Spanish Jesuits Recognize Decades of Sexual Abuse

The first exhaustive investigation of denunciations of sexual abuse for the sake of a religious order in Spain has identified 81 minor editions and 37 adult abuse victims per 96 Jesuits, a figure much higher than publicly known cases has now.

The associations of victims praise the revelation, but criticize the hecho for not revealing the names of the abusers or their encroachers. It is also important that criminal proceedings are instituted against the abusive poachers who are living and have a detailed compensation plan for the victims.

“It’s a time when it’s in the good direction, but it’s very short,” he said, referring to the voice of the Robada Childhood Association, Miguel Hurtado, and The Associated Press

The Jesuits are members of the Society of Jesus, a Catholic order founded in 1540 by Ignacio Loyola. Sit op die web, the orden regenta 68 schools with 75,000 students in Spain, media dean of universities and other higher education centers.

The Society of Jesus in Spain announced in its journals that the internal investigation confirmed that 96 members had been sexually abused since 1927, the year of the first case registered. For 65 days, the victims are less than edad. Without embarrassment, it is reported that the accused constitute open the 1% of the 8,782 admitted members in the order during the last 93 years.

The Papa Francisco, the first pontificate Jesuit, has tried to raise awareness in the Church in all over the world about the problem of clerical abuse and has tried to make it responsible for the members of the church that he encounters.

As well as succeeding with other religious ordinances specializing in education, it informs that Jesuit schools are converting into rich quotas for the depressing cures, to those who are summoned by a constant number of victims. The Mayor of abusers has tenacious places in the schools or estaban related to them, the Jesuits said.

Only 17 of the abusers of minor incidents are living and living, the 13 who are incarcerated with the order have been convicted or charged with the results of criminal investigations or internal and all are rehabilitated in their contact with children, say the informant.

Cases are registered as derivative of denunciations, testimonials and periodic information and from declarations of abuse to violations.

The Spanish diary El País dijo que in its investigation of the cases of sexual abuse by clerics since 1986, solo ocho of the 123 presuntos authors eran jesuitas hasta that the knowledge of the order is known. The revelation, says the diary, “is a lame date to return to the known statistical cases concerning the abuse of minors in the Spanish Catholic Church”.

He was informed that there were 19 cases of “rumors” where he had not found evidence that would allow serious denunciations and that 15 of the accused had committed absurdity.

The reconciliation of the Spanish Jesuits is significant, given that in general the religious orders have escaped the criminal investigations, national searches and voluntary revelations of sexual abuse, which have been concentrated in the courses of the dioceses.

Religious Organizations in the United States are obliged to disclose information about the offenders in their files as part of civil proceedings or bankruptcy proceedings. Others have voluntarily done so, although there is a lot of pressure on the most recent scandal in the United States, in 2018, many orders have been dropped and information from the United States will be revealed on the basis of its orders.

The great religious orders operate in many ways for the sake of the diocesan structure of the Catholic Church and respond to its superior proposals, which it responds directly to the Vatican. For this reason, there are usually no standards or recommendations of his national conferences of bishops, which in recent years have tried to control the problem, but the United States has agreed to publish the numbers of the accused.

Para Hurtado — the same as a victim of abuse when he was a member of a Catholic juvenile group in the north of Spain—, the identification of the victims and necessities because of the harassment he inflicted on the accused clergy to the exterior as missionaries.

“One more time, the information of the impression that the abusers were surpassed by casualty, for the sake of safety, as a result of an institutional policy of implementation implemented over the decades,” said the activist.

The Jesuits will present their conclusions as part of an internal investigation of two years as the act of restraint. Recognize that it is a “limited study” and that “the reality of abuse abuses in the past in an insufficient way, which contributes to generating more pain”.

“Our objective is the creation of a safe entourage in our works and areas and a fundamental part of this step to make progress through the past”, said Antonio España, Superior Provincial of the Jesuits.

Here is a new plan to make its schools and schools “safe neighborhoods for minors and vulnerable people”, the order that has raised the training of its clergy and employees to prevent abuse and create a space where the possible present can be sus denuncias.

También han elaborado normas para responsa a casopechosos como parte de “un cambio de cultura profundo”, dijeron los jesuitas.

The order recognizes, the one is unusual, that in some cases it helps economically or for therapy, although it does not consider them a legal compensation.

The Society of Jesus says that a protocol of reparations is being drawn up with the Spanish laws.

“In no case do we intend to compensate the survivor, but we would like a response to make it possible,” he said.

In the United States, the northeast section of the Jesuit pagan in 2011 is currently undergoing major repairs, 166 million dollars to 500 victims, many of the original populations that are experiencing violations and abuses in schools and parishes Alaska.
