Mgr Charles Scicluna, a lead figure in the Vatican’s investigations into child abuse by clerics, has been appointed Malta’s Auxiliary Bishop.
An official announcement is expected to be made by the Roman Curia today according to Italian newspaper La Stampa, which broke the news yesterday taking some local Church officials by surprise.
The Vatican media office would not confirm the appointment, saying its policy was only to discuss official nominations. Similarly, a Malta Curia spokesman said he had no information on the nomination.
