[HIGHLIGHTS] The superior of the Jesuits in Bolivia: "It is time to cut off what does so much harm to the Society of Jesus"

Bernardo Mercado is the provincial in charge of the Society of Jesus in Bolivia. He has already suspended all the former provincials who were still alive and who could have covered up those crimes.

He anticipates that he will initiate an internal investigation into all cases of abuse in the order in the past. EL PAÍS launched in 2018 an investigation of pedophilia in the Spanish Church and has an updated database with all known cases. If you know of any case that has not seen the light, you can write to: abusos@elpais.es.
