What happens when a Catholic priest lets a horror movie be filmed in his church? 🎬 Fr. Aaron Williams from Mississippi joins me to talk about hosting the filming of The Ritual, a new exorcism thriller set in the 1920s. We dive into why exorcisms continue to fascinate audiences, whether the movie is historically accurate, and what Catholics should know before watching.
In this powerful conversation, Fr. Williams gives pastoral insight into spiritual warfare, how the Church views exorcism today, and why The Ritual might be one of the more respectful portrayals of exorcism in modern cinema.
