José Antonio Fortea Cucurull (born in Barbastro, Spain, October 11, 1968) also known as Father Fortea is a Spanish writer, and a Roman Catholic priest of the diocese of Alcalá de Henares (Madrid).

[2] His father was a businessman and did not expect him to become a priest, but to take charge of the family business since he was his only son.

Father Fortea acknowledges that up until his adolescence, religion lacked importance for him and that the concept of sin seemed to be an anachronism.

After looking for guidance into this new path, he took the advice of a priest who told him to join the seminary, just to rule out any doubt.

Years later, and with a greater scope of knowledge in the topic, Summa Daemoniaca was published.

This book was followed by a supplemental publication called Exorcística which provides new theoretical resources and practical cases.

In 2011, he travelled to Europe and South America with Norwegian documentary filmmaker Fredrik Horn Akselsen to make Eksoristen i det 21. århundre (The Exorcist in the 21st Century)secolo),[3] a documentary that shows Fortea grappling with exorcisms, first aired on NRK TV in 2012.
