Una cartograf�a de los abusos en la Iglesia a trav�s del revelador diario de Alfonso Pedrajas, un jesuita espa�ol que vivi� en Bolivia.

«Hice da�o a mucha gente ( a 85?), a demasiados . Con apenas dieciocho a�os, el sacerdote espa�ol Alfonso Pedrajas, tambi�n llamado padre Pica, se hizo misionero jesuita para ayudar a los m�s pobres en Bolivia, pa�s en el que trabaj� como profesor hasta su muerte en 2009. No obstante, detr�s de una imagen de religioso misericordioso se escond�a un depredador que agredi� sexualmente a los peque�os a los que hab�a jurado proteger, en especial a los que acogi� en el internado Juan XXIII en Cochabamba.

Todo apuntaba a que sus cr�menes acabar�an sepultados por el silencio y el tiempo, pero en 2020 su sobrino Fernando encontr� en el desv�n de la casa familiar una copia del diario donde el padre Pica confesaba todos los horrores que hab�a causado. Tras intentar sin �xito denunciarlo a las autoridades y a la congregaci�n, se lo entreg� al periodista Julio N��ez Monta�a, que investigaba casos similares en el diario El Pa�s. Como una br�jula, el material llev� al reportero hasta Bolivia.

De aquel viaje surgieron los honestos testimonios de varias v�ctimas, las declaraciones de algunos jesuitas que trataron de encubrir los casos y la actitud del Gobierno y la fiscal�a bolivianos despu�s de que la publicaci�n del reportaje period�stico provocase un terremoto medi�tico y pol�tico. Esta es, pues, una emocionante y valiosa cr�nica de aquel viaje de descubrimiento y reparaci�n, un tapiz en el que las historias de agresores y v�ctimas, as� como la del propio autor, se entrecruzan y dibujan una realidad que revela c�mo la Iglesia cat�lica permiti� 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 fa�ade 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 N��ez Monta�a, who had reported on similar cases for the Spanish newspaper El Pa�s.

N��ez Monta�a 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, N��ez Monta�a 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.

Julio Núñez Montaña (Casar de Cáceres, 1990) es periodista en El País desde 2018, año en que, junto con su compañero Íñigo Domínguez, comenzó a investigar sobre pederastia en la Iglesia.
