Exorcismo de um País Inteiro

Será que o Brasil não precisa também de um exorcismo desse?

O cardeal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez se juntou ao arcebispo Jesús Carlos Cabrero e ao famoso exorcista espanhol José Antonio Fortea e fizeram uma cerimônia de exorcismo à portas fechadas na Catedral de San Luis Potosi em favor do México no dia 20 de maio passado. Isto mesmo, eles fizeram um exorcismo para livrar todo o México da influência demoníaca.

Padre Fortea lembrou o precedente de que São Francisco fez um exorcismo de uma cidade inteira (Arezzo), que estava passando por uma guerra civil.

Quando eu estava no seminário. na semana passada, havia um filósofo mexicano por lá. E eu resolvi perguntá-lo sobre o culto à Santa Muerte (foto acima) no México. Eu tinha lido vários artigos que relatavam da influência maligna deste culto no México, que o próprio Vaticano havia condenado. Ele respondeu que não tinha problema nenhum que o povo era muito católico. Daí eu perguntei sobre o a Guerra Cristero, e ele também respondeu que o povo mexicano não apoiou as decisões contra a Igreja naquela época. Bom, eu achei as respostas dele insatisfatórias. E parece que algumas altas autoridades clericais no México concordam comigo.

When an Entire Country Becomes Infested With Demons, Catholics Exorcize.

By David Ramos

VATICAN CITY — Can a country with deep Christian roots like Mexico find itself at the mercy of demons? Some in the Church fear so.

And as a result, they called for a nation-wide exorcism of Mexico, carried out quietly last month in the Cathedral of San Luis Potosí.

High levels of violence, as well as drug cartels and abortion in the country, were the motivation behind the special rite of exorcism, known as exorcismo magno (the great exorcism).

Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, the archbishop emeritus of Guadalajara, presided at the closed-door ceremony, the first ever in the history of Mexico.

Also participating were Archbishop Jesús Carlos Cabrero of San Luis Potosí, Spanish demonologist and exorcist Father José Antonio Fortea and a smaller group of priests and laypeople.

The event was not made known to the general public beforehand. According to Archbishop Cabrero, the reserved character of the May 20 ceremony was intended to avoid any misguided interpretations of the ritual.

But how can an entire country become infested by demons to the point that it’s necessary to resort to an exorcismo magno?

“To the extent sin increases more and more in a country, to that extent it becomes easier for the demons to tempt [people],” Father Fortea told CNA.

The Spanish exorcist warned that “to the extent there is more witchcraft and Satanism going on in a country, to that extent there will be more extraordinary manifestations of those powers of darkness.”

Father Fortea said that “the exorcism performed in San Luís Potosí is the first ever carried out in Mexico in which the exorcists came from different parts of the country and gathered together to exorcise the powers of darkness, not from a person, but from the whole country.”

“This rite of exorcism, beautiful and liturgical, had never before taken place in any part of the world. Although it had taken place in a private manner, as when St. Francis [exorcised] the Italian city of Arezzo,” he stated.

The Spanish exorcist explained, however, that the celebration of this ritual will not automatically change the difficult situation Mexico is going through in a single day.

“It would be a big mistake to think that by performing a full-scale exorcism of the country everything would automatically change right away.”

Nevertheless, he emphasized, “If with the power we’ve received from Christ we expel the demons from a country, this will certainly have positive repercussions, because we’ll make a great number of the tempters flee, even if this exorcism is partial. We don’t drive out all the evil spirits from a country with just one ceremony. But even though all will not be expelled, those that were removed are not there anymore.”
