Hello, Exorcist Files fans. Hey, thanks for listening. We really appreciate your support.

And the good news is we have dramatic case files on the way. In fact, we should have them in just several weeks.

Oh, I'm so excited. Some good ones. I really think you're going to love them. Again, thank you for continuing to support us over the years, especially with the vault. That support helps make the show possible. The show is incredibly expensive to do, and that support helps sustain us. And if you are a vault member, make sure you take advantage. Listen to the bonus episodes. They ask me anything's

are great. In fact, we have one with Father Gregory Pine this week that I think you'll really enjoy.

Also, if you're new to the show, it's not just interviews, go back and listen to the dramatic

episodes from season one, and of course, all the ones from season two. Thanks again, friends,

and here's Deacon Charlie Ichevere to share some incredible wisdom and

stories.

Enjoy.

Welcome back to the Exorcist Files, special seasonal extravaganza with a first-timer guest and dear, dear friend of mine,

joining us on the show today, Deacon Charlie, Etche Veri.

Because it's a very great day when we can have him on the show.

Wow.

Even remember the mnemonic device, that's great.

It's a very nice name. Thank you, Ryan, for having me on. Absolutely. Now, you are a long-time listener and first-time interviewee, so perhaps you could introduce yourself to the fans. Correct. Yeah. Long-time fan of yours and, of course, Exorcist Files. So I'm Deacon Charlie Etchevary. I'm a deacon of the Arts Diocese of Los Angeles. I was ordained in 2017. I'm also, well, child of God, husband, father of five, preacher, speaker, podcast host, etc. Friend of Ryan Bethay, you know, lots of those. Don't forget that. You know, that's the newest one. So it's hard for me

to remember. But yeah, I have my first book coming out in February of next year. Amazing. And it's not canonical, but I hear it's fantastic. It, correct. It's not canonical. In fact, interesting because, like, one of the things that I've been thinking about lately as this, as that book goes to press is, I wonder if, like I said, anything incorrect. I mean,

I don't think I did, but I don't, to my knowledge, it hasn't gone through, you know, kind of an impromodder process. But given the subject, I think it'll be okay if I kind of fudge something at the margins. But I don't think I did, for the record. Well, I love to, I do wish we could published like every years, updated versions of your book. And then as they understand better what you mean over time, they could do little, you know, notations at the bottom. Like, he said this, but this is what he really meant. We could have used that for some of the ancient writings for sure. That's right. The NRSV version of Deacon Charlie's book. Ooh. So now I want to start us off on a little bit of an ecumenical note because every episode

is too Protestant or too Catholic. It's too scary or too boring. It's too

theologically dense or it's not theologically dense enough. So I just, in the spirit of

ecumenical dialogue, let's, two questions. What is

something you deeply love and appreciate about your Protestant brothers and sisters? And then what

do you love about your Catholic faith? Well, I think the first one that comes to mind about
