Bishop Remigio de la Santa was a royalist prelate who considered that respect and submission to the authorities was part of divine order and that an insurrection was a religious as well as a political matter. He standed out for his intelligence and his active pastoral and administrative role in the dioceses of Panama and La Paz, where he improved the educational, public health and urban and rural facilities because he considered that the responsibility of the Church extended to the political sphere. In 1808, he identified a revolutionary attempt that was dismantled. For his leadership and loyalty, he was arrested on July 16, 1809, in the Revolution of La Paz. He managed to escape to Irupana (Yungas), excommunicated the revolutionaries and organized loyal forces that strategically divided and defeated them. Because of a ruse, the bishop escaped to Cochabamba. He returned to La Paz, fearful of more uprisings. He was unable to differentiate the autonomists (majority) from the independentists (minority).

Background: Although several studies have shown that social capital and social support decreases academic stress (AS), there has been lack of atheoretical model to explain how this occurs. This study aims to verify a model that explains the effect of bonding social capital (BSC) over academic stress psychological symptoms (PsyS), considering the multiple sequential mediation of socio-emotional support (SES), self-efficacy (sEffic) and self-esteem (sEstee). Methods: In a transversal study, 150 undergraduate volunteer students were recruited using non-probabilistic purposive sampling. Data were collected using psychological questionnaires and were processed through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results: Goodness of fit of the models (SRMR = 0.056, 0.057, <HI95) (dULS, dG < HI95), reliability and validity are adequate. The indirect effect of BSC over PsyS (β = −0.196; IC 95% [−0.297, −0.098]) is relevant and significant and is serial mediated by SES and sEffic. Conclusions: From a very precise conceptual definition, a model is generated, within which empirical evidence explains the relationship between BSC and PsyS, emphasizing the role of BSC in the development of personal resources to cope with AS. This can be applied to policies and public health programs that affect these variables.
