Probably, along with countless other treasures, stacked and buried in underground areas that only they (clergy) can get to, or know about. . . rotting away with the passage of time . . .
Knowledge is power - they have no reason to SHARE it - but lots of reason to hoard it . . .

why would they bother?
the dead sea scrolls are not part of their cannon and what they say or don't say is irrelevant to catholic theology
everybody wants a conspiracy because thats more fun
but it makes no sense
there are many copies of all the scrolls known to be found, there is no evidence that the catholic church ever had exclusive access to any of the scrolls
you might as well ask if the Disney corporation is witholding any dead sea scrolls
but wait, that mouse is sort of sneaky looking

Does the Pope wear Prada? I think that there's a lot about the Catholic Church that we have yet to uncover - and may never.

I think the real question is, "what ISN'T the catholic church withholding?"

No. The Vatican never had exclusive access to the scrolls. They have all been translated and published, and are currently residing in museums and universities.

I don't know about that one, but I have heard that they are withholding so many ancient artifacts and religious relics it would shock us all to find out how much they had. Wouldn't it be cool to work in their vaults?!
