The Scicluna/Ratzinger partnership brought Fr. Marcial Maciel to ground, beginning with launching an investigation effective April 2005 into the Legion of Christ Founder's behavior.
Recent interview of Mons Scicluna re how then Cardinal Ratzinger became increasingly sensitive [2005-2008] to the plight of victims of clergy abuse and how he determined to bring abusers to justice
Here is a July, 2010 video of Mons Scicluna discussing the new norms emanating from the Vatican re handling Priestly Pedophilia
Scicluna personally carried out the investigation beginning in New York with Juan Jose Vaca and continuing in Mexico City with other victims; his findings led to a public reprimand for Maciel and ultimately to an Visitation into the Legion of Christ this year which concluded with a communique on May 1, 2010

Neuhaus Stood by his Man Maciel
Fr. Maciel gives Holy Communion to the author, at the time an ordained LC Priest; "such was the honor of receiving Holy Communion from Nuestro Padre's hand"
You get a glimpse of Neuhaus engaged in discussion;
of what he thought about the sex abuse scandal;
of how he minimized the offense;
how he stauncly stood by Maciel and the Legion impressed by the Glittering Images and Pontifical Approval
