Students at the University College of Barberan and Collan in Spain will take a seminar called ‘The Evil’ with an expert priest
A University in Spain will force its students to attend a course on ‘exorcisms’.
The University College of Barberan and Collan has made attedance at the lecture, called “The Evil”, compulsory for its 196 students.
The bizarre course will be led by Roman Catholic priest José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, believed to be an expert on the controversial practice.
It will cover fields “related to the devil, exorcisms and being possessed and hell”, it was reported newspaper El Diario.
Father Cucurull has previously written a ‘manual’ on exorcism.
But the priest made headlines in 2010 when he defended the Vatican after the Pope’s chief exorcist claimed the child sex abuse scandals rocking the Church were evidence of the Devil’s presence there.
