Ok. I misread something.

So, there may be treasures in the Vatican basements?

If there are, they should be returned, of course.

Perhaps there could be an independent study group formed-up and with the Vatican's approval, a search could be made for such things as Torahs and so forth.

Somehow, I do think the Vatican would co-operate with that.

I don't think there's enough room in the Vatican to hold half the myriad artifacts people have accused the Church of hoarding. I heard one kooky feminist claim that the "goddess" was chained somewhere in the Vatican.
