate.
And in recent years, my career has just, you know, skyrocketed.
father malachi martin
That's right.
It has.
Thank God.
art bell
Well, yep, thank God.
But I've got to tell you, I don't ever recall any time that I said that I'd give anything, I'd give my soul or anything like that.
I don't recall a time like that.
father malachi martin
I'm sure you didn't.
art bell
But since I've had this much success, there have been some times, particularly I must say, since I heard you describe the perfectly possessed, when I have worried.
Did I do Something mentally?
Did I make some pact that I'm not consciously recalling?
father malachi martin
I worry constantly it's like let me Perfect possession is consequent on a very conscious step, consciously taken step.
It's not something that's implicit to contrast, to make a contrast.
We now get young people, 20-somethings or 30-somethings in age, and they do come and say, look, I made a thank for the devil because I needed this job.
I needed this woman.
I really wanted to marry her and I wanted to get this job abroad and I want to get this loan, etc.
And now I can't get rid of it.
That's something else.
They were simply very stupid and foolish.
And general, they can be helped.
And it's a thing they regret.
Be perfectly possessed through a certain graduation.
It's a gradual thing.
It's not suddenly overnight.
The devil doesn't appear in the morning with a scroll and say, sign this and your fifty years of happiness.
May you come to hell with me.
The Faustian picture, you know.
Mephistopheles.
art bell
Yeah, Hollywood is right and get his play.
father malachi martin
It's not that.
It's a gradual thing where the person slowly but surely seeds, concedes, surrenders their will, every fiber of their will and therefore of their being and acquiesce closely in it and are rewarded by their master and utterly conscious.
There's nothing implicit about it.
There's nothing, it doesn't slid by them.
art bell
You're saying I would know it if that was.
father malachi martin
Oh, yes, you'd know it a mile away.
You'd know it a mile away.
art bell
I think that it is a malady suffered by many people who are successful.
They don't fully understand the nature of their success, and sometimes it seems like there are other forces at work.
One of those, you question your own success, and that's one of the things ever since talking to you that I've been worried about.
father malachi martin
No, actually, you see, there's no doubt about it, that evil, the evil around us, because there is evil around us as well as good, does make inroads in us through pride and vanity and desire and ambition and lust, you know, all those things.
And those make inroads in us, and that does prick our conscience.
There's no doubt about that.
But the total surrender and acceptance of Luciferian being, that that would take place in the perfectly possessed, that is something that cannot be done implicitly or overnight or by accident or piece slipped into your life without you knowing it.
Oh, no.
art bell
I think it's, you struggle.
You know a lot of people who are just hearing this show and me for the first time think, an overnight success.
Well, I'm an overnight success that's been at it for about 30 years.
father malachi martin
Overnight.
art bell
Of overnight.
Nevertheless, though, the real success did come recently in the last couple of years and it has been absolutely astounding.
And I really, really have been worried.
father malachi martin
Well, that is, I mean, look at from my vantage point, looking on the outside in at you, it seems to be the logical progression of a very devoted and intelligent career in radio, and you've reached a culmination.
Now, now, there's this part about it.
Nobody achieves the amount of associates that you have and the name you've got.
Nobody reaches that without a special destiny from Christ.
Because not everybody does it.
And you have a profound influence on millions, millions.
And that means that you, from this point of view, as a radio man, that you are working on universal lines that affect the macro government of people's souls.
And that's the responsibility, it really is.
art bell
I know.
father malachi martin
That for me is the telling point that, sure, somebody can work like a dog, work the little bottom off, as they say, and not get to where you are.
But you got there, and that was because your destiny was that you were to do that, given your talents and given your will and given the opportunities which were given to you.
art bell
Obsession would be a good word.
I'm obsessed with what I do.
I love it.
father malachi martin
Yeah, I know.
Well, obsession, since we're talking in the context of exorcism, obsession is a very professional word with us.
I wouldn't use it about it at all.
I say utterly devoted.
Utterly devoted.
Because obsessed is something else.
art bell
Close to possessed, huh?
unidentified
Yeah.
father malachi martin
Obsessed in that good sense.
Not even the Calvin Fein means obsessed.
art bell
I can make a sort of a joke.
Yes, I could use a joke, sir.
father malachi martin
But no, it's a question of destiny.
If that your destiny before you were born, before you were conceived, before your parents were married, was such that you will achieve this eminence.
And apparently it fits into God's plan.
And I'm not saying that to butter you up and not bury you up at all.
I'm loading on your shoulders, broader though they may be, a responsibility that ain't easy because he will look you straight in the eye, Art, one day, when you pass over, and say, now tell me, Art, how did you really do?
art bell
I worried all the way.
What do you think?
I worried all the way.
You know, you discussed the responsibility.
I worry all the time about the responsibility.
As a matter of fact, I don't think that somebody in my position should have as much influence as I can have.
It worries me all the time.
father malachi martin
I know.
Well, I'm sure all the other eminent men in various fields say the same thing.
And without breaking confidence, you speak about me as having worked with two popes, and I did.
I have worked with very eminent men.
And behind the scenes, the best of them used to shed tears over their weaknesses.
art bell
Really?
father malachi martin
And over their fears.
Yeah.
And then straighten the hump on their shoulders as they say and march ahead.
art bell
That's it, all right.
That's it, all right.
Let me read you this from the UK news.
This just came in today from the United Kingdom news.
It appears that some of those who have passed over to the spirit world are unwilling to be kept from the pleasures of the flesh.
Listen to this.
A blackpool woman called a priest, two psychics, and a Mormon missionary to try to rid her of a ghost that she claimed regularly sexually attacked her.
The attacks began in 1994 when she felt something climbing into bed with her.
She claimed it pulled off the towel she was wearing about her head and said it was going to make love to her.
Then she felt a, quote, vile, end quote, sensation, quote, like tiny needles trying to pierce my skin, end quote.
What does that sound like to you?
father malachi martin
Well, I'll tell you.
Coincidentally, coincidentally, I'm dealing with at least two cases of people, one male, one female, who are assaulted mainly in bed.
And the assault is never pleasant, but it is sexual.
And there's no doubt about it.
There's demonic activity around them, and they've let themselves in for it.
art bell
They let themselves in for it.
father malachi martin
Yes, they did.
They made mistakes, they made errors.
And they have to pay for it.
And they are paying for it, thank God.
And they are doing penance and they're taking good direction.
But they have to liquidate.
And though it may sound funny to you, not funny, but it may sound peculiar to you.
I keep saying to them, look, it's far better that you liquidate here your guilt than that you do it in purgatory.
art bell
How do you liquidate here your guilt?
father malachi martin
By this, that if in this life you get suffering, either physical, physical and mental suffering.
I don't believe there's such a thing as physical suffering without mental suffering.
But anyway, if you do that and you have the grace of God and you offer it up in union, but this is Catholicism, in union with the pains of Jesus, the Savior, who with pains did save us, then you do merit to liquidate the punishment due to your sins.
art bell
Penance, actual suffering, mental and physical.
father malachi martin
That's why when you haven't got pains and aches, I've normally got a very healthy body, so if I want to do penance, I've got to fast.
You know, you have to devise means of not hurting yourself, but depriving yourself of creaturely comforts, which are totally legitimate.
Because there is, Christ himself said, these demons are cast out only by prayer and fasting.
And this is a tradition in Christianity.
And by the way, in Islam too, and in Judaism, but we're talking about Christians, about Catholicism in particular, it is their tradition that by fasting and by doing penance, you do get rid of demonic influence and you do also do penance for your sins.
And there's no doubt about it that if you have a horrible cancer, say a multilocal cancer, in your soul, in your brain, and you suffer the pains of it, you can liquidate whatever guilt is due to sins, even though the sins themselves are forgiven.
There's always some punishment due to it.
That's the doctrine of Catholicism, and it was lost in the Reformation.
art bell
And yet, Father, people come down with these horrible cancers that give them horrible deaths all the time.
And sometimes it seems like the very best people die early, such terrible deaths.
father malachi martin
I know, I know.
I see it every week of my life.
art bell
So then how does that fit in?
father malachi martin
Well, it fits in the sense that each one is different.
Each person is different.
I've never found two patients reacting in the same way.
But it's always a question of how they will take it, as the will of God or as simply an affliction, and they count it as a curse.
And they can, though.
They can count it as a hidden blessing.
art bell
Father, we are once again at the bottom of the RSO.
Just be right.
Oh, boy, it just flies by.
This is coast to coast AM.
Anybody have a sense of humor out there?
unidentified
The devil went down to Georgia.
He was looking for a foe to steal.
He was in a bind, but he was way behind.
He was willing to make a deal.
But he came across this young man throwing on a fiddle and playing it hot.
And the devil jumped up on a hiccup and said, boy, let me tell you what.
I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now, you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due.
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul because I think I'm better too.
The boy said, my name's Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet, you're going to regret, because I'm the best I've ever been.
art bell
Father Malachi Martin is my guest from Manhattan.
And Father, I have interviewed many people who claim to do past life regressions.
I have interviewed many New Age types who claim that they have had near-death experiences, that there is no such thing as hell, that nobody ever goes to hell, and that in all of their regressions and the thousands of regressions they've done, they've never encountered hell.
Well, let me tell you, I've got an article here from the London Telegraph, and I want to read you a little bit about it and ask you about it.
Quoting, terrifying accounts of gravely ill people who claim to have been dragged to the very gates of hell by demons are now to be studied scientifically for the first time by a British psychologist.
The existence of so-called near-death experiences, or NDEs, in which dying people report having mystical sensations before being resuscitated, is now widely accepted by doctors and scientists.
Their cause is unknown, but they typically involve a feeling of deep peace, followed by a sensation of floating up through a tunnel, toward a bright light, and into a beautiful kingdom.
We've all heard that.
Continuing, but now it is becoming clear that for some people, NDEs are far from blissful.
Instead of a feeling of floating upwards, they report being pulled downward toward a pit inhabited by demons.
The experiences of Evelyn Hazel, a London-based art historian as she fought for life against meningitis are typical.
Quote, I had reached a critical stage in the illness and I was hovering between life and death.
I was aware of being involved in an intense and very real struggle for my life.
She told The Telegraph, continuing the quote, a three-legged being, rather like the Isle of Man symbol, was pulling both my legs down to infinite depths.
And I knew without any doubt that if I relaxed and I gave in, I would be dead.
I believe this struggle went on for some considerable time, and eventually I managed to break away from whatever it was, pulling me down.
And so they're doing actual scientific studies now, not on the typical light and light beings and relatives greeting you in tunnels stories, but on people who went the other way.
Hell is a real place?
father malachi martin
Yes, a real place, in the sense that it is a place that it has, every place has a where.
If you say Peru, it's a real place, they say, where is it?
It's got a real location, a real where.
We do not know the exact location of hell.
art bell
Oh, I didn't mean a geographic location, Father.
father malachi martin
No, it has a real, it's a real place.
Yes, it is.
art bell
We don't know the geographic location of heaven either.
father malachi martin
No, we don't.
We don't.
That's a distinct thing.
art bell
But I guess my question is, hell is as real a place as heaven?
father malachi martin
Yes.
As real.
As real.
And so is purgatory.
In between.
It's as real.
Now, it is impossible to deny the fact that so many people have had near-death experiences of both kinds.
It is impossible.
We can't explain it exactly.
But it is there.
It does take place.
And the similarity between the NDEs is amazing.
It does point to some unity caused by one thing, one particular experience that they all have had.
And the demonic also.
art bell
The big difference, Father, is that people who have had an experience like this lady don't talk about it.
They don't talk about it.
Sure, if you go to a place of light and love and you realize that you would be in heaven if you really pass on, fine.
You can talk about that.
But if you've been to hell, you're not really likely to...
Not really.
father malachi martin
Unless you come back.
There have been cases of possession where damned souls do speak.
art bell
Where damned souls speak?
father malachi martin
Yeah, do speak through the demon.
But that's a question.
There are very, very peculiar cases and they're very convoluted cases and they're cases where people made special pacts with the demon.
But they're very rare, but they do come back.
At least they're allowed talk, communicate, I should say.
It's all very mysterious, and you stay away from it as much as possible as an ecosystem.
But it does come through at times, and it's a very disturbing experience, and it never leaves you.
art bell
Well, I would imagine a lot of priests have, even themselves, in their lives, moments of doubt, moments of doubt about their own.
father malachi martin
You're absolutely correct.
art bell
I would think, though, that doing what you have done, doing exorcisms, must enforce your own faith in a way that the average priest will never have enforced.
father malachi martin
That's right.
That's right.
It does.
It does.
There's no guarantee that you're going to succeed completely and persevere and go to heaven.
But there's no doubt about it.
It does reinforce it because you're up against it.
You're up against the ultimate in evil.
And the central experience for any exorcist who has done exorcisms, even one exorcism, but anyway, exorcisms in general, is this.
It is that memory burnt into you of total malice.
Total malice.
And it's very hard for the normal, even hardened criminals, they love somebody, their child, or their woman or their mother or their country.
But to come across a mind which is total malice, nothing but malice is something appalling.
As I say, what it does to you is it freezes you.
art bell
I'm sure it does.
father malachi martin
It freezes.
And that is something which does make you immediately think of God's beauty and God's compassion and God's love and of nice soft things and of eternal peace and compassion and holiness and goodness.
It certainly confirms all that.
It sends your soul into a wild dance towards God.
art bell
Well, I would imagine you've had lots of opportunities to see young priests assist you in exorcisms.
And how do they come out of that generally first time around?
father malachi martin
First time around they come out shaken and they generally they vomit and sometimes they're incontinent.
You can't keep it in them.
It's little that starts with their lives.
You know, we laugh because it's embarrassing.
In fact, the first time I assisted an ecosystem in the United States, I was in bed and was called up by an exorcist who said, Malachi, my assistant, has collapsed.
Please come over and help me out.
He was in the Bronx.
art bell
In the Bronx?
father malachi martin
Yep.
And he had, the young man had collapsed.
It's very unnerving in the beginning.
It's very unnerving.
art bell
This is probably a very frivolous question, but I'm curious.
Having done so many exorcisms, is there any geographic sense to exorcisms in the sense of more, for example, in the large cities?
I mean, there you are in New York City, is the biggest.
Are there more by percentage, do you think, in the big cities than there are in the...
father malachi martin
It's...
art bell
where there are a disproportionate number?
father malachi martin
Disproportionate number, where evil of that kind flourishes.
It's a funny thing.
art bell
Can you name a few?
I mean, we're not going to really harm anybody by naming a few.
father malachi martin
Well, I think, for instance, that there's a plethora of such things in Geneva, Switzerland.
art bell
Geneva?
father malachi martin
Geneva, Switzerland.
art bell
Neutral Geneva?
father malachi martin
Neutral Geneva.
I think that, and I hope that we don't get assaulted for having said this, but it does seem that Louisville, Kentucky, Louisville, has a fair share more than, say, as far as we know, Santa Fe.
And then there are areas in Manhattan where I wouldn't want to live.
And they're not always in Avenue A, B, and C, or in the Bronx, for that matter.
There are areas, there's no doubt about that, because the presence of evil entertained and accepted and wished and blessed and celebrated means that you have diabolic presence, demonic presence.
That's all about it.
art bell
I live right over a mountain from Las Vegas.
Now, Las Vegas is always generally portrayed in the media and elsewhere as the devil's playground.
father malachi martin
Yeah, I think, you know, that's romanticizing it.
I never, I never, in my whole experience, Las Vegas never stood out as a home of the devil's art.
art bell
No kidding.
So in other words, it doesn't even stack up against Louisville.
father malachi martin
No, it doesn't stack up against Louisville.
It doesn't stack up against Chicago.
It doesn't stack up against Vancouver.
art bell
Wait a minute.
Vancouver, you say?
father malachi martin
Yes.
It doesn't stack up at all.
But it's talking now about the incidence of diabolic interference.
It doesn't.
art bell
So there really are...
father malachi martin
I do not know.
I do not know.
And a few years ago, no, it was more than a few, back in the 70s, we tried to create a profile of the possessible person.
Sure.
And the profile of the places.
But we found out that there is no profile.
No, it is purely random.
Neither education, nor sex, nor faith, nor culture, nor riches, nor poorness, poverty or riches, success or failure, black, white or sky, blue, pink, yellow or red or green, whatever the color your skin was.
art bell
So then possession is random.
father malachi martin
It appears to be random.
art bell
It appears to be random.
father malachi martin
Yeah, because, listen, Arthur, like you, I know very naughty people.
I mean, I know people who couldn't stand the glare of publicity on their business methods.
And I know, and I have come across ladies of the night in the street.
I remember once, which I'll never forget, being confronted in New York, which I'll tell you about if you want to.
And I've known a few people from the mafia who certainly, you know, were rough diamonds and were used as soldiers.
But they were just really naughty people.
They weren't possessed.
art bell
Big difference.
father malachi martin
Oh, huge difference.
unidentified
Huge difference.
art bell
Can a prostitute go to heaven?
father malachi martin
Sure.
I remember I was coming home late at night with my brother in the pelting rain.
And we were both drenched already, but we had to walk.
And we met a prostitute.
We were both clerics, by the way.
But we were muffled up with raincoats and hats and muffers, etc.
And my brother, who's now gone to God, said to a woman, don't you not know that you're putting your eternal soul in danger?
Bill was very sententious.
My brother is a good man.
And she pulled up her dress and pulled out a rosary beads and a prayer book out of her stocking and said, Father, look, I say these every day.
I have five little bastards which a priest gave me.
Curse my soul.
Wow.
art bell
Wow, it's right.
father malachi martin
Oh, wow, is raster.
It really is.
art bell
Five little bastards that priests gave me?
father malachi martin
Yes.
unidentified
Yes.
father malachi martin
That's why I'm baking in the streets, Pastor Church.
art bell
A real problem for the church, isn't it?
father malachi martin
It is a real problem.
And inevitably, in a church that enforces celibacy as a rule, you're going to have the difficulties.
And we've had a terrible rush of pedophilia in the dioceses of the USA and in Canada, by God.
And we're not finished yet.
It's still going on.
And the organization of the Roman Catholic Church, my church, has been shaken up and it hasn't settled down to anything regular yet.
It hasn't made up its mind about things.
And a good majority, a small majority, but a good majority of American bishops, would wipe out the whole celibacy thing and allow priests to get married.
art bell
You don't agree with that, do you?
father malachi martin
Well, I'll tell you something, Archie.
And I can only speak from the point of view of experience.
I was a chaplain to the U.S. Air Force in Turkey.
And I remember we used to go to the radar domes back in the good old days of the Cold War that they had winged Russia with in the Black Sea.
And I was always bitten by Air Force officers.
And by the way, it was an 18-beer trip.
We had 18 beers apiece to last out.
But we had talks, and the men would talk to me about anything and everything.
And time and time again they said, Father, look, we would never discuss these matters with you if you were married, like Woody.
Woody was a Protestant chaplain.
He was a very decent fellow.
The intimacy that celibacy allows a priest, because he belongs to nobody except the Krishna.
And he's really faithful to it.
And if he doesn't have a eunuch faith, which I'll explain to you what I mean by that, then he becomes special.
You see, it's a funny thing about celibacy art.
Let me give you one small word on it from a celibate.
That, I mean, either you break your celibacy and it becomes a positive thing, or else you're like somebody who's wearing a charmery belt and somebody's throwing away the key and you're looking for the key.
You know, it's those are eunuchs faith.
art bell
I wish I could say I relate, Father, but I'm the kind of guy who sits and thinks, how can it be heaven without sex?
father malachi martin
Well, actually, you know, I understand you completely, my God.
Marriage is a beautiful thing and love is a beautiful thing.
By the way, the most impressive thing in exorcism, the most disgusting thing, the most chilling thing in exorcism, apart from the malice, is the terrible demonic contempt for human love.
art bell
Yes.
father malachi martin
Oh, God, Arthur, you have no idea what it's like.
I mean, the contempt.
art bell
Well, it would be the greatest enemy, wouldn't it?
father malachi martin
Of course.
But the contempt for human lovemaking and human marriage and human love, the contempt is wounding.
It wounds you when you come across it.
art bell
So there's actually inner possession there is a lot of sexual perversion.
father malachi martin
Of course.
And there's always a basis for it in reality.
And any weakness that the exorcist has in that matter is brought out.
It's like an old scar opened up with a footlash.
art bell
Well, celibacy cannot be an easy thing.
No.
Not for a mortal man.
Not even a celestial.
father malachi martin
No, it's not.
It's not.
And it's, by the way, it's not a sudden thing.
It's a thing developed over a lifetime to make it a joyous thing.
And not that you're a sportsman who runs with a beatific file.
No, it's not that.
It's a different thing.
art bell
Father, Father, we've done it again.
We're at the top of the hour.
We'll be right back.
Take a break.
We'll be right back.
This is coast to coast.
unidentified
A.M. I think I'm there.
art bell
All right, back to Father Melachine Martin.
Father, a couple of quick facts questions, and then we'll go to the phones.
father malachi martin
Yes.
art bell
All right.
Here it is.
While testing for exorcism qualities, has Father Martin ever found a person who was psychic themselves or had powers of telekinesis, the ability to move things physically that was their own power that just looked like demonic abilities or are all psychic powers demonic listen it may sound like a trite remark on my on my part that is a very interesting question and
father malachi martin
The reason is this, that there are three plateaus of reality.
There's a physical reality, which we all know, space, time, the dimension in which we live and move and have our being.
Right, right.
There is the supernatural reality of God.
And there is the middle plateau, whereon the demons exercise their gifts, whereon those with psychic gifts have perceptions that battle the rest of us.
art bell
And where they are able to move.
father malachi martin
And where they are able to move.
art bell
I remember, Major Ed Dames, this remote viewer that I have on from time to time, came on the program with you.
father malachi martin
That's right.
And it's a very dangerous plateau, because it is very fascinating to move on that plateau, and it can involve you with demonic activity, and become fascinating.
Now, people with natural gifts of psychic perception, people that know things from afar, people that know your past life, people that can enjoy telekinesis, can do that sort of thing.
art bell
You just said people who can know your past life.
father malachi martin
That's right.
art bell
I would have thought your position would have been that there are no past lives.
father malachi martin
Well, no, I didn't mean past lives.
I mean what has happened since you, for instance, you're 45.
They would know what happened to you.
art bell
Oh, I see.
father malachi martin
Non-reincarnation.
unidentified
Oh, no, no, no.
art bell
All right.
So there is real psychic power.
father malachi martin
Oh, there is real psychic power.
There's no doubt about that.
It's a very, very frightening thing when you meet it.
I've known young people, young boys and girls with it.
And you have to teach them how not to use it, because it disturbs people very much.
And then besides, it can also lead them onto the middle plateau where they can run into trouble.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Part two of this is a separate question.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
People have predicted the current pope will soon die.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
After which, another pope will take control.
father malachi martin
Yes.
art bell
The new pope has been predicted by some to be a dreaded betrayer of the faith possibly involved in the coming of the Antichrist.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
How does Father Martin view the prophecy of the 111th pope, which would be the next pope?
father malachi martin
Frankly, Art, the older I get, the less I know about it.
I have a feeling in my bones that the miseries of the Roman Catholic organization as an organization, not simply as a spiritual church, but as an organization on the face of the earth,
of that organization are just beginning and that it is heading into a very difficult situation worldwide and that there will be a lot of trouble in Rome itself now as regards the health of the present Holy Father it's very hard to know because he is a Polack, a stubborn man.
art bell
Oh, he is.
father malachi martin
And he keeps on saying, no, despite all these prophecies, because he hears them, all these doom says, I'm going to see the year 2000.
And I'm going to go to Mount Sinai in the year 2000.
And I'm going to go to Ur of the Chaldees, where Abraham started in the year 2000.
I'm going to go to Jerusalem and Bethlehem and Calvary.
art bell
Well, if he's determined, then he may well make it.
father malachi martin
He may well make it.
Always take into account the will of God.
I do not know.
Frankly, in spite of my name, which is biblical, for a prophet, Malachi, I have no cryptocurrency art, so I don't know.
I have a great confidence that God, who so loved the world, he sent his only begotten Son to give us light, and life will take care of us.
But I don't think it's going to be easy.
I think miseries are going to start.
art bell
Father, you predicted that there would be an event in the spring, that there would be an event.
father malachi martin
There could be.
There could be an event if a certain sign took place.
But there was no sign between the end of spring and the end of, the end of winter and the end of spring.
art bell
There are, nevertheless, many, many people, and I'm one of them, who feel something big is imminent.
father malachi martin
Oh, yes.
There's no doubt about that.
There's no doubt about that.
art bell
People of all disciplines, people I interview of all disciplines, and they're all essentially saying the same thing.
father malachi martin
It's a general feeling.
art bell
Yes, there is no doubt about that.
It absolutely is.
father malachi martin
And remember what Freud told us about what the psychiatric associations in Austria were saying in 1938?
He said that the multiplicity of patients coming telling about dreadful dreams about barbed wire and blood, he said it baffled us all why they were talking like that.
there is a general feeling.
I, I, I, Knowing the future doesn't help one's peace of mind out.
And I remember I had the dubious privilege of reading the text of the third speaker of Satana, which I must guard by oath from repeating, but it isn't pleasant.
art bell
I have a whole stack of faxes here asking me to ask you about that.
And you obviously cannot speak of that.
father malachi martin
Not factually, not word for word.
I can't.
I took an oath.
But it seems pleasant.
And the less you know about it, the better.
Except that there is going to be a reckoning and that nobody existing on the face of this earth will be exempt from knowing the power from on high.
They will interpret it in different ways.
art bell
According to their beliefs.
father malachi martin
their pride and their culture and their bias and there will be people who even faced with the with the certainty that there is a greater power above our heads will say They'll reject it.
art bell
The scientists, for example, will find a scientific explanation for it.
father malachi martin
They will.
Remember the famous so-called Aurora Borealis in 1938?
art bell
Well, I certainly am aware of Aurora Borealis, but not one specific one.
father malachi martin
There was a specific one which they explained by saying Aurora Borealis, but this wasn't that at all.
They all agreed it wasn't Aurora Borealis.
The only one who put his finger on it was Adolf Hitler.
art bell
And he said.
And he said what?
father malachi martin
Well, he was in Brecht's garden at the Wolf's Lair.
That was his famous place when he was for weekend with his cabinet.
And Speer, Albert Speer, who was a member of his cabinet, his architect, tells us in his second book that that night they all stood on the esplanade of his villa in the Bavarian mountains, looking out to the east and seeing these extraordinary sights of light.
And Hitler said, yeah, no, now we have to shed blood.
We didn't shed blood in taking the Tsar, we didn't shed blood in taking Czechoslovakia, but now we're going to shed blood.
art bell
So he took that as a sign?
father malachi martin
Oh, he took it as it was a sign.
The virgin who told the children in Fatima in 1917 about this sign, she told them it would take place just before the Great World War.
She said it will be just before they start killing millions.
art bell
Can you tell us in a way that we can read between the lines with regard to the third prophecy?
Is there a timetable that you are aware of that cannot speak, but cannot speak of, that we can read between the lines on?
father malachi martin
Yes and no.
There is a...
It is not 50 years away.
It is not 20 years away.
Number what?
It's not merely one area.
It's not merely one religion.
It's not merely one race.
art bell
It will be apparent to all.
father malachi martin
All.
Without exception.
Without exception.
And it will be frightening.
art bell
Okay, well, I think I've asked as much as I want to ask about that.
Let us ask some questions of the audience.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Father Malachi Martin in Manhattan.
unidentified
Hello.
Good morning, and greetings to you, Art from British Columbia, up in Canada, and to Father Martin.
father malachi martin
Good morning.
unidentified
Conestoumalke.
father malachi martin
Thank you, Kelly.
unidentified
We do try to keep the face a little.
But listen, several, what I'd like to do is ask several questions, and I'll just hang up and listen to your various responses, one for Art and two for Father Martin.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Several weeks ago, you had a living, breathing astronaut, Art, on the program.
art bell
Yes, Edgar Mitchell.
unidentified
Yes, I rather wish you'd asked him what his take was on your question.
Did we really fly to the moon?
Okay?
art bell
Oh, look, yes, the answer is yes.
I've asked him that many times, and as always, absolutely, he walked on the moon, sir.
unidentified
Did you sort of challenge him with some of the questions that the debate raised?
art bell
Yes, I did.
Yes.
unidentified
I'm sorry, I missed it.
Father Martin, my Irish grandmother, God bless her soul, when she had...
She was from County Court.
father malachi martin
Oh, God bless her.
unidentified
Yes, I know.
She used to have me on her knee, and with a twinkle in her eye, she would tell me stories about the little people.
And as a kid, I loved those stories.
I cherish them.
But, you know, I would like your take on that.
art bell
The little people?
unidentified
The little people.
And the other question is, Father Martin, you mentioned Vancouver as a source of the black arts.
I think Victoria is even more so.
father malachi martin
Yes, it is.
art bell
You mean the mild-mannered Canadian?
unidentified
Oh, hey, man.
father malachi martin
Archie, a very charitable person.
art bell
Well, I mean, in a lot of ways, they are.
Canadians, I speak to them all the time, Father, and they are very mild-mannered.
father malachi martin
They're very courteous.
There's no doubt about that.
art bell
But apparently behind that facade was anyway.
The little people.
father malachi martin
The little people, well, the little people, it's the ancient Celtic myth that the fairies, the little, little people, the wee people, dwell in the ruined forts and castles, of which Ireland is full, by the way.
Ruined of chapels and churches and towers and castles and old houses, etc.
But it is purely and simply a Celtic myth.
Round it there are wolves in an entire literature.
art bell
I wonder, Father, if today's little people in America and the world that are called greys, aliens, are the same sort of mythological creatures that were in Ireland.
father malachi martin
I've always wondered the same thing, Art, and I have no answer to it at all.
I have no Answer to it at all.
There is a greater myth, or not myth, but mystery in Ireland, the Banshee.
Did you ever hear of the Banshee?
art bell
I've never heard of them.
Oh, I've heard of Abraham.
father malachi martin
The Banshee is this certain families, certain old Celtic families still existing in Ireland, when a prominent member is dying or dead, this woman is heard crying.
And it's too frequent a happening to deny it.
We don't know what it is.
I had a very, very irate uncle on my mother's side who became an atheist, by the way.
And when I brought this up to him, he said, no, that's the female hare in the heat.
But it wasn't.
It's too established the fact that there are families, and there is this peculiar wailing and oligoning, as they say in Gaelic, at the death of a member.
art bell
Tell you a pretty strange story, Father, in Miami.
It broke the day before yesterday.
A woman dressed entirely in black with no identification whatsoever fell from the sky.
The authorities have checked with airlines, with flight plans that have been filed, blah, blah, blah.
No identification on the woman.
They have no idea who she is.
She literally fell from the sky, hit a picket fence, was cut in two.
Good God.
And they still have no idea whatsoever, what that could be all about.
Signs, strange signs from the sky.
father malachi martin
Strange signs, but strange things happening all over the place at the present moment.
art bell
Paducah, Kentucky, a 14-year-old, walks in and kills three classmates, wounds six others, and gives only as an explanation, those who know him, that he was angry at us, at society.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
art bell
You know, you see statistics today indicating that crime, violent crime, is down.
But the very nature of crime has utterly changed.
At one time, Father, when one person would take the life of another, there usually was a reason.
Man catches a wife in bed with somebody else.
father malachi martin
Or robbery.
art bell
Bad business deal, robbery, whatever.
But there was a motive.
Today's crime, though maybe less, is totally indecipherable.
father malachi martin
Totally.
You're quite right.
That's the very word.
Indecipherable.
It's the extraordinary turn of events.
Now, look, as far as I know, it means the presence of a more active evil for evil's sake.
art bell
Is there a war between heaven and hell that is constantly going on, or is it...
Now it's acute.
father malachi martin
Now it's very acute.
art bell
All right, Father, hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
Sometimes you have to be careful about the questions you ask.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Mark Bell.
My guest from Manhattan, New York is Father Malachi Martin, and there will be more coming up shortly.
Keep it right where you've got it.
unidentified
Keep it right where you've got it.
art bell
All right, once again, Father Malachi Martin from Manhattan.
Father, a war between heaven and hell.
There have been recent movies about it, and so I hate to have to draw my knowledge of this from motion pictures.
father malachi martin
Why not?
art bell
But there was, have you seen a movie called Prophecy?
father malachi martin
Yes, I have.
art bell
Christopher Walkin.
father malachi martin
Yes, right.
art bell
Boy, he sure is a perfectly possessed person on screen.
It, in those motion pictures, depicts an actual war between heaven and hell, an escalating war between heaven and hell.
The fallen angels.
When you see something like that, is that anything like you envision to be going on, you know, minus the Hollywood special effects?
father malachi martin
Yes, well, minus the Hollywood Special Effects, yes.
The, yeah, it is.
unidentified
Uh-oh.
art bell
Of course.
We just had some weird noise on the line.
father malachi martin
We have, yes.
It must be that.
We're getting on somebody's nerves.
art bell
Yeah, that's right.
You guys at NSA, just listen, don't cut in, huh?
father malachi martin
It is, yes.
But where you find that battle raging is in the souls and lives of living people.
And you find it raging and hurting and injuring and killing.
art bell
The people you deal with.
father malachi martin
Yeah, yeah, you do.
And terrible things happen.
Humanly terrible things happen.
The people who take the other side, who really serve evil and hurt others.
And it spreads from generation to generation.
It's a terrible battle.
And it goes on all day and goes on right to the whole week and the whole year.
And there's no getting away from it.
And it's getting much more acute today than it ever was before, Art.
art bell
Well, maybe this is a dumb question, but is there any possibility that that war could ever become an all-out war, one in which the right side wouldn't win, where Earth could be lost?
father malachi martin
I think it can get to the point that Earth can be lost for a while.
It will be reclaimed.
But I think that there's a sunset is creeping over the whole human thing at the present moment.
And it's a gray sludge.
And it's slowly but surely extinguishing all love.
The world is really getting very cold.
art bell
And I think we're now getting back toward that which you really can't fully talk about.
father malachi martin
Yeah, that's frightening.
That's frustrating.
art bell
I catch on quickly.
All right, Father, a lot of people on the phone lines that I've really got to get to.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Father Malachi Martin.
Hello, where are you, please?
Hello there.
father malachi martin
Hello.
art bell
Yes, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yes, this is Bruce from Chicago.
art bell
Hi, Bruce.
Bruce.
unidentified
Good morning.
It's an honor to talk to Father Martin.
He's my favorite guest.
father malachi martin
Hi, Bruce.
unidentified
My question was along the lines of what you were just talking about the last moments, Father Martin's last appearance on the program, he talked about, or Art brought up the lights in Phoenix, and Father said that if that in fact was the case, something awesome and most fearful would be happening.
And the timeframe I interpreted from that was somewhere out to spring of 98.
And I wonder if he could specifically elaborate on the timeframe, if he can't go anywhere.
father malachi martin
Actually, I don't feel happy at all about 98, the moment we leave winter and start into spring.
I don't feel happy at all about it.
I simply think that things are spiraling in such a way that we're going to undergo severe disturbances, to put it mildly, nationally and internationally.
I think that if I were to speak off refractory, I think a lot of people are going to die violently.
art bell
Oh, boy.
father malachi martin
I think we're coming to a very bad point.
A very bad point.
I think.
I can't have it any other way.
art bell
All right.
I don't even want to ask anymore.
West of the Rockies, you're on here with Father Malachi Martin.
Hello.
unidentified
Yes, good morning.
Morning, where are you, please?
Close Vancouver.
art bell
Yes, Vancouver.
unidentified
Again.
art bell
We draw you for it.
unidentified
Yes, you have.
father malachi martin
God bless you if I'm cool.
unidentified
Art, I appreciate your ability to sensitively talk to the variety of people that you talk to.
It's amazing to me.
And Father Malachi, you're a very special person.
I have a question for you that's been very disruptive to me.
A little while ago, I was reading through some very old photographs with my family.
I came across two pictures that were taken, it looked like a few minutes apart of my mother, another woman, and a young child in front of a fence with a house in the background.
The first picture, they were all looking very sullen, very glum, and in the foreground, in front of my mom, there was a creature that you could kind of see through it.
It almost looks like double exposure, except that there's no reason.
This picture is too old and genuine.
But the creature looks about four feet tall, a little hunched over, black kind of shawl, very kind of like a big nose, very, very evil looking.
And I'm concerned that this could be demonic, and I'm concerned about the intergenerational kind of effect it can have on an opponent.
father malachi martin
Was there any trouble?
Have you got the picture yet?
unidentified
I have got the picture.
I don't even show it to people because it just makes my hair stand on end.
father malachi martin
It doesn't.
don't don't put it in an envelope and wipe I'm not Catholic.
You're Christian?
unidentified
I am Christian.
father malachi martin
Well, then, take an envelope, put the photograph in it, and put a notice on it saying, do not open, and date it, and sign it, and write the name of Jesus across the front of it.
And put it away.
do not open and then write It has a purpose.
unidentified
It has a purpose.
father malachi martin
I don't know what the purpose is.
art bell
Is that a clear enough instruction?
unidentified
It is.
How about if I send it to you and you could put it in a strong box?
father malachi martin
How do you want it?
Well, if that is to be what's happened to us, please do.
unidentified
Okay.
father malachi martin
That is to be the way it's done.
art bell
Okay.
You sir really should accept responsibility as guardian of your own.
unidentified
I've had it up to now.
Is there an address that I can get?
art bell
All right, yes, thank you.
Father, by the way, I want to tell the audience, you have a new website, and we have linked to your website.
I should have given this much earlier and programming.
People will go to www.artbell.com and just scroll on down to Father Malachi Martin's name, click on it, you will go to his new website.
Now, Father, is there a way on that website for people to contact you?
Maybe not.
father malachi martin
Not so far.
Although I must tell you that I've given out an address, a postal address in Manhattan, which can be used with impunity.
art bell
All right.
father malachi martin
And it's 217 East 66th Street.
art bell
Slow down.
217 East 66th Street.
father malachi martin
New York, New York, 10021.
art bell
10021.
father malachi martin
Apartment 2A as in Apple.
Wait a minute, yeah.
Then I download all my messages, my email, continuously.
I don't answer them all because sometimes they exceed 300 a week.
art bell
I understand.
father malachi martin
It's difficult to answer them, but certain ones I do.
art bell
Okay, Father Malachi Martin, Apartment 2A.
father malachi martin
At DeNapol, yeah.
art bell
Uh-huh.
At 217 East 66th Street.
New York, New York.
father malachi martin
10021.
art bell
10021.
father malachi martin
USA.
art bell
Okay.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Father Malachi Martin.
Good morning.
father malachi martin
Hello.
art bell
Where are you, please?
unidentified
My name is Alex, and I'm calling from El Paso, Texas.
art bell
Yes, Alex.
father malachi martin
Yes, Father Martin, I have a feeling that a good friend of mine, his son, I think, may be possessed.
And what he does is he draws very, very strange drawings on his wall and he talks to them.
He draws very, very ugly pictures of certain strange things.
And I have a now I may sound like kind of crazy by saying this.
No, you don't sound crazy at all.
What age is the boy?
He's about ten.
And you know, when kids are about ten, you know how they have like invisible playfriends and stuff like that.
But I have a strange feeling that God is telling me to like kind of help this boy.
Yes, as and I don't really like know whether to like, you know, get like some sort of help on exorcism or anything like that.
Yeah.
I do not know the bishop down there if there's an official agrocist in that diocese of El Paso, in which El Paso is.
Tell me, do you know anything else about the boy?
Does he speak?
He bends himself like a book.
Does he speak about a companion?
Well, he told me that he's talking to the person on the wall.
He draws these pieces.
In other words, he could have a familiar, as they call it.
I'm not too sure, by the way, of familiar, but...
But at this distance, it's impossible to say.
But the peculiar drawing is funny.
Does his father ever bring him to a psychologist?
No, actually, the father just kind of blows it off and says, hey, you know, it's just my son doing strange things, you know.
Oh, geez, it is.
That's a big thing.
I kind of have a feeling that, you know, maybe I should get someone, or if not myself, get someone to exercise him.
So where would I?
Well, you'd have to apply to the local diocese.
Because at this distance, it's the jurisdiction of the bishop in which El Paso is.
I don't know what diocese El Paso is in.
It's in a Texas, Texan diocese, Texas diocese.
I don't know which one.
But then you go to the chancery and ask who is the ecosystem in that diocese.
art bell
Would it be a question?
father malachi martin
If the father agrees, because the father must agree.
art bell
So there you are.
Father, what chance in this modern day and age in America does somebody have of going to a diocese and getting an affirmative answer that there is an exorcist?
father malachi martin
There is, well, it puts it in percentiles, about 33%.
art bell
33%.
father malachi martin
About a third.
It's very low.
art bell
And if they don't get satisfaction, then what?
father malachi martin
Wow.
If they don't get satisfaction...
The reason I groan is that I know so many cases of that.
I know so many cases where they're laughed off or brushed off or told to go away or simply told as no, go to a psychiatrist.
And that's what has happened within the church organization of my Roman Catholic Church.
If our friend who is speaking to us from El Paso, he should pray about it, because prayer can obtain what this boy needs.
But I have no solution.
At this distance out, I have no solution.
I see the poignancy of it all and the danger.
And that Father is very faithless.
art bell
Father, could you become a bishop?
father malachi martin
Of course I could.
art bell
If you were to become a bishop with the power attendant, what would you try to change?
What would you try to do with that increased responsibility?
father malachi martin
I would try and organize the clerical reaction to possession and obsession, because these are factors that are growing in every diocese I know in the United States.
art bell
So we should not be offering less to people like that man who called, but more.
father malachi martin
There should be a mechanism in each diocese that aids such a thing, takes it in, studies it, gets to the boy, gets to the father.
But there isn't, and that's the triumph of Luciferianism, the churches themselves as the greatest descends.
Yeah, and the terrible thing is that you won't find a belief in it all amongst many bishops and many priests.
art bell
Does the fact that you just said that make it less likely that you would become a bishop?
father malachi martin
No, no, it doesn't.
It depends on the will of those who make bishops.
But anyway, it is pathetic art.
It really is pathetic.
Even in this archdiocese of New York, there are people who need attention, but they don't get it.
art bell
But don't get it.
father malachi martin
Because there's just too much to be done.
art bell
I understand.
First time caller line, you're on here with Father Malachi Martin in Manhattan.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
I can barely hear you.
unidentified
Yes, my name is Keith.
father malachi martin
I can barely hear from too.
art bell
Yeah, you're going to have to yell at us, sir.
unidentified
Okay, my name is Keith.
art bell
Yes, Keith.
unidentified
Yes, I'm calling from Carbondale, Illinois.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
Yes.
I was just calling and concerned with something that you talked about earlier on the show, the lady named Harlot.
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
And I was just thinking about it.
I do a paper route at night, and I just got off of it to try to get a hold of you.
And you seem kind of concerned, and it hit me that most likely the daughter would be in heaven.
And the reason I say this is because if the woman desired her to be in hell with her, and hell is supposed to be a damn nation, then she wouldn't be able to have that with her.
art bell
But, sir, she said, if you listened carefully to that program, She didn't say that she willed her to be in hell with her.
She said she took steps before her daughter was killed to ensure that she would be in hell with her.
unidentified
It's as if she desired that to be.
father malachi martin
Of course.
art bell
It was beyond desire.
She said she took steps.
unidentified
Right.
And what I'm saying is that she would be getting one of her desires fulfilled if God were to enact the child to damnation.
art bell
You really are missing something, though.
She actually took steps.
And what I asked Father Martin a while ago was whether, I have no idea what those steps are, but whether it would be possible that, in fact, she could have done that.
And the answer was yes.
father malachi martin
It's feasible.
It's feasible.
The king, it's an extraordinary thing.
The genuine Luciferians and Satanists you meet, they look forward to hell.
art bell
She did.
She absolutely did.
It was one of the most unnerving interviews I've ever done in my whole life.
father malachi martin
They really do.
art bell
Father, we're at the top of the hour.
Are you good for one last hour?
father malachi martin
Certainly.
art bell
Well, there's lots of people are waiting, so we will do it.
Relax for a while and we'll be right back.
He's great to this is Coast to Coast AM.
All right, back now to Manhattan and Father Malachi Martin, and Father will try and lay heavily into the phones.
father malachi martin
Yes, sure.
art bell
But I do have a couple of quick questions by facts.
One, have you, Father, ever had an exorcised demon come back to haunt you?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Now, I'm glad they asked because I never would have thought to ask and I never would have expected that answer.
Can you tell us at all?
father malachi martin
Yes.
It's very harrowing and resulted in bodily injury, grievous bodily injury.
But we were able to deal with it, but it took a lot of work.
And it involved a lot of physical pain.
A lot of physical pain for a whole year.
art bell
For a year?
father malachi martin
A year, yeah.
The damage.
art bell
And one other, and this is much lighter.
Finally, a light question.
You know, we're talking about Christmas and Christmas giving and so forth.
And we know that you have been close to two popes.
unidentified
That's right.
art bell
And Kevin, listening to KEX in Portland, wants to know, what does a close friend of the Pope buy him for Christmas?
father malachi martin
Well, if he really knows him and he knows he shaves, does he use an electric razor?
It's as simple as that.
Or slippers, bedroom slippers.
Or if he uses T-shirts, one Pope dido, mind you, used T-shirts and valued cotton, Egyptian cotton t-shirts.
Things like that.
art bell
I see.
father malachi martin
Simple things.
art bell
Simple things, sure.
All right.
First time caller line.
You're on there with Father Malachi Martin.
Good morning.
unidentified
Hello, this is Ken from Steubenville, Ohio.
Hi, Justice Ken.
Praise God, I finally got through to your bell after trying for months.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
First of all, I'd like to confirm two things and then ask a question of Father Martin.
A, yes, once you've been demonized or bothered, getting rid of it is the greatest thing in the world.
Yes, they do try to come back and bother you.
I know.
I had death delivered off of me.
Second of all, I have a question for Father Martin about, is it possible that a person could be born and have a curse put on them for the rest of their life, where like a cloud of doom is always over them?
art bell
Interesting question.
father malachi martin
Yes, the only way I can translate it into reality is that in certain families, possession is intergenerational.
unidentified
Why?
All right, the reason why I asked that question is last year my mother died of cancer.
And we had to bring her home to die.
And I knew of a, well, she said she made a deal with God and I knew what it was.
It was a pact.
And she didn't die in peace until I prayed over her, anointed her, and broke the pact with the devil.
father malachi martin
Yep, that can be done.
unidentified
I know.
I've done your type of work, and I understand the seriousness of it.
So as far as this curse goes, I've heard many people pray over me, but nobody could really put the finger on why.
art bell
Are you one of the people who has the black cloud over his head all the time?
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
All right, Father, that really is an interesting question.
Your answer was affirmative, that there can be such an No, Chris, not a way of saying it.
father malachi martin
It's an intergenerational obsession, really.
In his case, it is not possessed.
It doesn't sound like it, anyway.
art bell
It seems so cosmically unfair if there is no such...
father malachi martin
Yes, yes.
art bell
And they will forward the theory of karmic workoff, you know, from one lifetime to another.
But if there is not that, and that we all begin roughly equally, it just doesn't seem fair.
father malachi martin
Well, you know, sometimes we don't all begin equally at that difficulty.
And see, there's one peculiarity God has, and it's this.
That, as the prophet Hosea said, the father reaps our grapes and the children's teeth are blunt.
Take, for instance, Adam and Eve.
I wasn't in the garden.
unidentified
True.
father malachi martin
I didn't eat the apple.
art bell
True, but you nevertheless suffer.
father malachi martin
I suffer from that.
That's God.
If I am a child born of a mother who's a lush and a father who's a crack addict, most probably I'm going to be an alcoholic and I'm going to be a crack addict from the moment I see the light.
Why?
This way God has arranged humanity.
And if I have a parent who rears me to be the servant of Lucifer, and I know families that do that, you know, God doesn't step in and send an angel and tell me to stop.
I've got to deal with it.
And if there's anything like an intergenerational obsession in man's family, then he has to deal with it.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Well, east of the Rockies, you're on the air with Father Melatime Martin.
unidentified
Hi.
Hello.
art bell
Going once.
Going twice.
unidentified
I'm not from the Rockies.
art bell
I said east of the Rockies.
unidentified
Oh, east of the Rockies.
art bell
I'm sorry.
That's you then.
You're east.
unidentified
Where are you?
I live in Oaklawn.
art bell
Oaklawn.
unidentified
Oaklawn, Illinois.
I'm sorry.
art bell
Definitely east of that great chain there.
father malachi martin
Definitely the east.
unidentified
Good morning, Father.
father malachi martin
Good morning to you, ma'am.
unidentified
First, before I ask you anything, I want to thank God that we have priests like you to give us information.
father malachi martin
I'm sorry to hear that.
unidentified
Well, for the information that we're starving for, for ourselves.
So, because you speak the truth.
And this is what we very seldom hear nowadays.
Okay, my question, and I have even written this to Cardinal O'Connor in New York.
Could the tampering of the Latin traditional mass of the saints and the martyrs let all hell break loose?
Now, the reason I'm saying, that's my first question, and the reason I'm putting that together with, I read Leo XIII when he heard the devil come from the tabernacle.
And now, I don't know, I'm not trying to figure out God's time, but that was in 1887.
It was.
Right, Father?
father malachi martin
It was.
unidentified
Okay.
So it was in 1990.
Now, the first thing they did at Vatican II when they tampered with the Mass is take away the prayer of St. Michael.
That's right.
And, I mean, I don't look at it as coincidence because it was...
Pardon me, Father?
It's not.
Because they took away.
art bell
Father, you've got to stay good and close to the phone.
father malachi martin
I have to.
My phone is in bad shape.
I'm going to get a new instrument.
unidentified
And when he heard this, when he heard the devil make the pact with God, now if I'm saying it wrong, I'm not real well educated, so bear with me.
father malachi martin
You're doing fine.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, when he made that pact with God, and God said, I will give Satan 100 years to destroy the church.
Now, when that happened in 1887, and the prayer to St. Michael was composed to fight the devil, the first thing they did at Vatican II is take away at the foot of the altar the Mass of St. St. Not the Mass, I'm sorry, the prayer of St. Michael.
art bell
All right, you already covered that, ma'am.
Your bottom line question is, is all hell about to break loose, right?
unidentified
Right.
The thing I'm asking is that in 1987, through the grace of God, the Holy Father, almost to the day, the month of October, on the Feast of St. Trice, the Mass indulg was given.
Now, that is like the weapon, the center of our faith, is the Latin traditional Mass.
Now, could this be all part of it, the tampering of the sacred?
That's what I want to know.
father malachi martin
Yes, it was.
It was.
And between you and me and the Holy Spirit, ma'am, what I've always believed is this, that the only punishment that was merited by those who drew up the main documents in the Vatican Council, the only punishment that they deserved was a withdrawal of grace.
They tampered with the truth.
And God simply withdrew grace.
And hence we had the horrible 30 years.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
art bell
Clearly.
Yeah, Father.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Father Malachi, Martin.
Hello.
unidentified
Yes.
Hello, Art.
art bell
Hi, where are you?
unidentified
In California.
This is Daphne.
Yes.
Thank you for bringing Father Malachi on.
Hi, Father Malachi.
father malachi martin
Hi there, ma'am.
How are you?
unidentified
Fine, thank you.
What's on your Bible?
Pardon me?
father malachi martin
What's on your mind?
unidentified
I have two questions, if I can.
The first one deals with I was born into an intergenerational satanic cult.
And my father was the high priest.
I was at my birth, my soul was given to Satan by my parents.
And so my first question is, how can I be released from that?
father malachi martin
Very simple, ma'am.
Provided you are baptized and that you go through confession, Holy Communion, and Mass, you should, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, which is just in a couple of days' time, you should consecrate yourself to Our Lady.
unidentified
Okay.
I did denounce Satan.
Is it as simple as that?
father malachi martin
It's as simple as that.
If you need anything further, you could write to me about it.
But that's all that's necessary, really.
unidentified
Okay, and thank you.
My second question is, as a result of the experiences that I had with this cult, I developed multiple personalities, so this whole evening program is very interesting to me.
I was highly programmed by the cult, and I've been in therapy for many years.
Along with all the personalities, our knowing demons, they're not part of my personality, so they're separate.
My pastors are preparing to do a deliverance.
We are not Catholic.
We did go to a Catholic church and asked the priest, and he really did not believe in that.
He did not, he didn't take it seriously.
So my pastors are preparing to do this in a few weeks, and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for them, or is there a way they can reach you by phone?
father malachi martin
Write me a short note to the following address.
217 East 66th Street, Apartment 2A for Apple, New York, New York, 10021.
unidentified
Okay.
And does that come in directly to you?
father malachi martin
Yes, it does.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Yeah, obviously that's an apartment address.
It goes right to them.
father malachi martin
Tell me your first name, sir.
We identify it.
unidentified
On envelope?
father malachi martin
No.
unidentified
Daphne.
father malachi martin
What is your first name?
Daphne.
Okay, I've got it.
unidentified
That's enough.
art bell
All right, Daphne, do that then.
Father, that is an amazing thing to hear.
She was given to the devil at birth.
father malachi martin
Oh, yes.
But how common this is?
art bell
Well, that was where I was going.
In America, in Canada, in the Americas, even worldwide, Father, how much of that is there really going on?
father malachi martin
Well, put it like this.
It's going on.
I don't know one country in which it is not going on.
I don't know one, because there's a very private Vatican report about this, which we don't divulge, but it gives the indications that there isn't one country in which this doesn't take place.
art bell
Is there arguably more of it going on?
father malachi martin
Yes.
There's arguably more going on today than ever any records indicate.
The records we have.
And the records are very good.
unidentified
They're very detailed.
father malachi martin
But arguably there's much more today.
And in the last 50 years, the second half of this century, has been a bumper crop.
art bell
So that really at the very moment in history, a critical moment, when the church ought to be going in the direction that you would have it go, it's going exactly the other way.
father malachi martin
That's right.
The organization, not the church itself, because that's a sacred thing.
It's composed of all those in a state of grace who belong to our Lord and to God.
But the organization itself is in shambles.
art bell
Shambles.
father malachi martin
In shambles, and is to a large extent dominated by Lucifer.
art bell
East, dominated by Lucifer.
East of the Rockies, you're on there with Father Malachi Martin.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello.
art bell
Where are you, sir?
unidentified
Erie, Pennsylvania.
art bell
Erie, okay.
unidentified
Wow.
I didn't really expect to get on.
I could ask questions for hours, too.
However, I'll just try to cut down to like three.
I want to ask Art one question.
Art, why do you divide your callers between the Rocky Mountains?
I would have thought the Mississippi River would have been a more central location.
art bell
Well, maybe we'll change that one day.
It's just something we did because we began in the West and we had so many people in the far west that were listening to the show when it first became syndicated that we wanted to give everybody used to the Rockies an opportunity to get in.
And the show has grown, obviously, since then.
So maybe we'll change that.
unidentified
I see.
art bell
Anyway.
unidentified
Okay, and a question for your guests.
Okay, I tell people that seem to go crazy and just shoot people for no reason.
Like just recently somebody shot a bunch of kids at the...
father malachi martin
Paducah.
Right, Kentucky.
unidentified
Right.
And I tell them, well, this, you know, there's no real reason for this.
These people must be possessed.
You're probably the only person I could talk to that would agree with me.
Do you think that at least a percentage of these people are actually possessed or obsessed or is it just normal human evil?
father malachi martin
No, no, no.
I'm convinced that in a case like the Paducah thing, it's a demonic origin.
art bell
It was a prayer group.
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
A prayer group.
And this young fellow was warning people ahead of time that something horrible was going to happen.
He actually warned them and then went ahead and did it.
It's, as I said earlier, indecipherable.
So you believe that there is possibly, very possibly, real evil involved?
father malachi martin
Yes, and the difficulty the normal public have is this, that, for instance, in New York, when something takes place, something horrid, something bloody, something murderous, and Satanism, as they call it, as a general term, involved, the police will not tell that to the public.
They have a rule.
They have a rule.
art bell
Then I must ask you this, Father.
This, in the Paducah case, of course, there was a 14-year-old child, and this child will be no doubt charged as a juvenile at 14, but if this was an older person, then how many people do you suppose, Father, go to the electric chair or are ultimately punished, receive capital punishment for something that is of demonic origin rather than human origin?
father malachi martin
That's difficult to answer.
I noticed when we did a survey of prisons, lifers, and people confined for 30, 35, 40 years for horrible crimes, a good one-third of them were obviously possessed.
art bell
A good one-third?
father malachi martin
Yep, at least one-third as a general all-park figure.
art bell
One-third.
All right, Father, hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour Once again, time does fly when you're getting the heck scared out of you, huh?
Okay, there'll be more.
I'm Mark Bell from the high desert.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
Still there?
father malachi martin
Yes, sir.
art bell
Well, Kay, we're in the stretch run.
It really is amazing how time plays.
father malachi martin
It runs away, Ott.
It runs away.
art bell
Yes, sir.
First time caller line, you're on the air with a guy who runs away with time.
Father Martin.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, this is Paul in Denver.
art bell
Hello, Paul.
unidentified
Father Martin, I have two short related questions.
Concerning your comments about hypnosis, if someone is pursuing or is not pursuing metaphysical goals or satanic goals, is hypnosis in general or self-hypnosis in particular dangerous?
I know many people use self-hypnosis for self-improvement kinds of purposes, and I just ask, is that dangerous?
father malachi martin
No, of itself, no, it isn't, but it should be under the supervision of some good psychiatrist.
unidentified
I see.
And then the last kind of related question is, how is a self-hypnosis different or maybe it's the same as an affirmative prayer?
father malachi martin
Because the self-hypnosis is really relying upon your own inner powers of concentration and self-control.
Whereas prayer, genuine prayer, depends on a special gift from God, I see, at the moment of prayer.
art bell
They are, Father, presently doing studies on the power of prayer, actual scientific studies.
And it would appear to be absolutely, scientifically verifiable that the power, that prayer actually works.
father malachi martin
Yeah, it does.
It works.
There's no doubt about that.
And the question that Paul just gave us is very interesting.
What is the difference between self-hypnosis?
art bell
Precisely.
father malachi martin
Because actually you can be taught by a very well-instructed psychiatrist.
They can teach you to hypnotize yourself so that you go to sleep, so that you recover from weariness.
But how does that differ from prayer?
In the sense, it differs in one sense, one essential sense, that prayer, it is genuine prayer, and if it's heard, which it normally is by a good God, then it means you get extra help, spiritual help, supernatural help, and that's distinct from your own inner powers.
art bell
Wildcard Line, you're on the air with Father Malachi Martin.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, it's Tom and Reno.
art bell
Hi, Tom.
unidentified
Hi, Tom.
Father Martin, it's a distinct honor to speak with you.
father malachi martin
That's very nice of you to say that, Tom.
unidentified
Thank you.
I was wondering if you were familiar with Edgar Casey.
father malachi martin
Yes, I am.
And with his works, I never knew the man himself.
unidentified
Okay.
You knew that he was an extremely religious person?
father malachi martin
Extremely.
unidentified
How do you reconcile his writings about past lives and that sort of thing?
father malachi martin
I'll tell you, Tom, there's no doubt about it.
Two things are clear about Edmund Casey.
First of all, he had extraordinary middle plateau powers.
That is, psychic gifts.
Extraordinary.
Quite extraordinary.
There's at least one doctor in New Jersey today that still uses his formula, his formulae, for these afflictions and diseases.
And he did this without any medical instruction as such, in extraordinary perceptions in that sense, an extraordinary perception.
He just had it and it came to him.
It was a psychic gift.
On the other hand, he did make egregious errors intellectualizing his condition.
He fell into various sort of illusions about God and about life and death and the hereafter.
And that part, if you were wise, if you take my advice, you drop any teachings he has about that.
But there's no doubt about it.
I know a person, a lady, a woman whose sight was saved because she went to a doctor in New Jersey who used Casey's formula.
unidentified
He did have some amazing gifts that he came up with.
father malachi martin
Utterly amazing.
And it was a gift.
There's no doubt about it.
Now look, I knew a few people in Ireland, the old Ireland I was born in in the 1920s and 30s, who had extraordinary gifts too of curing, healing by touch, and who also could tell you what's going to happen to you on the morrow.
These gifts, and I've met them in various parts of the world I've lived in, but never so much in my youth and adults when life was much simpler.
These gifts exist, there's no doubt.
Edmund Casey is an outstanding example of extraordinary psychic gifts.
unidentified
Definitely great gifts from God.
father malachi martin
Obviously, anything good comes from God.
unidentified
Okay, I have one more question, if I could.
art bell
All right, one more quick one.
unidentified
Okay, I wondered if you think it's possible that you could be wrong about past lives and reincarnation.
art bell
All right.
There's a straight out question.
father malachi martin
Well, no, I don't think there's such a thing as reincarnation.
I just don't believe it because my church condemns it and my reason doesn't accept it.
Now that I can be wrong, one can always be wrong, Tom.
You know what I mean?
But on this point, since it's a matter of faith, I prefer to say no, I'm not wrong.
I'm following the truth as revealed.
That's because I'm a Roman Catholic.
art bell
Fair enough.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Father Malachi.
Martin, where are you, please?
Hello there.
unidentified
Hi, I'm in Brian, Manitoba, Canada.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
I had a question for Father Martin.
father malachi martin
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Hi.
Have you ever heard of the house in Amnerville, New York?
father malachi martin
Yes, I have.
I've been to it.
art bell
Oh, you have, really?
unidentified
Yes.
Are there people living there right now?
father malachi martin
For a long time, there weren't.
There may be people there now.
unidentified
I just wondered if you had any information on the person, on the son who did the deed in that house, and what he's doing now.
father malachi martin
No, I don't know what he's doing.
I wish I did.
But I have no means of following that up because he doesn't want much notice.
He's not enough notice about it all.
unidentified
Is it true about the well in that house?
father malachi martin
Yes.
art bell
Is that true?
father malachi martin
The Amityville Horror was really a horror.
It really was.
But they were just as bad and worse to be found.
unidentified
Okay, thank you.
art bell
Thank you very much.
The Amityville Horror was real.
father malachi martin
Oh, yeah, it was real.
It was genuinely gruesome and real.
And yeah, it was very unpleasant.
art bell
Do you think that whatever was there is still there?
father malachi martin
I'd be inclined to think it is there because it was never properly cleansed.
art bell
I'll be doggone if I'd move into that house.
father malachi martin
Neither would I. I'd be doggone, too.
No, I wouldn't move into a place like that at all.
art bell
West of the Rockies, you're on here with Father Malachi Martin.
Hello.
unidentified
Good morning, Father.
I have something that has been bothering me for about a month and a half now.
Yes, sir.
And it occurred when I was in bed laying on my side.
father malachi martin
Yes.
unidentified
And I was tapped on the shoulder.
And I turned my head up towards the, over towards the bottom of the bed, and there was a big dark entity there.
And he was grabbing me at my feet and trying to pull me.
father malachi martin
Is this the first time this happened to you?
unidentified
Yes.
How long did it last?
It lasts, it seemed like, for 20 seconds.
father malachi martin
Has it occurred again?
unidentified
No, it hasn't.
father malachi martin
Okay, do you practice any religion?
unidentified
No, I don't.
Oh.
father malachi martin
Well, I'll tell you, it might be a good idea to pray, because unless it's No, I was not.
No, I'm sure you weren't.
I say that.
I don't think you were.
You sound very sober in my mind, I mean, in judgment.
Then this is what we call an obsessional harassment.
It's probably a great mercy that it's done to you, because it may wake your soul to worship God.
unidentified
I do believe in Jesus Christ.
Good.
But this has been extremely bothersome of myself.
father malachi martin
It should be.
I'll tell you.
Have you got a pencil?
unidentified
Yes, I do.
Write down.
Go ahead.
father malachi martin
O creature of God.
In the name of God who created you, and in the name of Jesus who saved me, I exorcise you.
unidentified
Thank you.
father malachi martin
Now, drop all fear.
You have nothing to be afraid of.
unidentified
Thank you.
father malachi martin
Keep those words in its eye.
Okay.
unidentified
Thank you very much, Father.
father malachi martin
God bless.
unidentified
Good luck.
art bell
First time caller line, you're on the air with Father Malachi Martin.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello?
Hello.
I'd like to know if I could talk to, just leave Father Malachi a number to call me toll free off the air.
art bell
No, I have no way of doing that, sir.
I'm here all by myself, and there is no producer to sit here and take a number.
I do it's a one-man band show here, so I can't do that, but you can write to the father.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Okay?
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
That's what you're going to have to do.
Thank you.
Wildcard Line, you're on the air with Father Malachi Martin.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good morning.
Good morning, Show Art.
Nice to see you, Father Malachi.
father malachi martin
Thank you.
art bell
Where are you, sir?
unidentified
I'm in Gulfport, Mississippi, WVMI territory.
art bell
Very good.
unidentified
The question, Father Malachi, I have.
In reference to war, the war, the eternal war, what do you believe in reference to the Nephilim or the Nephilium as far as returning in the flesh with the adversary to deceive the world like before, da-da-da-da-da-da, like the locust army, that kind of thing?
father malachi martin
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
art bell
The Nephilim, half angel, half-human?
unidentified
No, that would be the Giba.
art bell
I thought it was Nephilim.
unidentified
Well, it depends on where you look, I guess.
If you read the pictures.
father malachi martin
It does.
It depends on where you look, and it depends how you interpret where you look.
I only know one thing, that the Nephilim and the Giba and all that motley horde are under the domination of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
And we've nothing to fear, provided we remain faithful.
art bell
Was the earth not once cleansed with flood to correct all that?
father malachi martin
It was.
Actually, what you and I live in today, Art, and our friend from wherever he is is speaking from, what we are living in today is a reformed creation.
It's something God made over again after the fall.
art bell
Uh-huh.
Kind of like he hit a reset button.
father malachi martin
Yeah, he had to reset the whole darn thing.
It went awry.
art bell
I have, again, just sort of a reference to what we've been discussing all night, brushing up against it again, but it looks to me like the finger's getting near the same button again.
father malachi martin
Yeah, they do.
They do.
Stay true.
Stay true.
art bell
East of the Rockies, you're on the air with Father Malagai Martin.
Hello?
unidentified
Yes.
Father, I have a question for you.
In college, a friend of mine and I befriended a third guy in one of our classes.
And we became friends, and he revealed to us at a later time that he was dealing in the black arts.
And because of this, the friendship broke off.
father malachi martin
Did you deal in this?
unidentified
No, no, I didn't.
But we had some carryover, if you will.
We were visited by things that weren't very pretty.
father malachi martin
That's right.
There was infection.
We called that infection.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, that we had.
And we dealt with it and we confronted him about it.
And he didn't believe that it was possible.
He thought he was in control of these demons and such.
father malachi martin
That's the usual procession.
unidentified
Right.
We tried to convince him to get out of it, and he believes that he can't.
And he believes that there's a hell waiting for him, and that there's sort of at this point nothing he can do about it.
And we don't have so either.
But we don't have communication with him anymore.
father malachi martin
Oh, Lord.
But pray for him.
unidentified
Yes.
I do that.
Is there anything specific I can do?
father malachi martin
Beyond reaching him and get him to go and see somebody in our car so you can influence, help him, deliver him, heal him, no, except prayer.
unidentified
Okay.
father malachi martin
But you can pray for him.
unidentified
Okay.
father malachi martin
And it can move mountains.
It really can.
unidentified
Okay.
father malachi martin
But throw in a little fasting and penance.
unidentified
Fasting and penance, okay.
father malachi martin
Yeah, throw in a little of that.
I remove that.
unidentified
Okay.
father malachi martin
For his sake.
Try and get to him, though.
unidentified
All right.
Thank you.
art bell
You take care.
father malachi martin
He is your brother.
art bell
West of the Rockies, you're on there with Father Malachi Martin, and not a lot of time left.
unidentified
Hi, Art Anna calling from Malibu.
art bell
Malibu, all right.
unidentified
I'm a student of Elizabeth Cliff Hockett, and I'm just saying that as a point of reference, that's about the reason for my call.
Yes.
Because I know you had interviewed her recently.
I did.
Father Martin.
father malachi martin
Yes, sir.
unidentified
I'm calling concerning Dr. Jack Coborgian.
father malachi martin
Yes.
unidentified
And I have a very strong opinion about him.
I think that he's doing a terrible disservice, and that I believe that the patients that he is killing are not being relieved of their suffering, that somehow in an afterlife, because my spiritual beliefs, I believe that they will continue to have to go through whatever they need to go through.
And it just so happened that the break he was on the meetings again saying that he was trying to recruit other doctors to do this.
And I think you've developed a good rapport with the listeners.
And I would like to invite you to perhaps do a service to the listeners and voice your opinion and perhaps give your further opinion.
art bell
Yeah, I wish we had more time for this.
Thank you, ma'am.
Father, it really is a good topic.
But what is your opinion?
father malachi martin
There's no doubt about it.
Jack is doing the work of the devil.
About his actual spiritual condition, I don't know.
But I know that he is doing directly the work of the devil.
He's sending people into eternity by means of what is a mortal sin, an offense against God.
You can't do that with impunity.
And that's about his actual spiritual condition.
I don't know him from a hole in the wall.
I wouldn't recognize him, you know.
So I don't know.
But he's doing the work of Satan.
There's no doubt about that.
art bell
Your opinion, murder.
father malachi martin
Yeah.
He's murdering their souls, really.
souls really making it easy for them to I don't know.
art bell
Will he meet the souls of those he dispatched?
father malachi martin
God only knows.
But one speculates that, yes, he will.
but in a very warm place.
But, I mean, he, He is doing the work of the devil.
art bell
Boy, I hate to imagine that those souls that he dispatched, those suffering souls...
father malachi martin
You have a good compassionate heart.
It may be that they were suffering so much that they lost their reason.
Do you understand their grasp at any straw?
art bell
I do, but with the doctor retaining his health, you don't think that he's got the same chance.
father malachi martin
I don't think so.
No, I'd be very condemnatory.
art bell
Well, Father, we've done it again.
We're flat out of time.
father malachi martin
I know.
Time is the one thing we capitalists can't buy out.
Listen, I want to thank you for giving me the chance to talk to you and to your audience.
And if I don't speak to you before Christmas, you and Ramona have my blessing.
art bell
Father, thank you.
And we will do this, of course, again.
So it's not goodbye just to avoid.
father malachi martin
No, no, it's au revoir.
art bell
Good night, Father.
