Catholic journalist Charles Coulombe reminisced about the late Father Malachi Martin, as well as discussed angels, demons, the Devil, exorcism, and other "preternatural" topics. According to Coulombe, Father Martin was a "theological liberal," who eventually came to believe in the Devil as a real being and in exorcism as a way to manage him and his demons (see Hostage to the Devil).
