Exorcist Explains How NOT To Get Possessed This Halloween
Summary
Father Carlos Martins, a Catholic exorcist and host of *The Exorcist Files*, joins Morning Wire to discuss the reality of demonic possession versus Hollywood myths. He explains that exorcisms are legalistic processes focused on identifying and rescinding the rights demons gain through sin, such as occult involvement or sexual transgressions. Martins also shares diagnostic methods for distinguishing genuine possession from mental illness and offers his perspective on Halloween as a social custom rather than a spiritual threat.
