Because he’s always looking down in the mouth.

Still is very much involved.

From Wikipedia:

As Promoter of Justice [in the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican], Scicluna was credited with constructing the 2010 universal norms that extended the Church’s statutes of limitations on reporting cases of sexual abuse and expanded the category of ecclesial crimes to include sexual misconduct with a disabled adult and possession of child pornography. He provided a brief history of the activities of the CDF with respect to abuse cases in a June 2010 interview.

In 2005, [Cardinal] Ratzinger [his head at the Congregation] tasked Scicluna with collecting testimony about the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, Rev. Marcial Maciel, amid allegations of abuse.

At a prayer service for priests in St Peter’s Basilica in May 2010, Scicluna addressed the clerical vocation and said:

The child becomes the model for the disciple who wants to be “great” in the kingdom of heaven…. How many are the sins in the church for arrogance, for insatiable ambition, the tyranny and injustice of those who take advantage of ministry to advance their careers, to show off, for reasons of futile and miserable reasons of vanity! … Accepting the kingdom of God like a child is to accept with a pure heart, with docility, abandonment, confidence, enthusiasm, and hope. All this reminds us of the child. All this makes the child precious in God’s eyes, and in the eyes of a true disciple of Jesus.

He went on to quote the gospels on the corruption of the young–”Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea” (Mark 9:42)–and then quoted Gregory the Great’s exegesis of that verse’s meaning for priests:

Mystically expressed in the millstone is the hard and tedious rhythm of secular life, while the deep sea signifies the most terrible curse. Thus, after having taken a profession of holiness, anyone who destroys others through words or deed would have been better off if their misdeeds had caused them to die in secular dress, rather than, through their holy office, being imposed as an example for others in their sins. Without a doubt, if they had fallen all by themselves, their suffering in Hell would be easier to bear.

Addressing a conference on sexual abuse held in February 2012 at the Pontifical Gregorian University, he explained that the CDF needed the support of the entire church hierarchy for its procedures to have their intended impact: “No strategy for the prevention of child abuse will ever work without commitment and accountability.” He said that “the deliberate denial of known facts, and the misplaced concern that the good name of the institution should somehow enjoy absolute priority” were “enemies of truth” and reflected “a deadly culture of silence” which he characterized as a form of omertà, the word used to describe the Mafia’s code of silence to protect criminal conspiracies in the face of civil and criminal authority. He described the pastoral needs of those abused, “the radical need of the victim to be heard attentively, to be understood and believed, to be treated with dignity as he or she plods on the tiresome journey of recovery and healing”, and highlighted the special care needed by those who find themselves unable to recover, “who seem to have identified ‘self’ simply with ‘having been victims'”. He told reporters that bishops needed to adhere to church law and CDF’s standards: “It is a crime in canon law to show malicious or fraudulent negligence in the exercise of one’s duty. I’m not saying that we should start punishing everybody for any negligence in his duties. But what I want to say is that this is not acceptable. It is not acceptable that when there are set standards, people do not follow the set standards.”

She must have been screwed up enough before she met him, to have found her emotional and professional needs answered by this one person.

I don’t see her as the miskina at all. It’s a good measure of fame these people are after, and notoriety is a replacement for that: negative recognition replaces positive when not available.

No. I rather see her egging him on in his ways, for her own perverse gain. He must be a walkover.
