Bad Blood Page #5

to have lunch with us

one of these days.

You're the only person in the village

I feel like socializing with

and getting to know a little better.

There's no shortage

of good people here, Doctor...

Please, don't embarrass me again,

you know very well what I mean.

So... tomorrow then?

And why not?

How do you manage

to convince them

that one thing is faith and another

is superstition?

I always remember them

that faith is heard in the heart

and that faith

is enough to combat fear.

But what fears, after all?

Fears of what?

Usually, of all that's unknown.

Are you saying that people

who understand that kind of argument

stop believing

in superstitions for good?

I think blind belief in superstition

is proof of the failure of religion,

especially of the Catholic religion.

Now the conversation is getting

too intellectual for my head...

There's no harm at all

in analyzing the status quo...

The Church neither rejects,

nor can it reject, progress...

new approaches.

No, Father. I believe

you're speaking for yourself,

but don't tell me that the Church

is interested in modernism!

First of all, Father Cruz

can stop being defensive,

with the official speech!

And he still didn't explain

how far they reach

these superstitions, or beliefs,

or whatever you want to call them!

It doesn't help to lock the doors

or shut the possessed

in closed rooms.

The Devil enters and leaves

through the keyhole.

To prevent the Devil attacking...

lie face-down,

to protect the heart...

Don't forget the 'Tardo'...

What 'Tardo'?

The 'Tardo' is the Devil

in the form of a cat.

It urinates on the legs

of young women in heat...

This conversation is only to show

what kind of things

people believe here.

Despite the secular presence

of the Catholic Church...

Perhaps because of just that...

No offence intended to my guest...

The problem is there's not much

Father Cruz can do about it.

I've got a better idea.

You can judge for yourselves...

- You could take part in a session.

- A session?

- Spiritualist.

- Spiritualist?

It's also part of local folklore.

But I don't think the Church

is to blame for that any more...

Hold on!

What's happening?

You complain people are superstitious

and you organize sances?

To me, it's fun.

And there are always those

who believe, at the time.

Let's try it!

I just hope you didn't

get a bad impression...

On the contrary...

It's actually fun to find out about

places so full of superstitions...

Don't you think, Father?

- I'm sorry, I didn't hear you...

- Lena, your son's just arrived.

What a surprise!

- Little sister...

- I've missed you!

So, it's agreed, then, Professor.
