    Default Vatican Reveals Letter That Split England From Roman Church

    Vatican Reveals Letter That Split England From Roman Church



    The Vatican has opened its Secret Archives, the repository of centuries worth of documents pertaining to the Holy See, to let the world get a closer look at a document presaging England’s split from the Church of Rome. Dated July 13, 1530 and addressed to Pope Clement VII, the letter asks for the annulment of Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon and includes the seals of dozens of peers of England who concurred with the request. A facsimile of the document will go on sale next month for about $68,000 from Venice-based publisher Scrinium, which plans a limited run of 199 copies.
    A second, more damaged, copy of the document is in England’s National Archives in Kew. The facsimile and accompanying scholarly texts will allow for closer perusal of “the cause of Henry VIII,” Monsignor Sergio Pagano, the archive’s Prefect, told journalists on Tuesday. It will be officially presented in June, on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Henry’s coronation, but the timing is a coincidence, Monsignor Pagano said. “We do not celebrate kings, only popes.”

    Why is the Vatican making money out of this? Why isn't the text made public domain?

    The international community should force the Vatican to open all its volumes to public scrutiny.

    There'll be some skeletons in their closet. Opening up the Vatican archives could potentially change the way we look at many events in European history.

    Not to mention, various heretical and "pagan" religious movements; Gnosticism, etc.

    maybe let historians go through them first? in any case, I think the Vatican has no right to deny us our history. let alone make money of it.

    Yes, which is why they should be opened. Unless we're going to sponsor some state historians to look through first them, then I don;t see why the documents can't just be released to the public immediately. There are loads of historians, all with potentially different interpretations, they shouldn't be confined to a few people.

    It probably already is. The reproductions were probably intended for scholars (as most Vatican editions), but I guess it gathered intention somehow.

    The "international community" doesn't exist, the "Secret Archives" aren't really secret at all and there's nothing to "scrutinize".
    The Church doesn't owe anything to you.
