May 4, 1998: Vatican Murders - Father Malachi Martin
Published 2 years ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Father Malachi Martin to discuss the brutal murder of exorcist Father Alfred Kunz, found with his throat slashed in Wisconsin in what Martin identifies as a Satanist-inflicted killing. Martin reports a 750 percent increase in demonic possession cases since the early 1970s, including disturbing new patterns of young professionals making deliberate pacts with Satan and children as young as six showing signs of possession.
The conversation shifts to breaking news of a shocking triple death inside Vatican walls, where a Swiss Guard member apparently killed his commander and the commander's wife before turning the gun on himself. Martin connects the violence to a broader spiritual crisis under Pope John Paul II's papacy, describing the Pope as a tragic and isolated figure surrounded by hostility from his own entourage.
Martin discusses the Pope's controversial ecumenical outreach, including meetings with voodoo priests and Hindu rituals, suggesting these actions have drawn unwanted demonic attention to the Vatican. He addresses the signs of the Antichrist from scripture, the Vatican's growing interest in extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that profound upheaval awaits the Catholic Church in the years ahead.
