<El error de los ateystas> Posesion diabolica, discernimiento e incredulidad en el Patrocinio de angeles y combate de demonios (1652) de Francisco Blasco Lanuza
Through an examination of the work Patrocinio de angeles y combate de demonios (1652) we will analyze how the Spanish cleric Francisco Blasco Lanuza tried to defend the reality of possession against naturalistic interpretations of the phenomenon. This defense was a response to a growing disbelief concerning the existence of spiritual substances; thus, the demoniac appears as physical evidence of the metaphysical truths of Christianity.
