"The current Pope has no fear in the face of a fake story that was first debunked almost 2,000 years ago."

I guess that is why these things have been suppressed all these centuries. The religious leaders had no fear of them.


Respectfully I don't believe that's the point...The fear is not what the documents would do to the chruch, but rather that the documents would fill the hearts of the members pulling them away from the true message of the Gospel, the saving death and resurrection of Christ Jesus.

Here's an analogy...Think of a book you'd rather not have your children read, let's say its a book discussing the great feelings a person can have when you are drunk and how fun it is...Would one choose to keep that book away from their children so they are not tempted to drink to find this feeling? Most parents would and do...The church is doing the same thing with this book...it's unhealthy reading it's heretical, it's false gospel...there is no good reason for the faithful to read it...all that statement and I'm not even Catholic! (Conservative Lutheran, but we avoid the gnostic gospels like the plague as well).

Blessing in Christ!

I might not want my child to read a certain book for his own good, but I also would not kill my child if he did. And to me, a religion which has killed people over doctrine is not to be trusted. It has something to hide, and it probably has suppressed and hidden a LOT of things.
