It is by far the most debated and contentious episode in the canon of Exorcist Files episodes. And for good reason. For many Yoga is a lifestyle and exorcise that confers real health benefits. For others it represents a spiritual practice that cannot be separated from its roots. In a return to the case file Father Martins breaks down why he believes it is an issue for Christians.

Ryan and Fr. Carlos Martins go back into the most popular and most frustrating case of season two. A teenager freed. A holder possessed. One unconfessed mortal sin that turned a scheduled exorcism into what Martins calls a failure worthy of J.R.R. Tolkien.

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.
