The Secretariat of State is the prime office of the Holy See, and of all the dicasteries within the Vatican, it works most closely with the Pope.
Since the Secretariat has so influence at the Holy See, it is no accident that many officials from the Secretariat move up to positions in charge of their own dicasteries.
Moreover, the Secretary of State has considerable influence over other Vatican offices because the prefect of a Congregation does not choose his secretary or undersecretary; they are chosen for him, and they are chosen by the Secretary of State.

 IN DEFENSE OF FATHER GRUNER: A SUMMARY
As the apostolate’s size and influence grew, it came to be targeted for suppression by members of the Vatican Secretariat of State, who regard the specific consecration of Russia as a diplomatic embarrassment that would run counter to the Secretariat of State’s policy of Ostpolitik.
In 1989 the Vatican Secretariat of State began to "activate" the Congregation for the Clergy as its tool in the suppression of Father Gruner’s apostolate.
This letter was clearly the product of coercion by the Vatican Secretariat of State: it was issued only days after a face-to-face meeting in Avellino during which the Bishop told Father Gruner that he had no grievances against him and that he should return to Canada—where he had been with the Bishop’s permission since 1978.
