Tax included

In this book, Father José Antonio Fortea examines a complex and controversial question: the hypothesis that “wandering souls” may exist. This expression refers to human souls which, according to certain accounts, might remain in an intermediate state after death.

A Catholic priest and theologian, the author considers this subject through accounts associated with the ministry of exorcism and in the light of the Bible, Tradition, the writings of the Church Fathers and Catholic theology.

An in-depth theological study

Father Fortea does not present this hypothesis as an official teaching of the Church. Instead, he considers whether it might be compatible with Catholic beliefs concerning individual judgement, purgatory, resurrection and the Last Judgement.

The book discusses:

  • the concept of a “wandering soul”;
  • accounts reported during certain exorcisms;
  • the supposed distinction between a human soul and a demon;
  • the condition of the soul after death;
  • individual judgement and the Last Judgement;
  • biblical references connected with this question;
  • the writings of the Church Fathers and theologians;
  • prayer for the dead.

A hypothesis examined with caution

The author makes clear that his analysis remains a theological hypothesis and acknowledges that his conclusions could be mistaken.

The book therefore invites reflection and discernment. It does not present the reported accounts as scientifically proven facts or as an official doctrine of the Catholic Church.

Who is this book for?

This book may particularly interest:

  • readers interested in Catholic theology;
  • people with questions about life after death;
  • priests and spiritual advisers;
  • theology students;
  • readers studying exorcism and Christian discernment.

The book presents the author’s personal theological analysis. It does not replace qualified medical, psychological or pastoral support.
