i was reading through the news as i usually do and i came across this story about the church, http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...can_archives_4

the quote i have questions about is this one

"Now the Vatican is taking the extraordinary step of opening part of its secret archives ahead of schedule, in a bid to silence attacks against a man it is considering for sainthood."





to this i ask, why would a chruch have secret archives? they are not a government with secret operations going on, they are not some financial institution trying to cover up shady economic practices.....so what are they trying to hide?

evidence that there is no god? What? i just do not understand what they feel like they have to hide from everyone, and you know if its something they are keeping a secret it can't be good...what secret really is?

 

I think the writer kinda made up the secret part. I pretty sure the only actual secret archives are what are documented from "holy visions".

 

everyone is hiding something. Religion and politics are the 2 biggest cover up artist.

 

no, there REALLY are all kinds of hidden church documents...from entire bible texts who knows what else


the church is hiding some horriable secrets, of that you can be sure of

 

And where have you heard this? I've done a lot of reesearch and you just need to know where to look it's not all secret.

 

Of course the vatican is hiding stuff. Ever seen the movie Stigmata? The whole thing about those writings from Jesus that the vatican destroyed is based in real events. Proly not the whole girl in NY bleeding for no reason thing tho.
