The Bishopric of the Canary Islands appoints two new priests in charge of carrying out these rituals in Gran Canaria. The Church is not transparent regarding these appointments or this ritual on the islands.
Priest Rafael Hernández Urigüen, from Bilbao, doctor in Theology, graduate in Philosophy and Letters and former professor at the University of Navarra, says there is demand. Father Fortea, considered the most visible face of this practice in Spain, does not agree to participate either.
