'SECRET VATICAN ARCHIVES 'CONTRIVING TO DECEIVE'

The recent publication of ancient scriptures realed incontrovertible

evidence of an intrinsic system of priestly fraudulence operating within
Christianity. These writings exposed a church in which false pretences are
the basis of its existence and forged texts form the essence of its history
and preaching.

Using the scroll discovery, papal statements, and the evidence of history
as the basis of his assertions, Tony Bushby takes his readers into the
shadowy world of ecclesiastical dishonesty where, for centuries, an
unprincipled church plotted and schemed its stratagem to perpetuate and
maintain a false faith and exploit a gullible public. Now, new evidence
from church archives reveals Christianity's darkest secret..and the
conclusion is staggering.'

The following is extracted from Chapter One;

The discovery of hidden church scrolls

In 1925, a young priest studying in Rome obtained access to a cache of

ancient Aramaic and Hebrew scrolls in a locked cupboard in the Secret
Archives of the Vatican. The existence of two of those documents reveals
centuries of deceit by the Christian church and provides invaluable new
material about the origin of the New Testament. The priest's name was
Edmond Bordeaux Szekely and the scrolls he presented to the world
provide dramatic evidence that the writings upon which Christianity
stands are not authentic records, but premeditated forgeries.

Edmond Bordeaux Szkeley was educated in a Catholic monastery of the

priarist order (Regulares paupers Matris Dei scholarum Piarum) in central
France and during the latter years of his early education, wrote an
obligatory graduating thesis about the Italian monk, St Francis of Assisi.
Shortly after Szekely's induction, he was summoned to the office of the
headmaster and Prior of the monastery, Monsignor Mondik, who
suggested that Szekely continue his studies at the Vatican in Rome.
Mondik handed him a 'Letter of Introduction' to his old schoolmate,
Monsignor Angelo Mercati (1870-1955), Prefect of the Archives of the
Vatican saying, 'With this letter, the doors of the Archives will be open to
you, so you may find out everything about St Francis, as you expressed
your wish to do so in your thesis'. Upon arriving in Rome, Szekely
established his accommodation in a small rooftop room and proceeded to
the Vatican. There he descended to the Vatican. There he descended a
stairway and subsequently found Monsignor Mercati and his book-filled
study.
Monsignor Mercati was a noted auhtority on patristic and scholastic
literature in subjects pertaining to early church history. He was a learned
man and wrote more than a dozen in-house books on philosophical and
theological subjects for the church. He also 'wrote many long treatises,
miscellaneous essays, and shorter articles usually occassioned by the
discovery of hitherto unknown documents' (New Catholic Encyclopedia;
1967, Vol IX, pg 668-669. Mercati's shorter works were collected as Saggi
di storia e letteratura; Rome 1951). His job was to analyse old church
manuscripts and publish detailed summaries of their contents for
catergorizing in the Inner Library. While the majority of his books are
unavailable to the general public they are listed in the Vatican's
Miscellanea Archivista (AM, St Test 165, 1952), and some carry intriguing
titles like Peter the Sinner, Lives of the Presbyters, The Divine Julius, and
The Private Libraries of the Popes.

Szekely was accepted into the Vatican Archives as a privileged student

and initailly offered general guidance by staff and attendants. Some time
later, Monsignor Mercati assigned to him an Aramaic-Hebrew guide, with
whom he became good friends. Upon the advice of Monsignor Mercati,
Szekely later spent time researching a particular set of documents in the
vitrines in the Scriptorium in the Monte Cassino monastery, located about
half way between Rome and Naples. He described the collection as 'a
collection of sentences and passages extracted from writings of the
church Fathers' and endeavoured in vain to reconcile the statements with
his earlier Christian training. The document Szekely referred to fits the
description of the ancient The Book of Sentences, also a collection of
'sentences and passages drawn from the Fathers' (Elliott's Delineation of
Romanism; 1884, pg456), and public knowledge of its existence was
unknown until the 17th Century. 'This production became the text-book of
theologians and contained many declarations highly worthy of the
attention of the curious' (Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, ed.Smith and
Cheetham, London, 1875).

Returning to the Vatican, Szekely discussed his findings with Monsignor

Mercati and revealed his newfound concerns about the historicity of Jesus
Christ and the church portrayal of its early history. Realising that Szekely
was on the path of discovery, Mercati showed him to a locked walk-in
cupboard at the end of the corridor leading from the rear of his study. It
contained a collection of old scrolls protected by an 'awesome looking
Swiss guard' and Mercati arranged with the guard for Szekely to have
access to the cupboard at his convenience. Szekely spoke in awe of his
experience; 'I entered the secret room as an initiate of old must have
entered the sacred chamber of the Great Pyramid, and this time I did not
take my Aramaic guide with me. I burrowed through the dusty
manuscripts as if I had a map to show me the way, and it was not long
before I found what I had been seeking'.

With Monsignor Mercati's blessing, Szkeley systematically took a choice of

'secret scrolls' to his abode of an evening and in due course learned from
them what he subsequently termed 'an unutterably precious secret', the
false nature of Christianity. Szekely discussed with Mercati whether he
should 'overlook the evidence of history' and 'bury the shame of this
discovery' or depart from the church to reveal the information to others.
Mercati claimed that he personally withheld the knowledge because of his
parent's devotedness to the church, but he felt that in doing so, he had
'betrayed his own soul'. Mercati revealed that cardinals and bishops of the
Vatican had read his summaries of the hidden scrolls and knew of their
contents and existence in the secret vaults.(Saggi di storia e letteratura;
Rome, 1951)

Having learnt ancient Hebrew from his translator, Szekely began the long
task of manually translating the ancient manuscripts into the English and
French languages. A personal friend of Szekely , Purcell Weaver (later
Bishop Weaver) assisted in translating the work and in 1937 the first
modern transliteration was completed and published. Szekely
consequently left the church and extended his education at the
Universities of Paris, Vienna and Leizig, where he became known as Dr
Bordeaux. In his extensive later writings he described the inner lower
chambers of the Vatican as;

'dozens of subdivisons in endless halls and corridors, the Archivum Arcis,

the Miscelanea, The Instrumenta, The Miscelanea Fondi and the index
room where scholars struggled to make sense out of over six hundred
handwritten indexes, which were woefully incomplete. The Vatican Library
itself is mainly a large collection of individual books. The Secret Archives
of the Vatican comprise more than twenty miles of bookshelves of scrolls,
parchments, paper manuscripts and codices. In one spare, dust filled room
there are over 10,000 packages of unexamined documents.'

(editor; I hope to post an extremely rare photograph of the archives

desribed as above..awesome. Got to wrest it off it's owner first)

The church confirmed the existence of Secret Archives and revealed that
the treasure house of ancient documents is unavailable to the general
public.

It is impossible to furnish even an approximately accurate estimate of the

number of letters, reports, documents, protocols, minuteswhich are
contained in the Secret ArchivesIndexes (681) have been compiled
during the last 300 years for the convenience of the adminstration and
must be regarded exclusively as pure administrative helps, not as aids to
scholarly investigation (Catholic Encyclopedia, vol XV, oct 1, 1912, pg 287-
290).

Since Skeley recorded his account (c1937) other spectacular old writings
were deposited in the Vatican including the collection from the library of
the monastery of Monte Cassino that Szekely had earlier referenced.
Among the monastery's collection were works of Cicero, Senaca, Josephus,
Tacitus, Jerome, Augustine, Philo of Alexandria and more than 40,000
additional valuable parchments that found refuge in the Secret Archives of
the Vatican. (editor; the approach of the coming battle between the allies
and Nazis instigated the removal of the monastery's archival library to
Rome for safe keeping)

According to Szekely's records, 'unexpurgated editions' of ancient Gospels

carrying the titles of Mark, Matthew, Barnabus, James, Peter and Thomas
are also stored in the vaults along with a series of other writings used by
presbyters in the Third Century. In addition, Szekely mentioned the
existence of such rare writings as the Gospel of Julius Caesar (editor; see
the book 'The Bible Fraud' By Tony Bushby to know what Julius Caesar has
to do with New Testament, you'll be really surprised), the Book of the
Obstetrician, the Book of Jasher, the Canto of Krst and the Physiologist,
supposedly written by 'Essene heretics' and later attributed to Ambrose,
Bishop of Milan (339-397). He also recorded the existence of a bundle of
pamphlets written by an early presbyteer, Quintus Tertullian (c160-220),
today called Bishop Tertullian, the author of works entitled 'Apology' and
'Prescriptions', and some manuscripts supposedly written by Simon the
Magician of New Testament fame. Most of those writings are known to
have once existed but were thought lost until noted in Szekely's records.

In addition to 'secret scrolls' other writings found in the Vatican collection

included ancient versions of the first five books of the Old Testament (the
Torah), copies of the Book of Enoch, early presbyter's personal letters,
additional untitled Gospels and a series of texts composed of
communions, prayers, psalms, prophecies and laments. That remarkable
collection also contains an assortment of religious instructions to the
Essene monks of Khirbat Qumran written by a person called the "Master",
and both Monsignor Mercati and Szekely understood that person to be the
'Teacher of Righteousness', the main character in the Dead Sea Scrolls
(reviewer ; understand this is about 20 years before the discovery of the
scrolls in 1945 in caves in and around Qumran).
The more valuable writings were stored with other documents in a 'top
secret' part of the Vatican. In 1856, German theologian H C Whydman
(History of the Canon of Scripture, c1862) spent five years researching in
the Vatican archives and frequented 'a secret library containing 560,000
un-translated ancient volumes containing some extraordinary ancient
documents' associated with Christianity's earliest days. Whydaman spoke
of an 'intriguing scroll' that the church 'would not be willing to have go
into the hands of the public' adding that 'spurious treatises often ascribed
to the pens of distinguished Ecclesiastics' (Ibid) were also held in the
clandestine vaults. The existence of a hidden high security facility was
confirmed on page 290 of the Catholic Encyclopedia(vol XV. Oct 1, 1912)

'There is a special archive on the third story of the palace, where also the
archive of the Congregation for Extraordinary Affairs. This archive admits
no investigator, and questions on particular points addressed to it by
scholars have failed to receive answers.the volumes of this archive
contain very interesting information'.

In earlier volumes of the Catholic Encyclopedia (1907-14), a major section

recorded comprehensive information about the Secret Vatican Archives
and in 1912 provided a list of documents (pg 288) conveying the extent of
the archives. however, the 1967 edition mentioned 'Secret Archives" only
once and again in relation to Monsignor Angelo Mercati. The reference was
Mercati's proposal to the church heirarchy to divide the Secret Archives
into two major divisions with ten separate sub-divisions and rename them
the Archives of the Castel Sant' Angelo (New Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol
XIV; 1967, pg 552). Some of the hidden scrolls they held were thought to
originally be part of an antiquated collection known to have been assigned
to the Vatican Archives in 1810 by the Bolognetti-Cenci family and
contained scrolls of great antiquity. Cardinal Carpegna's renowned 'library
of manuscripts' is also preserved in the Secret Archives and 'consisted of
229 volumes in folioan extensive mass of ecclesiastical lore..including
treatises of the fathers of the Asiatic and African churches..which form a
library in themselves' (Ecclesiastical History, J L Mosheim, D.D. 6 vols,
London, 1825).

What the two important scrolls arThe scrolls found in the Secret Archives
have profound implications for the church and their existence provides for
a complete reconsideration of the entire orthodox presentation of
Christian history. The evidence of the scrolls contradicts church claims
that the New Testament constitutes an infallible record against which
there is no appeal and provides a vivid new picture of early Christian
development. The full collection of Szekely's translations was published in
various books between 1937 and 1972 and the scrolls important to this
presentation were included. Because those particular manuscripts were
not publicaly recognised for what they really were , they failed to capture
popular attention and their imporatnace went unnoticed.

The Catholic Encyclopedia states that, "Our documentary sources of

knowledge about the origin of Christianity and its earliest developments
are chiefly the New Tetament scriptures'. That admission, despite the
church being unable to substantiate the authenticity of any of it's writings
or the stories carried in them, particularly those in the Gospels of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. When discussing Gospel origins in the
1967 edition of its Encyclopedia, the church covered its position with this
comment; "We must begin with the realization that these (Gospel)
accounts are not biographies of Jesus and still less scientific history' (New
Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol XII, 1967, pg 403). The scroll discovery revealed
to the world just what the entire aggregation of church writings really was
and brought out in the open, for the first time, the critical principle that
determined their existence.

The two significant manuscipts provide incontrovertible evidence that the

church's prsentation of the story of Jesus Christ is false. Found in the
Vatican collection were original exemplars of two major New Testament
writings annd Szekely revealed his knowledge of what they really were by
subtly calling one the Essene Gospel of John, and the other the Essene
Book of Revelation. Those scrolls were the forerunner writings of the
canonical versions of the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation and
their existence provides documentary evidence that the New Testament is
a priesthood fabrication.

The most important aspect of the discovery of the 'Vatican Scrolls' is that
they pre-dated the commencement of Christianity. Mercati and Szekely
established from Prologues attached to the scrolls that the writings were
originally aprt of a collection of manuscripts once belonging to the library
of the Essenes, one of three religious sects in the Roman provinces, the
other two being the Pharisees and Sadducees.

From the church standpoint their writings are a unique and inspired record
of a remarkable revelation, but the existence of pre-Christian versions of
two of its official texts undermines its claim of a 'revelatory' origin to the
New Testament. Everything ever said by the church about the
development of Christianity is proved false by the publication of the
'Vatican scrolls' and a full account of the total collection of those
manuscripts now stands before the public in twenty six languages.
