(More customer reviews)The word "Revealed" in the title lead me to believe this would be a "revealing" documentary about the exploits of the many corrupt popes throughout history who have committed adultery and even murder, the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people "The Church" has burned alive or killed in some other horrible manner, or an account of the "Modernists" priests who were excommunicated in the late 19th century for suggesting that portions of the Bible be revised to support the archeological evidence scientists began unearthing in the middle of that century.
This propaganda film gushes about how "grand" the Vatican library is, and while I certainly won't dispute it's aesthetic beauty, one commentator had the arrogance to claim "the entire history of the world" could be found in this library. This man is either blissfully unaware, or choses to ignore, the Vatican's long history of destroying ancient, original manuscripts that don't support their dogma, therefore making it impossible for the Vatican library to contain "the entire history of the world."
And, of course, nothing is mentioned about the decades long effort, and successful one at that (until recently), to suppress the publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other archeological findings...more evidence they surely would have destroyed had they had the opportunity.
"The Vatican Revealed" is an extremely biased propaganda film that was obviously directed, produced and narrated by devout Catholics. There is not one ounce of objectivity to it. It's a nice, clean, rosey look at the Vatican that I'm sure every good, obedient Christian will enjoy watching...but if you're looking for a more "revealing" look at the Vatican, don't be fooled by the title.
