Religious rants

"The archives are only accessible to scholars once they are 75 years old. When authorized, academics enter the Vatican via a specific entry point that is secured by the Swiss Guard. They are ushered into the archives where they can access up to three pre-requested documents in a day."

"An entire section of the distinguished archives relating to the personal affairs of Cardinalship from 1922 onwards cannot be accessed." According to wikipedia

I read all of that but I think the likelihood that the protection is to keep them as safe and in prestine condition as possible with trained handlers and not some archaic tomes of Holy Magick. The age thing might be an indicator that you have to climb ranks to be permitted into them but I don't think they are keeping secrets away from humanity unless it would somehow damage what support the Catholic church still clings onto.

Well there is evidence to support the catholic church is indeed evil. So yeah probably exorcist records. I saw an interview with an catholic exorcist saying the same. The reason i argue so much about the catholic church is because i truly believe there is something wrong with it. But beyond that i think they also have something a little more than just exposing the church. I think there are some groundbreaking stuff hidden away. Also If you havent noticed even the church has been conforming to modern day society. Saying unrepentant aethists can still go to heaven if they are good people, also that sexual immorality is ok as long as you believe in God. There is a reason for protestants existing.

I'd hesitate to call the catholic church as an institution either good or evil. It seems more cyclical if you ask me. Swaying from one side to the other depending on which generation we are talking about. A lot of factions within it do seem to have red flags, that's for sure.

Well, well, well, finally gave an honest answer. Remember when I asked which one of you is burning in hell? For having the wrong interpretation on the magic fairy tale book, Pandus the real Christian or Dagger the evil catholic? I guess Dagger is burning in hell after all. To bad he ain't here no more to know his fate Lul

Religious participation is decreasing in the modern day because our current religious institutions, technology, or overarching religious outlooks don't seem to be equipped to deal with modern problems. More people are choosing to simply not think about it or actively not participate in any given institution for many reasons. I think this has to do with religious institutions no longer serving as cultural centers, faith-based maxims falling short of the many questions of our increasingly absurd time, and the return of spiritual ambiguity and peer-to-peer discussion. Institutions, not just of the religious variety but of everywhere are facing resistance and tiny communities that serve similar purposes and niches are dominating thanks to their flexibility, among other things. What you're seeing is not a decrease in religion, but a decrease in reported religious participation. People still look to the divine, they just don't listen to any one person talk about it and either explore it themselves or wait until life hits them.
