Only a month ago, Pope Francis named Scicluna president of a Vatican
board hearing appeals in clerical sex abuse cases. Now he succeeds
Archbishop Paul Cremona, who resigned for health reasons last October at
the age of 68.One of journalism’s most prolific of Vatican insiders and the leading American authority
on the Holy See, John L. Allen, has dubbed Malta’s new archbishop a
Catholic “hero” for his role in successful prosecutions of clerical sex
abusers.
Allen, formerly of the National Catholic Reporter and now writing for The Boston Globe, said Charles Scicluna – appointed on Friday as Malta’s new archbishop – was a highly respected churchman all across the Catholic world, apart from being a “gifted canon lawyer.”
