The Vatican city (AP) -- when Pope Benedict xvi announced last month he transferred his respect sexual crimes prosecutors to Malta become a bishop, the Vatican observers immediately question whether curial hale line documents abuse is to go to a soft - and, if another call a spade a spade pastor be punished too clear, to do his work.
After all, several senior the Vatican officials who ran the Vatican deep-rooted way conflict has recently been transfer face "to promote and delete" move the Vatican trading aftermath from a high-profile criminal justice more than leak Pope files, mixed its financial transparency and its controversial strike on the United States nun's report card.
But as he left eve when accepting a reporter to interview, and the bishop was elected Charles Scicluna insisted that he is the latest casualty in the Vatican for site and philander personnel of the plot. Instead, he said, he got promoted to parish auxiliary coadjutor bishop in his hometown of Malta simply said - "very good" promotional activities - and more key, his hard line will continue to, because this is Benedict xvi position and sexual abuse.
"This is the policy," he told the Associated Press. "This is not Scicluna. This is the Pope. This situation will continue."
In addition, he says, smile in Rome's busy square method in plug a cafe drinking tea, "if you want to remain silent, you don't let his bishop".
Scicluna was appointed as the Vatican promoter of justice in 2002, when the cardinal Joseph · pulling green case push a year later, through the church legislation, requiring a bishop to send all the credible abuse charges to his office review and how to carry out.
La green case, now of the Pope, took over the realization of simple after the bishop of the diocese of the mobile reproach parish, not to prosecute them according to the church law and will continue to do so, unless the Roman intervention.
This year Scicluna joined and seal the relationship between socialist beliefs, clergy sex abuse scandal exploded in the United States, he was called "tsunami", his office was flooded. In 2010 to the outbreak of the scandal, in Europe, forcing the Vatican finally say bishop to the police to report this kind of crime. It has been in Australia lit this month, and prime minister order federal investigation, a series of charges the priest and Catholic hide charges.
In his 10 years of work, Scicluna become in the face of the holy see's efforts to show that this is a serious crime and cover up church class over decades of things. Scicluna, 53 years old, short, circle, affable, with a pair of hands and a nagging smile, don't talk often go out, because most of his work is work behind closed doors, covers the Pope's secret.
But when he did, it carries weight.
"Scicluna sexual abuse, reflected the" zero tolerance "line" veteran Vatican reporter Andre Tornielli recently wrote.
His actions, also often talked about, facts speak louder than words.
"Scicluna do a good job, Juan barca said:" who was the first Scicluna abused in long-delayed interview survey pastor Marshall · MaXiAiEr, now totally embarassed Christian religious bianconeri a lofty, founder of the former pastor order. In the years that followed MaXiAiEr church condemned, "he continued to Sue other similar cases have the same integrity", barca told the Associated Press.
Scicluna not only insists that he will continue to work hard and Vatican abuse problems, but to do so waving the power of the bishop, he thought that his career, his first quarter century mark as a priest last year's work.
"So, I can tell the bishop, listen to my senior bishops, this let me in the Roman Catholic church a qualitative leap, to what I said." He said.
He still has a lot to say to you.
For example, circumstances, Nebraska Lincoln city, where outgoing's Fabian Bruskewitz bishop refused to ten years, participated in the national audit the child protection scheme is passed in 2002 the United States toughening to prevent abuse of the core of the policy. Bruskewitz think, supervision and audit work lays plate have power in his parish.
Bishop James KangLi, his successor, will be in next week.
"I think this is very hasty bishop get rid of help, Vatican bishop meeting advice," Scicluna warning. When asked whether he refers to Nebraska new bishop, severe Scicluna answered and said: "I know what I'm saying."
Ann Barrett, director, online research center of BishopAccountability.org, praise Doyle Scicluna this tough talk, finally put MaXiAiEr. But she added: "only a mechanism to reform as the Vatican's defense and resistance Scicluna mild position justice is considered to be bold."
In fact, in recent years, the civil law already begin to place, the Vatican have so far refused to, Sue bishop and senior church officials cover of the crime of the priests in their care, and not to report to the police suspect abuse.
In Philadelphia, endangering children's helpful mobile big alligator or so, the first American church officials convicted bishop William Lynn June be condemned. In September, Kansas city, Missouri bishop Robert Finn was convicted of don't report suspicious of child abuse pornographic materials to be caught one of his priests.
"These folk send a very important information, Scicluna said." "This is a short every part of the bishop. This part, we take the oath, we be the housekeeper, we protect the flock."
However, in last week's national conference of American episcopature in Baltimore, church leaders Finland failed to follow their own the bishop's civil authorities report suspected child abuse policy no public opinion. He is still a bishop, and conference full participation in. At the same time, present a cardinal Justin Rigali, retired as archbishop of Philadelphia shame, after a failed to repair failure eparchy, by the same grand jury indictment, the defendant XiongDaiLin harm children.
