After being confronted with a sex abuse complaint,
Philippine Jesuits are revisiting the rules of the Catholic Bishops’
Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and the Holy See to seek guidance
in handling the case.
The case involves Lucas (not his real name), who once
studied in a school run by the Society of Jesus or the Jesuits, the
biggest male religious order in the Catholic Church. (READ: Part 1: Ex-Jesuit accused of sexual abuse) Lucas said a Jesuit, who eventually left the Society of
Jesus, abused him “a few hundred times” from 1984 to 1987, starting when
he was 15.
