Ok, which is fine, cause I’m sure back in the day, rumors still existed. I mean it’s 2025, but let’s be real here, some things never change.
What gets me though is….you have a mosaic underneath St. Peters Basilica, that literally says “Jesus as the Sun God.” And it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but the Basilica has been around since the 4th Century, so it’s pretty old. So, if the truth is, Constantine wasn’t a Sun Worshipper and that’s just a rumor, then why would we have a mosaic underneath St. Peters Basilica depicting Jesus as the Sun God? Again, I don’t believe in coincidence….I think there are certain people in the Vatican who knows exactly why that’s still there.
It’s so funny now that we’re talking about this. I had a friend who actually took tours underneath the Basilica, and he actually did ask, he said “Why is it that there’s like trinkets and artifacts of other gods underneath the Vatican. And the tour guide said “Oh, those were given to us by a company and they don’t want to take this exhibit down.” Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…likely story!
That’s what I’m saying, yes I have no way of actually saying that my little description of Constantine is accurate, but there’s something going on and I would kind of like to know what’s going on. Again, the reason I left the Church was because I had certain questions that weren’t really given an answer, and it got so bad to where I was like “Something is off about this religion. I don’t know what it is and I can’t really put a finger on it, but the fact there are certain questions that I find important, not being answered or being answered in a way that seems like they’re ignoring something or tip-toeing around the issue, I don’t really care for that. I said this once and I’ll say it again, there are certain things that The Church is omitting from the public. Omitting anything is not going to get us anywhere. When it comes to the truth, you should put all information on the table. I don’t care if a Pope, or a Cardinal doesn’t want the public to know certain things, how can everyone know what is true and what isn’t true if we’re not given straight answers on everything? Cause I personally think someone, I don’t know who, but someone or a group of people are, on purpose, omitting information to the public. If I’m going to have an opinion on something, I want all of it! And yes….I would like to see all 777 books of The Bible so I can make a better and informed choice for myself on what it is I believe. Because after a while, you never get a straight answer and, it just makes you look bad you know what I mean?
Because just like you people, I just want the truth. If the truth is believing that Jesus is my Lord and Savior and that it is through Him we are saved because of his sacrifice on the Cross, then I will go back to Church and go through all the motions of becoming a Parishoner again. I’m one of those people who believe in making an informed choice, because there’s a lot of manipulation and smoke and mirrors bullcrap that go on. I don’t want all of that….here’s my question, so just give me an answer. And some of these Priests, Cardinals, etc… would say “I don’t know.” And that’s fine, cause sometimes that is the answer “I don’t know.” But…when I found that there’s this thing called the Vatican Secret Archives, then, my mindset was “Ok….so I’m guessing it’s possible that a whole lot of people don’t really know what’s in there. But, it’s weird how we have that to begin with.” It’s just really fishy, you know what I mean? For a lot of the Church Hierarchy, to not actually know what’s down there, makes this even more sus.
Because now I’m at a stand-still. Do I take on this religion and its rules even though there’s some stuff that the public, in general will never see (basically do I rely on Faith alone for some of these questions), or do I continue to search for the truth. And it’s very possible that I might not ever find it, and I knew that from the beginning. But…when I did start searching for the truth myself….I’m figuring things out that would’ve really helped in my innerstanding of Jesus and God as a whole.
If you can be ok with certain things being unknown, then props to you. I want the truth, and yes, I am a huge skeptic. I figure things out based on what I observe, test, and research. Maybe this makes me a terrible person, but I want the truth, and as a person who values knowledge and honesty, I cannot in good faith be a part of a religion where even the higher ups are clueless regarding the mysteries surrounding The Vatican. All I’m asking for is transparency, that’s all. Ok, so if it’s not a big deal if the public never sees whats in those Archives, then why have them to begin with? Why label them “Vatican Secret Archives?” For me it’s about transparency more than anything.
