Archbishop Charles Scicluna of Malta is a prominent figure in the Vatican's battle against child abuse within the Church. Known for leading investigations into notable cases, including that of Marcial Maciel, Scicluna returned to a vital role in the Vatican in 2019. Appointed as Adjunct Secretary of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, he is tasked with addressing clerical pedophilia. He emphasizes the need for the next pope to consider victim cries and navigate the inherent tensions within the Church's evolution and reforms initiated by Pope Francis.
"Scicluna is seen as the nemesis of abusive priests, a relentless hunter of pedophiles and their protectors within the clergy."
"He warns that the cries of the victims cannot be ignored."
"The new pope will have to be honest with himself and express his vision of the Church."
"Every pope has been a symbol of these tensions; a prophet faithful to the Gospel will always be a sign of contradictions."
