The same would be repeated with the homonymous film sequel, directed by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/William_Friedkin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">William Friedkin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking for the sake of speaking, the plot revolves around Regan, a 12-year-old girl who falls into a state of demonic possession, with which two long-suffering exorcists deal with, until reaching an end that could hardly be described as happy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, now: the exorcist priests Karras and Merrin must only face a unique diabolical presence. It is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pazuzu<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the wind demon who has taken the little girl\u2019s body as a lair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here comes the good stuff. It is well known that we Cubans don\u2019t go around the bush with details, trifles or miseries, and we tend to exaggerate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here, during the colonial days, in San Juan de los Remedios del Cayo it was not necessary to fight against a lonely and unhappy demon, but against&#8230;800,000 members of Lucifer\u2019s hosts! before whom the prayers of Anima Sola, Just Judge, San Cipri\u00e1n, The Seven African Powers and La Santa Camisa were ineffective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The facts<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the most relevant among the protagonists of what happened give us his version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Jos\u00e9 Gonz\u00e1lez de la Cruz, rector priest of the parish of Remedios\u2014there in the middle of the island\u2014, ecclesiastical vicar judge, commissioner of the Holy Office of the Inquisition and royal subdelegate of the Holy Crusade, declared in 1682:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat it has been more than two years that I am understanding in exercising and launching spirits in the name of Our Lord in different possessed creatures, and that to this date they have been launched according to the account and good faith in the Almighty Lord 800 thousand,<\/span><\/i><b><i>1 <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and in the course of all this time I have admonished my people as the Lord has given me to understand, and recognized a lot of timid spirit, before asking the Lord in his house they have rushed to the woods.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo date, eight creatures are linked with exorcisms, and many others, which exceed twenty, according to my experience, are possessed.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd a spirit has declared by spells that his name is Lucifer, Prince of Darkness.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at the character that has come to the fore. Lucifer, \u201cbearer of light,\u201d the angel whose splendorous beauty led him to be identified with the morning star, the son of the dawn, the same one who\u2014blinded by his narcissistic arrogance\u2014ends up being expelled into outer darkness, where he will take the name of Satan. (Yes, that one, who appeared in Remedios with his pointed ears, his goat hooves, bat\u2019s wings, arrowed tail, stink of sulfur and erect phallus).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leafing through an old treatise on demonology, I learn that Lucifer-Satan himself, in the corporeal figure of a voluptuous black woman, appeared to the pious Saint Pachnius, to awaken his repressed carnal temptations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same thing happened to the good Father Jos\u00e9, more than three centuries ago, in the very Cuban township of Remedios. Yes, because Lucifer, and 35 of his legions, had taken possession with a special predilection for the tempting and curvy physique of Leonarda, a black Cuban-born slave of the widow Pascuala Leal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ah, but now I will tell you what our usually original TV presenters always announce with the words \u201cdon\u2019t miss this!\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Jos\u00e9, transformed into a 21st century journalist, rushed to interview the Prince of Darkness himself, who spoke through the mouth of the vivacious black woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minutes of that interview were drawn up before the notary public Bartolom\u00e9 del Castillo, in the parish church of Remedios, at nine in the morning on September 4, 1682.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, believe it or not, before a notary, the High Demon, the Fallen Angel, declared:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI, Lucifer, swear before the Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints in Heaven that the cause for which we have taken possession of these creatures is their sins and those of their parents.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as you hear it. The only thing missing was for the Prince of Darkness to stamp the sulphurously stinking signature on the document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father Jos\u00e9 drew the conclusion that the town would collapse, as one of the mouths of Hell ended there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In view of this, he proposed moving to the Hato del Copey. (When they were established there, of course, the price of the land would skyrocket. And, what a coincidence, the owner of that region was Father Jos\u00e9 himself.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many neighbors, who did not believe in Lucifer, Satan, demons or whatever, resisted the move, despite all the priest\u2019s threats and fuss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why, almost three centuries later, thanks to those disbelieving inhabitants, the friendly, welcoming and very Cuban Remedios continues to exist.<\/span><b>2<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Notes<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that the township had 613 souls at the time, a certain elemental calculation can be made. If my beloved elementary school teacher didn\u2019t fool me by teaching me arithmetic, that\u2019s 1,305 demons per capita.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The events would attract two summit figures of Cuban culture. Don Fernando Ortiz, despite being \u201cimprisoned between nerves, arteries, years and dark clouds that cloud my vision,\u201d enthusiastically writes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Una pelea cubana contra los demonios<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Santa Clara University of Las Villas, 1959; Ciencias Sociales Publishing House, Havana, 1975). Tom\u00e1s Guti\u00e9rrez Alea would take up the matter again, in a film with the same title (130 minutes, b\/w, 1971).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know if it was because we were sensitive or because many of us who read The Exorcist, by William Peter Blatty were sentimental, painfully tense.
