Answer 1

your question should be replaced under "religion" and not under "politics".


you are too young to be asking about Jewish things.


see ya later.

Answer 2

Maybe these Jewish human rights groups should do their own homework, instead of expecting the Vatican to do their work for them. It is a poor (and intellectually lazy) excuse to say someone else is keeping history a secret. Do enough digging and you will find what you are looking for.

Answer 3

Because the Vatican is hiding something, duh.

If the world (on a large scale) finds out that the Vatican supported exiled Nazi officers and gave them missionary lisences & sent them off to Brazil with millions in cash, that won't make the Church look good now will it? That would also mean that the Vatican would have to fork over a hefty amout to Holocaust compensation funds.

Answer 4

Various groups would use any data obtained from the Vatican to their own uses. Politics aside, the Vatican maintains archives that NO ONE has access to. So if they do not allow their own scholars full access to their archives, why should Jewish rights groups have special access.

Answer 5

The Vatican is also loaded with stuff stolen from Jews over the centuries.

Answer 6

many things that were linked to this current feeling that were done during any war, let alone one that is so ugly that we would be far better to nuclear waste a whole country than deal with retroperspectives of right and wrong, this is a phenominum of our sociaty only~~~ every century had it hell to pay for power and glory of conquest and if you can't lead with the men it battle don't try to understand the little stuff that's left over-surely u c that the jews were not a poor race and they were economically world power bankers aND EUROPES ARISTOCRATIC MOVMENT TO MINOPOLIZING power that would soon be undermined as less than the desired super aryan race that was german poor and ego elitist in scouraging all who were in it path, many of europe most prestigious family were accosting tribunual to give them their valuables back after the war, the swiss bank can't even begin to accomodate them with out going broke and the surpent of hitler was cut and the war ended but what to do about wrong that happen will never be righted, saddum murdered millions of his own people just like hitler did to the less aryan then his desires 6 million go on document files of right deaths and this is not all the facts read and view the pictures in the scourage of the swasika and then c we should find some better ways to stop what should never have been, we now suffer and wait as our economy nose dive deep into hell with our futures so we can be saved for yet another failure to can't the spoils of war, this is not a lesson that christains embrace and will kill us all from it stupidity

Answer 7

The Vatican has things you never knew existed. I would love to get a look at some of the ancient manuscripts they are holding. Their stand on things in the modern era, it pretty much public knowledge..........an internet search away.

Answer 8

Maybe for the same reason the Jewish community went up an arms when a high school was trying to teach about all of Hitler's political history not just his Nazi rein.

Answer 9

Titan doesn't have a clue. He's never thought about it for a second. Even now the subject doesn't interest him. He's more interested in those handles on top of your head. Ok report away. I'm just bored. I'm not Jewish or Catholic.

Answer 10

The Vatican is lenient on media because it tolerates freedom of speech and expression.
