Episode Description from the Publisher

Fr. Carlos Martins opens the mailbag. In one sitting he takes on venerating relics, praying holy curses, biblically laying off people who feel like family, staying hopeful while single at 40, and how to tell God's voice from your own. Blunt, funny, and unsparing, the exorcist without a script.Thanks to our SponsorsGet 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code EXFILES at https://www.cowboycolostrum.com/EXFILES.Go to wildalaskan.com/EXFILES for $35 off your first order of premium, wild-caught seafood.Live Better Longer with BUBS Naturals. For A limited time get 20% Off your entire order with code EXFILES20 at Bubsnaturals.comHead to Exodus90.com/exfiles and start your 14 day free trial.
