  • No one is allowed to borrow a book from the Vatican Library except the pope. And no wonder: the archive holds some of the oldest and most precious works of art and treasure known to man. Morley Safer and "60 Minutes" cameras get to see the best of the best.

      Nostalgic memories youre missing a major principle that all scientists and religious abide by. Science and religion don’t contradicted each other. They’re two majorly different things. One attempts to explain natural world while one attempts to explain the supernatural world. Example: the Catholic churches official stance is that the theory of evaluation is true and to go against that os to go against the church. Also what war? The crusades? When christian warrior monks were formed to protect pilgrims? The only thing id say that yeah blood shed got outta hand was the Spanish Inquisition. Aside from that all worlds wars have been fought over resources, money, and oil because we’re greedy. What teaches us to not be greedy? Oh yeah. Religion. Killing is a human thing not a godly thing. Its our flaw to bear not God’s. Dont let the actions of the wicked represent the views of the many. And if you do hate religion strictly for its blood shed why not go attack islamic videos.

      I've read that they were able to save most of them. Like Derek Donaldson said, they were gone before the fire. The only place that sources consistently name is Syria. There is a place in Syria where anyone who's aware that they're there is able to read them. You are able to hand copy any of them, but they don't leave the building. That was from an old book that I read during my occult phase. But more than one book named Syria. I was gonna follow up with more research, but I lost interest.

I'm sure they have old fashioned card catalogs and modern digital files. And to be honest, I don't think the Vatican was all that concerned with writing down a list of everything in there. That probably only came about in the early 1900's and possibly, to a fuller extent, starting around the 1980's.

      Not at all. The Pope has been in existence for 2,000 years lol, never once have they ever been seen as "played out". If anything, they are involved in most major world affairs and are, in a sense, the head figure of all of Christianity.
      There's also a lot of the younger generation within Catholicism that takes their faith seriously. The apostolic teachings and the authority of the Pope will never be 'played out' :D

    It’s not surprising that a lot of comments are so negative on here. Why can’t you just enjoy the 60 Minute video, look at the history. Whether you believe or not is your decision. I personally feel that it’s so amazing that they have so many documents, scriptures, photos and so much more. No need to argue. Just listen and move on. Simple as that.

      It's actually crazy seeing people argue that the Vatican Library is not open to the public while it's completely false.
      Good to see some people like you brother whose mind is still intact in the midst of the bs here in the comments.

      Isaiah 47:6-13
      [6]I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
      [7]And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
      [8]Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
      [9]But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
      [10]For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
      [11]Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
      [12]Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
      [13]Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
