Art Bell welcomes Rama Coomaraswamy, a former thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon turned Catholic priest who was a close friend of the late Father Malachi Martin. Coomaraswamy shares stories of his friendship with Martin, including the revelation that Martin believed a demon struck him down in the fall that led to his death. He confirms Martin possessed a genuine gift of discernment, once identifying strangers on the street as involved in a murder.
The conversation turns to the state of the Catholic Church, with Coomaraswamy claiming the post-Vatican II Mass is invalid because it altered the words Christ specified for consecration. He argues this departure from traditional sacraments has opened clergy to evil influences, contributing to the pedophilia crisis. He describes assisting in roughly 30 exorcisms and recounts how Martin mentored him in the practice after seminary training offered no instruction on the subject.
Coomaraswamy discusses the third secret of Fatima, confirming Martin read it in a car with Pope John XXIII but was sworn to silence. Callers press him on homosexuality and church doctrine, the nature of perfect possession, and whether evil entities have infiltrated the Vatican.
