She uttered a curse, like, I forgot what the exact wording was, but may those legs be struck down and accursed.

Well, gosh, that's exactly what happened.

They turned black and hideous and purple, and for the rest of his life, they remained like that.

So the words of grandmother effected this curse. And Father Amworth said, you know, no matter how

many prayers he said against that curse, those legs never changed. In other words, it was done.

Like the effect in nature by those demonic words

that she uttered were set in stone. And even her subsequent death didn't bring about their undoing.

Hello, friends, welcome back to The Exorcist Files, the show where when it comes to sin, we beg you, just say no.

Today, Father Martens will be covering the life and work of Father Gabriel Amorth, a very famous exorcist, who is said to have performed nearly 30,000 exorcisms.

He was portrayed by Russell Crow in the film The Pope's Exorcist in 2023, and Father has a wonderful episode for you today.

Before we start, though, I do want to address something and share us some updates.

We've gotten a few notes and comments asking about when the next batch of dramatic case files will come out. So we

wanted to give you a quick lowdown on what is coming down the pipeline. First off, this show is

one of the greatest privileges of our professional lives, and we are so grateful to all of you

who help make it possible. Truly, not many folks get to make art and document a subject they care about.

It is a privilege.

The dramatic episodes are produced as a limited series.

That means we do it in seasons.

Our OG listeners will remember that season one was 16 episodes, 13 dramatic and three bonus. Season two has had

12 dramatic episodes thus far and a lot more bonus episodes. The show is not ever going to be a

week-to-week dramatic case files. That is just not something we are able to do. Bottom line,

we do have more case files coming for season two, and we are very excited.
