Nice for 60 Minutes to have a real interest story and not another ‘problem’ that needs to be co depended about

Knowing "60 Minutes" from their past performance, I'm sure they will slip in SOME either anti-Christian or anti-Catholic talking points. And no, I'm NOT going to watch "60 Minutes" even for this opportunity.

I wonder if they occasionally have FOL (Friends Of The Library) sales to get rid of all the old stuff ?

I wonder if the Pope, like me when I was a kid, has to pay 5 cents a day for books returned late?

Thanks so much for this post! It’s been so long since I watched anything on CBS that I had to look up the channel.

it's not open to the public because it's chock full of some of the oldest, one-of-a-kind cultural treasures known to man,

Including the LFBC?

“...including 2,000-yr.old copies of the gospels of Luke and John.”

Credibility alert! Neither of these gospels had been written 2000 years ago.

CBS News) Only the pope can borrow from the Vatican Library; it's not open to the public

you know us Catholics, always keeping things from the masses, what with chaining the bible to the altar rail and things like that there.

ca. 2000, for John, and that’s a fact as it was written around the begining of the 2nd cent.
