Here are some truths people dismiss because they’re afraid, can’t face facts or for thousands of other reasons.

First. The Pope is who the Church elects. You can’t just say he’s not for whatever reason you may have; that’s rather arrogant. And looking at two times that two groups declared their current Pope was invalid and then seeing people fighting so much that they go off and start their own churches seems dangerous to me.

Doctrine changes because of things like this. When men decide what scriptures mean or do not mean, they’re playing with fire.

The fires of Hell. That’s a capital H because I just named a place. And it’s a real place.

In the following link, which you can view right here, there’s a radio program I challenge you to listen to, all three hours of it. Because it should terrify you.

It terrified me, and that’s not a small feat. If you’re new here or haven’t been around, then I invite you to look through my archives. I was once defined by fear; I was a coward and a weasel. I had pain inflicted on me and I inflicted pain on others. Without remorse for a while, because I was already too full of guilt to take on any more of it.

Guilt like that which is felt by all who suffer sexual abuse. Why victims blame themselves comes from a sense of inner pain that is far too intense to deal with. It also comes from any pleasure felt during the act. Violation should never feel good, but the truth is, it happens. And also it comes from the violation, but the guilt is misplaced even so. No child asks for abuse. But the flesh can sometimes be stimulated and it’s not our fault. We are not machines. We’re alive.

I had the blessing in the midst of my abuse of being made to attend church services and Sunday School. And I learned some things.

After an assault or particularly intense flogging I had someone to talk to. And this is important: once you have seen how horrible evil really is, you can easily believe in God. You must. Because there’s no way that evil, as in a Lucifer or Satan, can exist without God to keep him in check, stop him from tearing us all apart. And I knew that Satan couldn’t have created such beautiful things as this wonderful world and our universe. Only God, only a supreme being of light and love can have ever done that.

Yes, I once condemned the Catholic Church, but have I that right?

Of course, not in any mortal sense, but spiritually and morally. If I believe something to be wrong, shouldn’t I voice that belief?

Wait. What if I have different feelings now?

Then I should voice that as well. And here’s what it comes down to: I don’t know enough to say what’s correct or wrong. I just know that I believe in God.

But the Father in Art Bell’s radio program was a Catholic priest and an exorcist. I consider his words wise, but they terrified me. Like listening to him, without seeing anyone, I was getting a peek at how dangerously I had lived, and how utterly void of anything humanity can or should be, demons really are.

And my archive contains a lot of demonic stuff. But it happens that over time, my respect for how powerful and dangerous demons really are has faded. They’re good at making you do that. And I found myself equally confused and off the path.

As I listened and couldn’t stop, I recalled the demon in my room when I was a small kid. I remember the terror it caused, even though I didn’t know what it was. I could tell that it hated me. Oh, yes, I felt it. The priest talks about generational attachments and even possessions. For the first time, I knew what to call it. What had dogged me all my life.

A generational attachment. My parents were afflicted with many demons, and even if they never encouraged or practiced satanic rites or sacrifices, and indeed encouraged us kids to attend church, they did commit sexual, physical and psychological abuse on a scale I still can’t describe. It’s too painful for most people to read. They get overwhelmed and refuse to believe it.

That’s a concern in another area as well. So many people still believe that the third prophecy of Fatima hasn’t been fully disclosed. Could it be that, as it is, the prophecy isn’t terrible enough? Or are they scared and wish that there was more hope contained in it?

And if so many are adamant that the devil doesn’t exist, then what do they care about a prophecy?

Father Malachi addresses that, too. He said that he found that people who don’t believe in Satan have no faith in God, either. Their faith is crumbled to rubble.

Yes, I will tell you that God is real. His son Yeshua of Nazareth is real. And it’s almost time for his return, but not yet.

Because Satan and demons are real too.

Current world affairs are leading to it, sure enough. The Colombian president sent Trump a message full of logic, reason and truth. The truth is something Trump hates, because he lies all the time. But he can be reasoned with, to a miniscule degree. Or at least threatened.

The outrage at home and abroad have delayed his harsh tariffs or taxes on imported goods from Canada and countries in Central and South America.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, once the butt of a thousand jokes, has compromised every single United States citizen. And then told what he did.

When something like that is thrown in your face, you need to know that the gig is up.

Prices keep rising, and it’s partly Trump’s fault. Maybe it’s all his fault. I don’t know, but he sure isn’t helping us.

On Twitter, or X, Musk wrote that anyone who posts anything negative about Trump will be suspended. A sign of an alliance the likes of which has not been seen since Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. And they’re talking mass death already: starvation, exposure, persecution and much more.

First on their list was Hispanic people, and some have reportedly already been flown to Guantanamo Bay for internment. This is really happening.

Now, Trump wants to occupy Gaza and turn it into a resort. Can you believe that? How evil could you get?

But the signs of a coming conflagration, like that described in The Book of Revelation, have been getting more glaring in the past decade. The prices, the evil embraced by voters, the corruption and vice, the irreversible damage to our world, all are leading to one thing: God’s judgement on humanity.

There are people, as Father Malachi Martin says, who don’t fear Hell. On the contrary, they look forward to it.

I don’t have the capacity to process that one. I know that anyone willing to give themselves to Satan will find that Hell was not worth it after all, for one year spent with a blonde beauty.

Yes, you can make deals with the devil. You might get what you so desperately want, but either way, in the end, you lose.

And you can’t take it back. Not that.

Anyway, here are the late Art Bell and Father Malachi Martin. The call takes place in 1996. I remember the year well. But with the situations we have now, I wonder: if they were here, how differently would their conversation go?

Get yourself comfortable, brew a nice cup of coffee or tea, and soak in the most profound interview I’ve ever heard, and may God bless you.
