College Students Required to Attend Lecture on Exorcisms

[progressoid]

A publicly funded college in Spain has reminded their students that it is “compulsory” to attend a course given by a priest who is an expert in exorcisms. As reported by The Local: Spain’s News in English:

The University College of Barberán and Collán … is requiring its 196 students – who are all members of military families – to attend a theological conference focused on “the fields related to the devil, exorcisms, being possessed and hell”, according to newspaper El Diario.

The seminar called “The Evil” is set to take place on Thursday evening and will be led by Father José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, author of such works as “Summa dæmoniaca” – a treatise on demonology which includes a manual for exorcists.

The session is part of a series of lectures, which fall under organized activities that the students are required to attend, unless they have a valid excuse – as signs announcing the “obligatory” exorcism lecture remind students.
