6. Undergraduate students are not admitted into the Archives.
Darn! Well, that takes me out. or, at least for a few years.... hmmmmmmm.
17. Silence must be observed in all parts of the Archives. Please dress with discretion.
This one just makes no sense to me. I mean, who cares, especially if only one "Researcher" is allowed in at a time!

Says who?
For your information, the Vatican Museums are the major touristy attraction in Rome (all you have to do is stand patiently in a massive queue for a couple of hours). Even the Sistine Chapel itself is open to the public and is such a stunning masterpiece, that even an atheist and agnostic like myself had to stare in wonder and I almost (I enphatize ALMOST) felt like there was something devine about that place. Hard to describe, I guess it's one of those moments in life when you really do ask yourself some of the BIG questions.

While it is true that much of the Vatican is open, much, much MORE is inaccessible to just about everyone.

didn't you read the freakin book? everything that the illuminati wrote was in english!!! lengua pura, because the church didn't speak english. The church wanted to burry the illuminati and they did. along with their history. that's why the illuminati, in combination with the fact that they were so secretive in the first place and the fact that people today only care about pop culture, dont exist in the minds of those who haven't read the book, thanks to Dan Brown, except for illuminati enthusiasts and scholars. but how many of those do you know? really?

Haven't read the book but just want to highlight the folly of this statement. Each Pope is not identical; they have their own opinions on issues such as abortion, homosexuality, politics, etc. that can change the way masses of the world's population think and act.

Well not really. The voting system is designed to provide continuity and to prevent change.

I'm not really sure about my next summer holidays. I will either walk along St. James Path to Santiago de Compostela or I will go to Rome and visit some churches and Vatican City.
Hehe, maybe when I am a minister in some years I will go to the secret archives
