An Ufologist and researcher of ''paranormal subjects'', he has written a number of books on the relationship between religion and extraterrestrial beings, and has been a speaker in several international UFO congresses in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. He is also a contributor to a number of parascientific magazines, such as ''Mundo Desconocido'' (''Unknown World''),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mundo Desconocido )〕 ''Karma 7'' and ''Más allá'' (''Beyond'')〔Más Allá de la Ciencia. In its first issue there was a very controversial article from the author about ''El informe Matrix'' (''The Matrix Report'').〕 among others. He has also appeared in a number of TV and radio shows dedicated to these subjects. == Biography == He was born in Carballino (Ourense Province, Galicia, Spain), in 1923, in the bosom of a deeply religious family (his brother was a Jesuit and his sister was a nun). When he was five his family moved to Orense, and it is there where he started his first studies, attending primary school at the''Saint Vicent Paul'' nuns and secondary school at the ''Institute Otero Pedrayo''. At the age of 16 he joins the Jesuit Order and is ordained priest in 1953, in Santander, Spain. He was a member of the jesuit order for thirty years. He lived in a number of countries in the Americas from 1947, in his role as Jesuit, teaching ''History of the Church'' in the ''Interdiocese Seminary'' of Santo Domingo, and founding the ''Movement of the Christian Working Youth'' in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was the national vice-assesor of this movement in La Habana. He studied humanities in Salamanca, philosophy in Universidad de Comillas (Santander),〔 theology in Alma College in San Francisco (California), ascetics in Mont Laurier (Canada), psychology in the ''University of Los Angeles'' (California) and in Fordham University of New York. Since the 1950s, his critical position on the postures of the Catholic Church and the publication of some books led him to jail and to the expulsion from countries like Cuba and Venezuela, and also to his exclusion from the Jesuit Order in 1969. Since the 1970s he has dedicated himself to research in the field of parapsychology, in particular the UFO phenomenon and its relation to religion and human history. He has published a number of books on the subject, and founded the ''Mexican Institute of Paranormal Studies'', of which he presided over the ''First Great International Congress'' organized by the former. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salvador Freixedo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
