NO. Even the "Vatican Secret Archives" are available on their website. See: http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm
Some of these answers would be hilarious, except that their authors believe them to be true.....
Check out the first link listed below to debunk any of the stuff these guys are throwing out there.
Thanks for reading and God bless!

Fr. Nicholas Gruner and his team have been researching the 'elusive' Third Secret and the information the Fatima Centre has come out with is impressive. You can go to www.fatima.org for more information.

Why would the church leaders wish to hide this secret? The answers are all given at this website.Also do watch the following documentary which is making waves and is very crucial at this point of Catholic church history.

God Bless the Catholic church!

Well they were openly withholding the so-called “Third Secret of Fatima” since WWI, so what does that tell you about their behaviour? Oh wait, they revealed it a few years ago, and the big secret? The pope will be shot. O what great revelation! no wonder they could not reveal such an incomprehensibly great “secret”. What a load of nonsense, they revealed a phoney letter because of public pressure, I don’t think that’s the real secret at all, and the real one is still in the basement. But besides that I think they have some scriptures from the first century and they’re not talking. Reason is it’s authentic and it contradicts their NT which they made to gain power and control of the common people.

The Church is very transparent. Documents are open to the public. The beliefs of the Church are bible-based. The dogmas and decrees are approved by a panel of bishops and proclaimed to the whole world. What the heck are you talking about hiding things?

I think all the churches be they Catholic, Christian, Born again etc....are tempted to hide things that may draw unfavourable publicity to them.
Honestly, i just one question to put forth to all the rest. The Catholic Church itself went through dark ages and have not denied that any of those proven crimes did take place. No one is hiding anything as sometimes sadly even the higher authorities aren't aware of such things. Why not for a change focus on the good qualities of the Catholic Church? Oh no of course no one would do that right?
Ok let's say that the Catholic Church is full of hypocrisy and is totally against God's teachings... why in the world would it have survived so many years even through the "dark" ages when people killed each other because of being religious fanatics? It is still standing strong just as the rock that Jesus built his church on. Why do Christians keep lamenting that the Catholics are condemned to hell when you are in no position to judge others than God himself. All the other denominations sprouted out because everyone had their own interpretations of the bible. At the end of the day, its the faith and the Holy Spirit that guides us closer to our Lord.
Jesus Christ came to die for all our sins be it Christians or Catholics! I think before anyone points a finger at the other and condemn Catholics, you should point a finger at yourself and ask if you are living your faith.
Are you living the life that Christ has taught us to live? There are so many Christians/Catholics out there who are living immoral lives yet proclaim that they are followers of Christ. In this sense, how are we all as Christ followers going to envangelise to the other non-believers?
Its absolutely sad that we as followers of Christ are so divided. He is the God of compassion and he taught us to lead our lives with compassion and not competitiveness!
For Christ's sake! The bible is not supposed to be taken literally so please get your facts right before anyone says anything wrong!

Below is a link for you to check out. It has testimonies of 50 converted Roman Catholic priests," by Richard Bennet (Carlisle, Penn: The Banner of Truth Trust, 1997). The tesamonies are quite interesting and valuable since they give an insight to Catholicism from those who were priests in the Catholic Church and then left it to find salvation in Jesus.

If the Catholic Church is not a true church it won't last till now. Why would 20% of the population of the world believe in it if it hid things?

No, nothing could be further from the truth.
If we spent all of our lives studying the writtings that the Catholic Church has produced, we would not even scratch the surface of it all. Everything the Church has has been available to learn about for the past 2,000 years. The problem is that people don't want to learn from it. Try starting with the Vatican's official website at www.vatican.va

No. People hide things. Things to protect their personal agendas. the church does not hide things. Individuals within the church may hide things. Gods church always remains pure.
