with the popes recent statement of repentance concerning violoence committed in the churchs' name over the last 1000 years, i was hoping the pope might consider releasing, or at least allow a viewing by a jewish sage, of the books and artifacts rumored to be in the vatican basement\catacombs. many important writings and other objects of religious and historical significance are rumored to be located in the vaticans present dwelings.

Response to releasing of jewish artifacts rumored to be in the vatican catacombs

Hello, Gary.

Don't worry. Nothing is being held back.

All art and documents in the Vatican galleries and archives -- up to a certain (20th-century) cutoff date [just like our National Archives] -- are always available for inspection by bona fide scholars.

Moreover, a major loan of artifacts has been made from the Vatican to a museum in Israel. Sorry that I can't give you any details, but just the other day I saw a film clip of it on TV. If I see it again, I'll follow up on it here.

Shalom. John

Dear Gary, I'm pretty sure that any atifacts in the Vatican Archives that belong to the Jews have been given back. Maybe not publically, because we would have heard about it. It is only rumoured that there are tons of things there that we are not aware of from WW2. Unless the Vatican had the Arc of the Covenant, Why don't we let it rest. Ellen
