Malachi Martin (1921-1999) catholic priest, exorcist, former Jesuit. He was very educated, he held three doctorates. He was a professor at Biblical Pontifical Institute, he knew nine languages.
He was born in a catholic family in Ballylongford, Count Kerry, Ireland. He became a Jesuit novice in 1939. He was studying in Ireland and Belgium, where he received doctor’s degree in Semitic languages, archeology and oriental history.
At the age of 33 he was ordained a Jesuit priest.
He took part in n the research of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other archeological researches in the Middle East. During the reign of Pius XII he traveled publicly and clandestinely to Eastern Europe and Soviet Russia where he carried out sacramental missions and was active in intelligence gathering for the Church.
From 1958 until 1964 he was in Rom, where he a private secretary for cardinal Augustin Bea SJ and pope John XXIII.
In 19654 Paul VI gave him special dispensation from his vows of poverty and obedience. He kept his vow of chastity. This is how he commented this decision:
"It was a grave decision, I could see the way the Church was going, the way churchmen were going in their decisions and all the anchors I had for morality and zeal were being undone. Then when the Vatican Council started in 1962, I could see the way the flow of opinion was going in the Vatican by a group of cardinals from Belgium, Germany and France. They were maneuvering the Church into totally new ecclesiology. I couldn't accept this."
Having undoubtedly knowledge about internal affairs in the Holy See he had described a conspiracy, which was going to take over whole Church, he was convinced that the was a Masonic conspiracy behind the Second Vatican Council. In his book modern world is under rule of evil, conspiracy and widespread sexual perversion. In his opinion between the members of the Church are being possessed by the devil.
When in late 1990’s he was asked about what has happened with the Church he said:
"Well, the Church itself has not been given to Lucifer, he was enthroned in the Vatican by Vatican officials. That doesn't mean he possesses the Church yet. The Church anyway is an ambiguous term because it either means the actual physical bloc of churches, convents, libraries, academies, parish houses and cathedrals, the physical plant. Or it means the group of faithful in the state of grace whether they are alive in Purgatory or in Heaven. That is the body of Christ."
The other day he claimed: "There has always been, since the fourth century, this organization set up by the Emperor Constantine. But that is not essential for the Church. The Church can exist without it. So that mystical body of Christ has not fallen into Lucifer's hands. The organization to some degree has. That's the difficulty."
