Here is something interesting that many Christians don't realize about the Roman Catholic church.
“It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.” Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903.
"All of us believe many things in regard to religion that we do not find in the Bible. For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the Church outside the Bible." The Catholic Virginian, "To Tell You The Truth,” Vol. 22, No. 49 (Oct. 3, 1947).
"But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn't it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistent; but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom, even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away - like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair." The Faith of Millions
Council Laodicea - A.D.365
"Canon 16-On Saturday the Gospels and other portions of the Scripture shall be read aloud." "Canon 29-Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday, but shall work on that day; but Sunday they shall especially honor, and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day." Hefele's "Councils," Vol. 2, b. 6. (See an online version of this council on the Roman Catholic New Advent website - see Canon 29)

sadly, for many centuries the secret artifacts kept from the public would be the Bible in plain English
Public enemy number 1 in the 15th century were Bible translators as good Christian scholars like Tyndale were burned
there is a parable kinda about this called the parable of the sower... the Son sprinkles the word everywhere... but the birds try and eat it before it sinks in

The have the earliest original copies of what the Bible really says, but keep them secret. Why?.\]
Because it is NOT what they teach from their pulpits.
To try and prove the trinity concept, they have stated that Jesus is equal to God, is in FACT, God, and that the Holy Spirit is a third party, when in fact it is only God's POWER, a force and not a personality at all.
None is supported by the Bible.
(John 5:19) Therefore, in answer, Jesus went on to say to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner.
I did things just like MY father. It does not make ME...him.

There's not enough time or caffeine to get into this discussion. Let's just say that underneath the glamorous exterior lies a world of amazement guarded by men with weaponry that would impress Capatain Kirk and crew. The new Captain Kirk and crew, that is.

I dont know about artifacts, but Im sure the church as do most sects, knows how to milk and manipulate the masses or to use their language, the flock.

It doesn't matter. If you haven't done so already, just repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus (Acts 2:38), then your spiritual eyes will be opened with the gift of the Holy Ghost, to what God has in store for you to be with Him in Heavan, for all eternity.
The covert behavior of the RCC is suspect to me. My Holy Spirit radar is sensing that whatever they want to keep close and guarded is what will undermine and unravel their entire religious infrastructure at the seams, from the ritualistic, rehearsed, predetermined prayer chants in their missilettes and during their masses, to their undemonstrable, unspontaneous, scripted, repetitive worship style. This includes the symbolic rationale for their Eucharist and their claim for Apostolic Succession as a means for complete salvation.
After I received the gift of the Holy Ghost, and some gifts that fruited from this (ie. knowledge), I firmly believe that man-made rituals, dogma, doctrine, rehearsed prayers, and physical manifestations of the body and blood of Christ will NOT allow one to enter His Presence in His Throne Room. God is interested in your passion for Him in one's heart, not through deeds that one thinks will get his attention, but rather through deeds that He knows will get one in His presence. The only way to know is to have His Spirit indwell in each of us, then His instructions are clear by what the Word of God says.
I pray that everyone will find this matter of utmost urgency, if they are seeking eternal salvation with God.

What makes you so sure that the pope is in on it? Most likely it is kept secret from most of those even in the organization.

That the pope and emperor made up Christianity. One was quoted as saying that this new religion, Christianity, that we created is very profitable to us.
