For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy has regenerated us to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

1 Peter 1:3

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Has the Bible been distorted, altered, amended, or falsified?

Answer: The books of the Old Testament were written approximately between 1400 and 400 BC. BC, while the books of the New Testament are from 40 to 90 AD. AD Therefore, from the time when the Bible was written, from 3400 to 1900 years have passed. During this time, the original manuscripts were lost. They probably no longer exist. Additionally, throughout this time, parts of the Bible were copied over and over again. Copies were copied from copies. In light of this, can we still trust the Bible?

As the Bible says, when God initially moved people to write His Word, it was inspired and flawless (2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 17:17). However, the Bible never says this about copies of original manuscripts. No matter how carefully scribes work, no one is perfect. As a result, minor inconsistencies arose between the various copies of the Holy Scriptures. Of the many thousands of Greek and Hebrew manuscripts that have survived to this day, not one was similar to the other until in the 16th century. were not invented printing presses.

However, any impartial student of the documents will agree that the Bible has been preserved in an exceptional manner over the centuries. In terms of content, copies of the Bible dated to the 14th century. AD, almost identical to copies from the III century. AD When were the scrolls found? Dead Sea, researchers were amazed to see how similar they were to other copies of the Old Testament, even though the scrolls they found were hundreds of years older than any previously known document. Even many hardened skeptics and critics of the Bible admit that it was transmitted through the centuries more accurately than any other ancient document.

There is absolutely no evidence that the Bible has been corrected, altered, or falsified in any systematic way. With the help of an array of biblical manuscripts, it is quite easy to recognize any attempts to distort the Holy Scriptures. No key doctrine of the Bible is harmed or called into question because of minor differences that exist between manuscripts.

Again, the question is: Can we trust the Bible? Absolutely! God has kept His Word despite the unconscious mistakes and deliberate attacks of human beings. We can be completely confident that the Bible we have today is the same Bible originally written. The Bible is God's Word and we can trust it....

4.7k (44 per week)

The history of mankind has known many examples when secret knowledge, rare artifacts and documents, under various pretexts, were taken to the territory of the Vatican, where they are kept in underground caches to this day. The Holy See has a monopoly on “secret materials” concerning the origin and development of humanity.

What is the Vatican hiding?

The shelves in the Vatican archives have a total length of 85 km. In each room and on each shelf, documents are distributed strictly by category. For example, the crimes of the Inquisition are located in a hall called the “hall of heretics,” and the secrets of empresses of all times, such as Marie Antoinette’s suicide note, are collected in the “women’s hall.”
The Holy See especially carefully protects information concerning the history of the papacy. For thousands of years, the rise of the pontiff to power was accompanied by intrigues, vices, greed and even murders, which are not usually talked about. Many popes during their reign used methods that were far from Christian to achieve their goals. Behind the walls of the city-state lies terrible evidence of the unlawful rise to power, when the lives of hundreds of innocent people were destroyed.
It is believed that ancient manuscripts collected in the Vatican may shed light on the most harrowing and high-profile trials of the Inquisition or clarify real reasons, which prompted the organization of bloody crusades. In secret storage facilities, with limited access, there are original manuscripts of famous scientists and thinkers.
The Vatican owns letters from the Russian Tsar with complaints against the Sultan of Turkey, documents on which Galileo’s signature is under the verdict of the Inquisition, evidence of the awarding of Amadeus Mozart by the Papal Order of the Golden Spur. A real sensation was the discovery of details of the trial of the philosopher, poet and Dominican monk Giordano Bruno, whose death the church considered one of the saddest episodes, although it has not yet officially rehabilitated him.
Manuscripts dating back to the first centuries of Christianity are considered priceless. Access to them at all times has been limited to a limited number of people, although they contain unique data transmitted to humanity from people personally acquainted with Jesus Christ. It was decided in 325 at the Council of Nicaea to hide the true meaning of the scriptures from everyone.

Secrets of the Vatican

The investigation of Vatican secrets by professors from around the world causes constant indignation on the part of the Catholic clergy. Ordinary believers are accustomed to the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures and are wary of new information that can shake not only their faith, but also turn inside out the facts that took place in the past. Permission for a partial study of the archive was given in 1880 by Pope Leo XIII, however, only a few had access to the materials.
According to one of the versions set forth in the ancient texts of John the Theologian, the Lord God decided to remove from people’s memory everything connected with the past and sent a gas to the Earth, inhaling which a person began life from scratch, not knowing about grief, troubles and the influence of the Demiurge (Satan) . And only Noah and his family took refuge from this in a tightly sealed temple and became the only one who remembered everything.
Among the documents recently presented to the general public is a parchment scroll with as many as 80 seals on it! This is a letter from Henry VIII to Pope Clement VII, where the monarch stated a request for a divorce from his wife in order to subsequently marry Anne Boleyn. The paper opaquely hints that if the king's petition is not granted, serious problems await the clergy.
The trial of the mystical order of the Templars is preserved on a 60-meter-long scroll, which indicates that during the trial 231 testimonies were given against the Templars. In total for lately About 100 rare documents were put on public display, shedding light on many events, but researchers believe that this is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

Secrets of the Apostolic Library

The Vatican Apostolic Library was founded in 1475 by Pontiff Sixtus IV. Today, the book depository contains more than 1.5 million publications, 150 thousand manuscripts, 300 thousand medals, 8,300 first-print books and 100 thousand engravings.

Here are collected the secrets of all times and peoples: Jewish, Greek, Arabic, ancient Syrian and Egyptian, Latin and Coptic scripts on jurisprudence, literature, history and philosophy, art, music and architecture. The manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci are hidden from people behind seven seals; according to rumors, their publication will have irreparable consequences, undermining the prestige of church teaching.
The mysterious books of the Toltecs, the ancient Indians, are shrouded in myths and legends, and the only thing that is known is that the books really exist. Countless hypotheses have been put forward regarding their contents, including the fact that they contain reliable information about the arrival of aliens on Earth in ancient times.
Some are sure that the treasures of the Vatican include the book of Count Cagliostro, in which he describes in detail a fantastic recipe for rejuvenation, reminiscent of modern Hindu techniques, thanks to which a person gains a second youth and can live fully for more than 150 years.
The most interesting are the biblical prophecies, engraved in the form of hieroglyphs on tablets that contain predictions about the fate of the universe, including the First and Second World Wars, Armageddon and the devil's plans to plunge the world into chaos through epidemics, promiscuous sex, drug addiction and alcohol and moral decline.
The Vatican Library is a magnet for scientists, historians, bibliographers and specialists from other fields of life. By working with its funds, you can reveal many mysteries and secrets, but access to the archives is limited - 150 researchers are allowed here per day, so it will take at least 1,250 years to study all the treasures.

The ancient walls of this sacred state saw not only the light of faith and hope, but sometimes darkness even happened to make a nest here. Lies, betrayal and envy did not escape this place. Indifference - instead of love, deceit - instead of wisdom, pride - instead of humility, intolerance and greed - all this was also there. And history will not forget this...

The entire history of the Vatican has been riddled with controversy and mystery. And, despite the apparent spirituality of the papal state, here, too, passions were in full swing, intrigues were in full swing. After all for a long time The Catholic Church was closely connected with Rome.

It is about the Vatican that terrible legends are told, legends about the punishing hand of the Inquisition, which terrified people in the Middle Ages.

During the Roman Empire, Christianity slowly gained strength, and throughout the territory religious communities tried to seize power. But only the Roman community succeeded, and since then it has turned not only into the center of a religious movement, but also into a powerful political force. Until the nineteenth century, all other provinces endured a state of siege, military trials took place, and people were sent to prison or exile.

One of the legends associated with the Vatican says that the founder of the Roman community was none other than the disciple of Jesus Christ - the Apostle Peter. The chronicles that have survived to this day also speak in favor of this fact. And although today no one can say whether this was true or whether in this way the Roman community was trying to emphasize its superiority by being close to the founder of the religion of Christianity, there is still a story that Peter actually preached and lived in Rome. According to legend, his grave is located exactly on the hill where the Vatican is located today. And later the Church of St. Peter was erected there.

Another legend says that Rome was the city that for the longest time prevented the spread of the Christian religion in the state. And that is why the blood of the great martyrs was shed here and Peter himself was killed here. Therefore, the Roman community was simply obliged to take responsibility before posterity for atonement for the sins of its citizens. And that is why the Vatican was created.

But the most amazing, and at the same time very sad secret about the Vatican is the story of Pope John VIII, or rather, the pope. In the history of Catholics there is a very strange and very unpleasant fact for believers, which today in the Vatican is considered fiction, but no one still knows exactly what really happened. According to legend, in the ninth century, for several years the papal throne was occupied by... a woman. It must be said that in those days a woman was considered the offspring of the devil.

So, according to legend, a certain Christian missionary, traveling around the world, acquired a daughter, Agnes. However, taking this girl with him everywhere for a missionary was far from the most worthy occupation at that time, and therefore, dressing her in a man’s dress, he made her his first assistant. Agnes studied well, but one day her father was killed. For this teenage girl the best option to survive was to remain a boy. She wandered around the world like this for several years and eventually settled in a monastery near the city of Fulda, taking the name Johann.

She stood out greatly among her brothers, but at the age of sixteen, having fallen in love with a monk, she ran away with her lover to France. But on the way he died, and Agnes, remaining under the name Johann, began to new life. She arrived in Rome and began to slowly advance to the upper tier of the clergy, and in 855, after the death of Pontiff Leo IV, she ascended the papal throne. And, it is quite possible that no one would have found out about the true sex of the pope, but Agnes made a mistake: she became pregnant. She had contractions during procession, which ended in death for both the child and the pope.

Also the most fascinating mystery of the Vatican is the location of the tomb of the Apostle Peter. It is with her that she is very connected interesting story, which happened quite recently, in the middle of the last century.

So, on February 10, 1939, when Pope Pius XI died, a huge number of believers gathered in the huge Cathedral of St. Peter, who, in a single mournful impulse, fervently prayed for the repose of the soul of the pontiff.

At the same time, under the nave of the cathedral, in the crypt, work was in full swing. Workers were removing marble slabs from the dungeon floor. But after digging about twenty centimeters, the spades again stumbled upon the slabs. Moreover, behind the wall there was a fairly spacious niche. And since the workers knew that the cathedral was built on stilts on loose soil, they had doubts: whether to continue the excavations or not, since as a result they could upset the balance of the entire building.

But what were these workers doing in the dungeon, and on such a day? It turned out that they were fulfilling the will of the deceased pope, whom at that moment crowds of believers were seeing off on his last journey. Just the day before, the will of Pius XI, drawn up by him in his own hand, was opened, where he wished to be buried under the southern wall of the ancient dungeon, near Pius X, close to Peter’s “Confessional”, where, according to the legends, the tomb of the first disciple was located savior

The manager of Vatican affairs, Cardinal Pacelli, who in a few days was to take the papal rank and the name Pius XII, ordered the preparation of burial in the bequeathed place. And although the architects warned that there was unlikely to be enough space for a grave, the cardinal ordered the floor behind the wall in the dungeon to be removed to free up the necessary space.

A priest stood near the workers, carefully examining the garbage that the workers were clearing out. His name was Ludwig Kaas. German by nationality, Kaas held the title of doctor and was a professor of church history. Once upon a time, his dad instructed him to explore the dungeon under the cathedral, so for five years Kaas explored this dungeon by inch.

The spacious niche that was discovered under the floor suggested that this might be Peter's tomb.

The secret of the tomb of the Apostle Peter possessed Pacelli's heart and soul all his life. When the conclave elected him pope, and he became Pius XII, the first thing he did was go down into the dungeon to look at the sacred slab with his own eyes. The pontiff, after much deliberation, gave an order that his predecessors were afraid to even voice: he ordered excavations to begin under the cathedral, where, in his opinion, the tomb of the apostle should have been.

It must be said that the pontiff took a great risk. After all, if it turned out that there was nothing there, and Saint Peter was not in the Vatican, then this would become evidence that would completely refute the sacred legend.

It turned out that the slabs that the workers stumbled upon were nothing more than the foundation of the floor of the first basilica, which was erected by Emperor Constantine at the beginning of the fourth century. And traditions say that the altar of the basilica stands just above the tomb of Peter, and when the basilica of Constantine itself was destroyed, a cathedral was built in its place, the one that has survived to this day. And the altar was installed in the same place, having cut a window in the floor - a confessional, from which believers could look at the tomb of St. Peter, hidden deep underground. But this was strange, to say the least, since no one could know for sure whether the relics of St. Peter were there or not.

No one knew about the excavations: the “masons” were obliged to remain silent and not tell anyone about the work, not even their household members. But after the war, the world still learned about the excavations.

In his speeches, Pius XII hinted in a rather veiled form that the excavations would bring some kind of “Confidence,” but his omissions only fueled interest.

But the further the workers dug, the more interesting things they discovered. If it was previously believed that the southern walls rest on the walls of Nero’s circus that was once located here and that part of the cathedral is located where Christians were executed under Nero and where Peter was supposed to have been crucified, then excavations have revealed something completely different.

It turned out that the Basilica of Constantine was built on the site where the cemetery was once located. One can imagine the state of archaeologists when they first came across one mausoleum, and then the others, which stood in a row, turning into a kind of enfilade. Under the blows of shovels, a whole necropolis appeared from the darkness: dozens of mausoleums, sarcophagi and crypts...

Little by little, the outlines of the cemetery were revealed: truly, it was the largest necropolis that archaeologists had ever found here. And he was located just under the nave. From the inscriptions on the mausoleums it was clear that the burials were intended for pagans and only a few of them for Christians. This means that they were buried here at the very dawn of Christianity, long before Constantine ordered the construction of a temple on this site. And this meant that Christians themselves chose this pagan cemetery as their last refuge.

But why? There must have been a very good reason for this: for example, the desire to find eternal peace near Peter.

One of the mausoleums was surrounded by a wall, which archaeologists called the “Red Wall”. And it was there that a mosaic depicting a Galilean fisherman was found. Yes, yes, the same Peter whom the Savior called to feed his sheep.

In this way, the chronology of events can be restored. In 67, Peter was executed at Nero's circus and buried in a nearby cemetery. And starting from the 80s, his grave began to be protected: this is evidenced by the wall in the dungeon. It is possible that the Christians, probably having bought this site, built this stone fence around the tomb of Peter. Thus, in the second century, the so-called “Red Wall” was erected by the faithful.

It turns out that excavations in the dungeon confirm the existing tradition, but the question arises: if Peter’s tomb was found, then where could his relics go?

The “Fenced Place” was examined up and down, establishing that this was the tomb of St. Peter, but there was one problem. Unfortunately, it turned out to be empty.

But scientists were not so pessimistic. Some experts on the history of Catholicism note that in one of the niches there are human remains, although without a skull. Medical examination has proven that these are the bones of one person, and a person of not very old age. The documents mention these remains in passing, but there is every reason to believe that the remains that were found under the “Red Wall” still belong to Peter’s grave.

One day in July 1939, Pius XII turned in his thoughts to the “Confessional” of the apostle - St. Peter. It was at this time that he made a rather responsible decision for himself to “Get to the bottom” of the secret, despite the fact that many would still prefer that this secret be surrounded by a veil of mystery - after all, then it would be much calmer to live...

But for some reason it seems that it was Pius XII who left this life calmly, without a heaviness on his heart. After all, in the end, this dad was convinced that he had believed all his spiritual life not in vain, and he knew the answer to the question that worried him even before archaeologists found it. Truly, Faith often still outstrips science.

The secret archive of the Vatican has been a source of myths and legends for centuries. Now, for the first time, the church state has decided to open the doors of the secret papal library to the uninitiated. The exhibition entitled "Lux in Arcana" presents documents covering 16 centuries of world history...

An exhibition with unique documents presented by the Vatican has opened in Rome. In total, it presents about a hundred copies that were part of the famous secret papal archive, covering more than fifteen centuries of European and world history.

Here you can find manuscripts covering the most notorious processes of the Inquisition, documents remaining from the time of the Crusades, manuscripts of famous thinkers and scientists.

"Everything is here - from old Europe to Asia, from the discovery of America to the Second World War. Not a single country has escaped our attention," says Sergio Pagano, keeper of the Vatican Secret Archives. Previously, only selected scientists had access to these papers.

They decided to reveal secrets and provide an opportunity to look at letters and books that have never left the Vatican for the anniversary of the secret archive - it turns 400 years old. Among them are many autographs of the greats. Galileo's signature on the Inquisition verdict.

Shelves with documents from the secret papal archives in the Vatican

According to Sergio Pagano, curator of the Vatican Secret Archives, the main thing in the exhibition is not the number of documents, of which there are only a hundred, but their scope and quality.

Stories that the Vatican has until now kept secret are in the hall of heretics. The trial of Giordano Bruno was a real revelation. The church considers his death to be a sad episode; the scientist has still not been rehabilitated.

The verdict of the Inquisition against the astronomer Giordano Bruno

The indictment documents were lost; the notebook with citations was recently found. But where and how his execution took place in Rome is known to everyone - at Campo de Fiori. Handing Bruno into the hands of the Roman governor, the Inquisition demanded a merciful, bloodless punishment for him. In the 17th century, this was considered to be burning alive.

In the Square of Flowers, where the fire had already been built, Giordano Bruno appeared with a gag in his mouth. He was tied to a post with wet ropes and iron chains, under the influence of fire they contracted, digging into the body. Last words The scientists were: “I am dying as a martyr, and my soul will be carried to heaven. The monument to the scientist appeared in 1889, and his books were allowed only 65 years ago.

Marie Antoinette's suicide note written before her execution.

A separate women's room contains dramatic stories of empresses. Abdication of the Swedish Queen, last letter to Mary Stuart. Ten tragic lines written by Marie Antoinette to her brother in the punishment cell. The Queen of France was shaved bald and beheaded on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

Particular attention of the audience is drawn to the parchment scroll, sealed with as many as eighty seals. This is a letter to Pope Clement VII from King Henry VIII of England asking him to allow him to divorce Catherine of Aragon so that he can marry Anne Boleyn. The letter ends with hints that the king might take "extreme measures" if Vatican authorities interfere with him.

Inquisition documents

Pope Leo XIII, opened the Archives in 1880 for research

All documents are stamped with the words “Archivio Segreto Vaticano,” although exhibition organizers note that the Latin word “secretum” more accurately translates as “private.”

100 dark secrets revealed to the public are called both a drop in the bucket and a sensation. The Vatican Archives includes 85 kilometers of shelving.

According to the organizers of the project, the exhibition “Lux in Arcana” is intended to reveal to the uninitiated some of the secrets of the church and, thereby, strengthen its authority.

The exhibition will last until September this year.

Catholicism is the largest denomination in Christianity by number of adherents, uniting more than a billion members. The head of the Catholic Church is the Pope, who heads the Holy See and the Vatican City State in Rome. The real power and influence of the Vatican in the world is difficult to deny, and it is shrouded in secrets and legends, many of which turn out to be true...

11. Evidence of the existence of Jesus Christ
The same Vatican archive, as many believe, contains authentic data about the earthly existence of Jesus Christ. Only the papacy has classified the materials and does not want to share them with the world.

10. Catholicism and Islam
Alberto Rivera, a former Jesuit priest, revealed the secret told by Cardinal Bea. He claimed that the Vatican created the Messiah for the Arabs. The Vatican molded Muhammad as a great leader, trained him, and he and his followers were to capture Jerusalem for the Pope. The cardinal also admitted that there is evidence of the creation of Islam, but it is classified.

But during one procession she gave birth and after that she died.

8. There are many treasures hidden in the Vatican
Palaces, museums, temples, unique works of art, sculptures and paintings - the Vatican is buried in all this splendor. But more valuable relics are still kept secret from prying eyes. This is probably where the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail are hidden.

Official investigations confirmed that Kennedy's killer was Lee Harvey Oswald, but there were likely conspirators behind him. According to some reports, the president, like Lincoln, was killed by order of the Jesuits.

Vatican and extraterrestrial intelligence

The Vatican knows about UFOs and extraterrestrial civilizations There are more ufologists, but prefers to keep this information secret from the public. The bishops are confident that humanity is not yet ready to learn such secrets and, moreover, the discovery of this knowledge will pose a threat to the existence of the church. And this is what the Vatican fears most. Today the church does not have as much power as in earlier times, but it undoubtedly has a serious influence on politics and humanity in general. Having its own levers of control, the holy church, using the faith of people to enrich itself, lives off them and controls them.

Recently an article was published on Wikilieks where it was said that Pope Francis communicated with representatives of other races and was also introduced to their good intentions, in particular to provide assistance in the energy sector. But as the author wrote, “They” are afraid of people’s belligerence, afraid to share such high technologies.

Secrets of the Vatican. What is kept in secret libraries?

According to scientists, classified information, which the Vatican possesses, is stored in underground vaults with limited access. They have so many levels of protection that no bank in the world could boast of such a system. These secret libraries contain old books, manuscripts, a real bible, old scriptures. There are scriptures written on clay tablets, on stone tablets, on animal skins. In the Vatican dungeons there are also numerous works by ancient authors, drawings, paintings and much more that the human eye will never see.

Thousands of ministers daily translate ancient texts, restore and restore ancient manuscripts. Millions of dollars collected from parishioners, patrons, and various foundations are spent monthly on this.

Vatican Artifacts

Among other things, the Vatican has some ancient artifacts. They carry not only historical value, but are also capable of something more. These artifacts are the remnants of the technologies of civilizations that once inhabited our planet. The age of the Earth is great and over so many centuries many civilizations have been born and died as a result of wars or global cataclysms. It is believed that at least 3 eras of civilization have passed. Ours is the fourth. These artifacts were located all over the world and were taken for preservation to the Vatican, which became the religious center of the planet and the custodian of ancient relics.

The artifacts that the Vatican possesses are quite varied. Some of them are weapons, others are capable of endowing a person with certain skills, and others are intended for other purposes. But the purpose of many of them is still not known, but the church is actively pursuing research papers. The Ark of the Covenant, the Golden Fleece, the Spear of Longinus, and much more are located in the Vatican.

Vatican Gold

The Vatican is the main owner of the world's gold reserves, precious stones and other valuable metals and elements. These are both solid bars and ancient gold coins that were minted hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of years ago.

Drawing information from manuscripts, the Vatican was able to find most of the earthly treasures left by their ancestors. The Labyrinth of the Minotaur, the gold of Alexander the Great, Eldorado - valuables from these places have long been in the treasuries of the Holy Church. And watching the scientists who do not give up hope of finding these places, the Vatican does not blink an eye.

But on the other hand, if the church poured all its gold into circulation, this would lead to its depreciation. Which means it wouldn’t be of any use at all.

Vatican wine

Monks are the main consumers of wine in the world. This is not only a long tradition, but also a necessity. After all, wine in religion is equated with the blood of God, just as bread, in turn, is equated with his flesh. In a word, wine and bread are sacred.

It is not surprising that the Vatican has many kilometers of cellars with bottles and barrels of wine, reports kratko-news.com. Some wine has seen times of its own Louis XIV, and some even more early times. If you collected all the wine from his cellars, there would be enough to fill Trump Tower to the top twice!

The Vatican still holds many secrets that we have yet to learn about. Surely they will still be able to shock society!

Vatican Secret Archives

Vatican Library

Fifty kilometers of underground libraries. Books, codices, parchments inaccessible to the common public. Secret manuscripts kept for centuries. Why are all these mysterious documents kept in the Vatican? What secrets do they hide? Of course, it is impossible even to guess (since most everything stored there will remain a mystery to those who cannot walk through the ancient and gloomy corridors), but in continuation we offer a short list of what is really stored in the secret archives of the Vatican.

Documents about early Christianity, including those related to research into the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Trial of the Templars. A volume of 1309 pages describing the trial of the Knights of the Order of the Temple (see Chapter II). We are, of course, talking about a copy, and not about the original, but it is considered absolutely reliable and was made immediately after the original was compiled.

Documents relating to the Great Western Schism (1378–1417), indicating the years when several popes succeeded one after another on the throne, and each had its own secrets, which means confidential documents and secret archives.

Bull Innocent VII (1484), which launched the witch hunt.

All banned books from the Vatican Index. These books were read and hidden in the archive. The list of prohibited books appeared immediately after the establishment of the Institute of the Sacred Congregation of the Ecumenical Inquisition (1542) - this list was compiled following the example of Spain. However, it is necessary to clarify that the prohibition on printing, making copies and the very reading of certain books dates back to the time of the Council of Nicaea (see Chapter I), when, for example, Arius' Symposium was banned and burned.

All documents about the reform of the Roman calendar (which we use today) carried out by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.

A large number of documents on “normal” topics (concerning religious, political, secular issues) and, no doubt, more larger number materials related to the “paranormal”. Many researchers, among them Hugo de Sant Joan de Mata, agree that the Secret Archives contain numerous documents on paranormal phenomena, especially parapsychology. Of course, a phenomenon that took place, say, in the 10th century, was not recorded as a “paranormal phenomenon”, but as a curse or a miracle. In subsequent centuries, the same phenomenon was called witchcraft.

All information about Giordano Bruno (16th century), an Italian Dominican monk convicted of heresy. The process lasted seven years. About the last event only summary 55-page investigative file discovered in 1940.

The section listed in the catalog as “Miscellaneous” contains materials from the trial of the third Dominican nun Cristina de Rovales (the trial was completed in the 16th century). The documents contain information about demonic possession, stigmata, visions and phenomena that today are called parapsychological phenomena, such as levitation and telepathy.

Texts from non-Christian countries brought by missionaries. For example, in the 17th century, Jesuits stationed in China regularly sent staggering amounts of material to the Vatican.

Documents relating to the trial of Galileo (17th century).

Letters of Pius XII revealing the Vatican's relationship with Hitler.

The Vatican opens its secret archives

The Vatican announced that, as of February 15, 2002, it will partially open its secret archives dating back to the period up to the outbreak of World War II. Documents covering the period from 1922 to 1939 will be available to researchers with official permission. Thus, the Catholic Church wants to restore the good name of Pope Pius XII, who was accused by Jewish organizations of not doing anything to prevent the Holocaust. Before the war, Pope Pius XII served as the Vatican's ambassador to Berlin.

Destroyed documents

The first 640 documents that will become available to researchers in next year, talk about the Vatican's relations with Germany in 1922-1939. However, according to the Reuters news agency, the Vatican claims that many documents dating from 1931-1934 were “virtually destroyed or lost” as a result of the Allied bombing of Berlin and were lost in fires. Archival documents covering the period 1939 to 1949, which deal with prisoners of war, will be opened in the second place. Materials containing information about Pius XII's relations with Germany until his death in 1958 will become public over the next three years.

Partial opening

The Vatican always defended Pius XII, explaining his silence regarding the Holocaust by the fact that he was afraid of bringing even greater trouble to both Catholics and Jews. A Vatican statement in early 2002 said the documents reflected "the enormous work undertaken by Pope Pius XII to care for the victims of war, regardless of race, religion or nationality."

This statement came some time after Jewish and Catholic researchers studying the documents were forced to interrupt their work - the Vatican opened the archives only partially. The Holy See recognized that partial opening of archives for research is not entirely correct. However, all this is done in order to protect the victims of the Holocaust who are still alive.

For the first time, the Secret Archives were opened to researchers - partially - in 1881. Since that time, various books have been published and many documents analyzed. IN recent years materials began to be filmed on microfilm, recorded on video and, of course, stored electronically.
