Sorry...Would you like to buy an 8 X 10 glossy photo of our current Marxist Pope instead?"

Wake me up when the Original Mark gets brought out for inspection.

Screw original Mark. Bring out original Paul, or at least the letters that Marcion had, and his Gospel.

And Papias. And Justus of Tiberias. And the histories of Claudius.

And the missing sections of Tacitus.

And Hegesippus. And Aristion. And Basilides.

Pace Dan Brown, the “secret” in the Vatican Secret Archives’ name doesn’t refer to anything clandestine or conspiratorial. It merely means that the archives are the personal property of the pope; “private archives” would probably be a better translation of the original name, Archivum Secretum.
