The Roman Curia is the administrative apparatus of the Holy See and the central governing body of the entire Catholic Church, together with the Pope.
The Cardinal Secretary of State—officially Secretary of State of His Holiness The Pope—presides over the Holy See, usually known as the "Vatican", Secretariat of State, which is the oldest and most important dicastery of the Roman Curia.
The Secretariat of State is the oldest dicastery in the Roman Curia, the government of the Roman Catholic Church. It is headed by the Cardinal Secretary of State, currently Tarcisio Bertone, and performs all the political and diplomatic functions of Vatican City and the Holy See.
The Cardinal Secretary is regarded as being in charge of the political and diplomatic activities of the Holy See and is thus referred to as being the Holy See's "Prime Minister".
He's not receptive of critical questionning of the efficacy of the purported text of the infamous Third Secret of Fatima, as issued to the world by His Holiness in 2001 (41 years after the deadline supposedly divinely mandated by Our Lady herself, in person):

"That's absolutely crazy. Look, are you claiming that the prophecy of Fatima is about the apostasy of the Church of Rome?
That Fatima is a prediction of Rome's transformation into the throne of the Antichrist?
Despite the love Our Lady has for the Pope and the Popes for Our Lady?
Anyone can write books based on conspiracy theories, on biased interpretations. Anybody can take sentences out of context and present them as clues to some supposed plot to avoid divulging the truth and to transmit it in a code that only the initiates can understand.
No, the whole theory you allude to is a fabrication.
And this supposedly factual account is actually the sort of device the Masons used to invent to discredit the Church. I'm surprised that journalists and writers who claim to be Catholic let themselves be taken in."
"Critics such as Italian journalist Antonio Socci and American attorney Christopher Ferrara have written many articles disputing that the full Third Secret has been released. Their argument that there's proof of a second part to the secret include the following:
Bishops working with Pope Pius XII, Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI have commented that the text was written on one sheet of paper rather than four sheets;
Lúcia stated that she wrote the message in the form of a signed letter to the Bishop of Leiria;
Lúcia's text contains words attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary;
The full secret contains information about the Apocalypse, a great apostasy, and Satanic infiltration of the Catholic Church."
