What's really hidden in the Vatican archives?

Urban II

Deus Vult

I have fond feelings about the Crusades, as any proper Catholic should, but in the long run they probably did more harm than good to the Church.

Makes me mad the people back then had so little foresight. The Catholics should have done everything in their power to keep Jerusalem

It was expensive, user. The kings got tired of losing blood and treasure to something that ultimately didn't materially benefit them.

That said, I am a supporter of a Christian-held Jerusalem. Some day it will happen, even if that day is the Last Day.

Is there a chance the archives will ever be opened

You can go see them for yourself if you have a good reason

"holy shit" comes from Hindus having cows poop in their homes for religious reasons. Literal "holy shit."

I don't reckon they would consider curiosity to be a good enough reason

No they wouldn't. Generally you need to be a scholar in some field that has an interest in the stuff they keep there

Most archives are the same.
