Welcome back to The Exorcist Files.

We hope you had a wonderful holiday and are enjoying your December so far.

As promised to our Kickstarter backers, we want to bring you one of our long-awaited bonus episodes,

an episode where we can say in the eternal words of St. Bonnie Tyler and St. Meatloaf,

Turin around, bright eyes. That's right. Today we begin our first exploratory episode into

that most famous shroud, shrouded in mystery, the shroud of Turin. Father Martins will be getting to do the interview

today, so you get a break from yours truly. Before we start, however, a few announcements. If you

haven't grabbed a copy of Father's book, The Exorcist Files, it's out now, and it's fantastic.

It has a really awesome list of endorsements, too. For example, Archbishop's sample of Portland,

of Satan and demonic activity. Head on over to Father Carlos Martens.com to order a copy, or just

go wherever you get your books. We also want to give a special thank you to Exodus 90. Men, if you haven't signed up yet for

their Advent challenge, this is the week to do it. It's an incredible way to grow an intimacy with God

and contemplate the real reason for the season. Go to Exodus 90.com slash X-Files. That's

X-Files and sign up. Father really loves this as a spiritual formation tool. We also want to give a shout

out to the lion. Okay, I know there's a lot of places to get news about what's going on in the culture,

but if you're a parent and you care about education especially, check out readlion.com. That's

R-E-A-D-Lion.com. They have incredible reporting, and it's just a really fun way to stay up to date on what's happening in the world.

So with that, let's Turin it over to Father Martins.

Hello, friends, Father Martins here.

I'm excited to bring you an interview I did with my friend, Dr. John Jackson,
