Why does the Vatican keep so many documents vaulted and secret to the public?

You need to remember where and when the Catholic church came into being. They did not want others to rely on themselves for their salvation. What prophet is there in that? Also, many of the rituals and rites came straight from other more pagan societies. This explains why they pray to idols, hold images holy and can exercise demons. These rites and rituals are nearly identical. They wanted to involve and convert the pagan societies so including similar ritual made the conversions easier for the pagans to swallow. Too drastic a change would have been rejected.

I went to a lecture a few years ago. This professor was lecturing in ancient civilizations and a guy from Peru showed up. He was one of their librarians. Books are being released as I am writing this. Remember that big rich establishments control the biggest publishing companies. The following nations had libraries: Timbuktu, Egypt, India--before the last large global catastrophe. What is stored in stone is called primitive art. The main storehouse--the Library of Alexandria was burnt. The Vatican has many. Hint. Hint--The Torah in the Bible is the world's greatest storeroom of knowledge. There are over 1 million different codes and theorems. When applied to specific texts and prophecies, TRUTH; THE BIG T word that all governments, religious institutions and humankind are afraid of, will eventually reveal all.

Boaz.

1. Diplomatic files. These are confidential for many years, but eventually released.

2. "Personnel files". These are kept confidential until the parties concerned are cozily in their graves.

3. Working documents, initial drafts of official documents. These are not released until an appropriate period of time has passed.

The Vatican is one of the premiere archives in the world --one that is fragile, and easily abused. Only genuine scholars are allowed access.

Everything in the Vatican eventually becomes public.

Are you speaking with regard to the secrets and techniques of Fatima? (1900's) a million - The Russian Revolution 2 - WWII 3 - This one become stored secret (nicely stored from the first public besides. It become stated that each new pope become instructed approximately it whilst they got here to place of work) yet actual released in 2000. It stated a guy in white become to fall in a hail of bullets. This become translated because of the fact the tried assassination of the pope interior the early 1980's. As to what different secrets and techniques they have have been given hidden away - nicely i could guess that they harm the Catholic ethos or could panic human beings, so are stored hidden.

The Vatican insists it's hiding nothing in its vaults. Since its documents are not public information, it has no obligation to share what it may have with anyone.

Peace.

I have found very few things that are "secret" to be dignified, worthy and honorable

usually a secret is so because it's unethical and points to double standard as opposed to the message of purity and decency

many times as long as there is a secret, abuse and injustice occurs until it's exposed to the light of truth and communication

Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.

most of the documants are hermetically sealed because they are so delicate. nd they will let you in to see them if you are doing your master's thesis on something pertaining to one of them. Others are heretical to the christian faith. Besides, most are in ancient languages, and you wouldn't understand them any way.

they hide the truth and bury it and will never let people access the truth ,since the religion itself had its foundation in false and fiction .So forget about all such things and live the life your way.

It's a business just like any other.
