Prelates fail to answer if coronavirus is a divine punishmentMADRID (ChurchMilitant.com) - Reflecting on the global pandemic, a Spanish priest has charged that some bishops in the United States and Europe have ceased to address whether divine punishment exists, while they instead accommodate any sin, however severe. Fr. José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, a famed exorcist and an expert on the subject of the occult and demonic possession, said that many people have asked him whether the spread of the deadly virus is a divine punishment, a question he sought to answer in an online video.
