In Spain they take place an average of 4 exorcisms according to Fortea Father
`Is one of the data developings by the priest Jose Antonio Fortea in the book Memories of exorcista'. In Galicia, where the magic is very extended, there are more cases of exorcism than in other places of Spain, according to explains the priest Jose Antonio Fortea on the occasion of the publication of its ninth work `Memories of exorcista' (MR Ediciones).
Not in vain, the devil owns, essentially, to those who is open to the evil or those who practice spiritism. In order to avoid demonic possessions, Fortea recommends, is necessary to cultivate the spiritual life and the faith.
In the other face of the currency are Castile and Valencia, more Christian earth, with religious practical major and, therefore, with less problems in this field , the exorcist states in interview to Europe Press, one of the five that exist in Spain.
Fortea, that is priest, arcipreste, theologian, exorcist and writer, notices that the great cities promote very dangerous types of esoterismo , and states that in the world, generally, there are few exorcists, since is a considered ministry exceptional, since there are not many cases to which to take care of .
The cases of demonic influences are many more, but those do not have anything of spectacular , affirms.
Although there are not many new cases of exorcisms - about four to the year in Spain, Fortea father thinks at least that they make lack, , more priests specialized in this subject to be able to respond to the consultations of the faithfuls . That is to say, he must have priests who could take care of people from the experience and not from which each thinks without knowing the subject thorough , it indicates.
Demands concentrated in Madrid
In Spain there are five exorcists, three of them in the Ecclesiastical Province of Madrid. And it is that, Fortea explains, most of the cases of all Spain are taken care of in the Madrilenian dioceses (Madrid, Getafe, Alcala de Henares).
People know that if is called to the Archbishopric of Madrid it takes care of to them. That causes that the demands of attention are concentrated here , assures the exorcist.
His teacher in the profession is father Gabriele Amorth, of the Diocese of Rome, that maintains that the Hitlers or Stalin were owned. But he asserts: I do not believe that there is not one politician or personage of the owned public life. The possession is an extraordinary phenomenon that it either does not have to do with the moral life of the person .
The symptoms
The symptoms of the clients of Fortea father are blasphemous change of voice, convulsions, critical moments, shouts, use of languages nonknown by owned or the aversion the asylum.
Not always all appear simultaneously and the treatment passes through prayers and calls to the demon so that it leaves the owned one. The sessions normally last between half an hour and three hours and, although there are cases that are solved with a single visit, others extend during months.
In the fifteen years exerting this `profesión', has tried to many needed people in this field, but it does not know how many because it does not take the account.
`Memories of exorcista' is a book that is based on its newspaper, in that counts its experiences from its arrangement. What shows - long it of its 352 pages are the real life day to day of a parish priest , relates.
After this, its ninth work, prepares a theological work on the spiritual aspects of the exorcism.
Jose Antonio Fortea Cucurull was born in Barbastro (Huesca) in 1968. It studied Theology in Navarre and Comillas and their thesis on ` the exorcism at the time actual' was directed by the present Secretary General of the Spanish Episcopal Conference and auxiliary bishop of Madrid, monsignor Jose Antonio Martinez Way, then secretary of the Commission for Doctrina of the Faith. It belongs to the presbytery of the diocese of Alcala de Henares (Madrid). It arranges his work like theologian with his work like parish priest of Santa Maria Magdalena in the locality of Anchuelo (Madrid), near Alcala de Henares, in whose historical center it resides.
