Overview

Una cartografía de los abusos en la Iglesia a través del revelador diario de Alfonso Pedrajas, un jesuita español que vivió en Bolivia.

«Hice daño a mucha gente (¿a 85?), a demasiados». Con apenas dieciocho años, el sacerdote español Alfonso Pedrajas, también llamado padre Pica, se hizo misionero jesuita para ayudar a los más pobres en Bolivia, país en el que trabajó como profesor hasta su muerte en 2009. No obstante, detrás de una imagen de religioso misericordioso se escondía un depredador que agredió sexualmente a los pequeños a los que había jurado proteger, en especial a los que acogió en el internado Juan XXIII en Cochabamba.

Todo apuntaba a que sus crímenes acabarían sepultados por el silencio y el tiempo, pero en 2020 su sobrino Fernando encontró en el desván de la casa familiar una copia del diario donde el padre Pica confesaba todos los horrores que había causado. Tras intentar sin éxito denunciarlo a las autoridades y a la congregación, se lo entregó al periodista Julio Núñez Montaña,que investigaba casos similares en el diario El País. Como una brújula, el material llevó al reportero hasta Bolivia.

De aquel viaje surgieron los honestos testimonios de varias víctimas, las declaraciones de algunos jesuitas que trataron de encubrir los casos y la actitud del Gobierno y la fiscalía bolivianos después de que la publicación del reportaje periodístico provocase un terremoto mediático y político. Esta es, pues, una emocionante y valiosa crónica de aquel viaje de descubrimiento y reparación, un tapiz en el que las historias de agresores y víctimas, así como la del propio autor, se entrecruzan y dibujan una realidad que revela cómo la Iglesia católica permitió que estos delitos se perpetuaran con total impunidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An expose of clerical abuse as revealed in the shocking diary of Alfonso Pedrajas, a Spanish Jesuit stationed in Bolivia.

“I hurt a lot of people (85?). Too many.” At the age of just eighteen, Spanish priest Alfonso Pedrajas, known as Padre Pica, became a Jesuit missionary to serve the poor in Bolivia, where he taught until his death in 2009. Behind the façade of a humble clergyman, however, hid a predator who sexually abused the young people he had sworn to protect, especially students at the Juan XXIII School in Cochabamba.

The crimes seemed destined to remain unreported, but in 2020 Pedrajas’s nephew, Fernando, found a copy of his priest’s diary in the attic of the family home. In it, Padre Pica confessed the horrors he had inflicted on the charges in his care. After failing to receive a satisfactory response from the authorities and the Church, Fernando contacted Julio Núñez Montaña, who had reported on similar cases for the Spanish newspaper El País.

Núñez Montaña followed the story to Bolivia, where he collected testimony from the victims and Padre Pica’s fellow Jesuits, several of whom who admitted to covering up the facts. His articles unleashed a media and political firestorm, leading to a series of prosecutions in Bolivia. In this moving chronicle, Núñez Montaña interweaves his role in the investigation with the stories of the perpetrators and their victims, revealing the Catholic Church’s complicity in allowing the abuse to continue with impunity.
