The Bible even prophesied about the damn cars we drive in today as Nahum 2:3-4 reads, “the chariots shall be with flaming torches (head lights) in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.

In all likeliness, they probably do have quite a few texts related to the occult and alchemy, but these treatises would not be held as mystical or "empowered," instead they would be kept as a matter of cultural/historical archive.

About the only one of those I find even remotely plausible would be the Grand Grimoire, regardless of how supernatural it may or may not be. If I was the head of a highly superstitious organization like The Catholic Church, I would absolutely keep whatever documentation was produced by my ostensible enemies. If I know their teachings, I know how they are likely to react to given events, and can plan accordingly. That is absolutely something that ANY major organization would do, religious or secular.

[@TheAussief1]

If the grand grimoire exists, if, then lost in the Vatican would be best place for it. For idiots and fools who believe that magic exist (spoiler it doesn’t) would be trying out the spells and potions in it, and I guess that human sacrifice would be part of them.

[@ABW941]

[@torjones1701]

@@TheAussief1 In the middle of every lie is hidden a truth to make that lie believable. The bigger the truth, the bigger the lie it will hide. The Bible holds many such truths which is why it can hide so many huge lies, like the existence of the supernatural. Regardless of what it contains, it is a historical relic just as important to know what it contains as Malleus Maleficarum. We have other historical records, like from the Incas, that demanded human sacrifice, and even some modern fabricated sources like Aleister Crowley's books, and few people are daft enough to follow them, and none to the point of murdering anyone. Such books pose little threat in the modern day, however, when society was much more superstitious it was a different story.

[@FutureBoyWonder]

Supernatural doesnt exist so its nothing special

[@torjones1701]

@@FutureBoyWonder That it doesn't exist is irrelevant, that it doesn't exist does not make it nothing special. Star Trek is just as fictional, and yet it has inspired hundreds of thousands of people to greater heights especially in the sciences. If not for that work of fiction, you probably wouldn't have a cellphone in your pocket today. Sir Isaac Newton, yeah, the apple guy, not only invented what we call 'Newtonian physics" in his honor, but invented Calculus, refined the field of Optics, was a Member of Parliament, and the Master of the Royal Mint where he established fiscal policy that many nations follow to this day. But he also wrote on the subject of Alchemy. Is his writings on Alchemy any less valuable than his writings on Gravity? I say it's even more important as it shows us who the man really was, yet another facet of his incredible mind. But if it was nothing special, then it wouldn't be preserved and nobody would remember some of the last notable works of the study of Alchemy before it ultimately morphed into the science Chemistry. That he was one of the great thinkers who helped turn it FROM Alchemy into Chemistry. But sure, since the supernatural doesn't exist, that nonsense isn't important.

Much as I love Simon's work and his channels there are some significant inaccuracies in this video regarding Fatima. The first secret didn't merely concern WWI but also (just before the Russian Revolution) prophesied that Russia would spread an atheistic persecution of faith throughout the world, leading to a general decline in religious faith across the 20th century, which indeed occured under its Communist regime. Regarding John Paul II, a vision of a bishop felled by gunfire was part of one of the visions, but the reason JPII regarded Our Lady of Fatima as key to his survival was that while he was shot on the anniversary of the apparitions, bullets aimed at his heart were deflected by a statue of Our Lady of Fatima he was carrying on his person when the gunman opened fire; that statue has been retained by the Vatican and is on public display.

The Pope traveled to Portugal and visited with St. Lucia (this is all on film). She told him that he was the Pope she was to give the last letter too. St. Lucia handed Pope John Paul II the letter. Check the film archives their meeting was lovely.

I have or had an uncle that i only met twice when i was a kid im 30 now and he was a high ranking official in the vatican, i believe he was in charge of press or something related to the books kept there. My mom told me he entered the secet library in the vatican that keeps highly secured books and he had a breakdown with one specific book he read, he resigned his job and was moved to another country. I have no idea what he saw or read but it broke the guy. I have no idea if he is even still alive. Last i saw him he was in a beach in mexico and i was probably 16 or something

People often dismiss religion as being anti-science, but fact is science was born from polytheistic, monotheistic, and philosophical traditions. The first universities were founded by the Roman Catholic Church to train future clergy. They taught astrology which eventually became mainstream astronomy (Galileo and Tycho Brahe, despite their dust ups with the church, were astrologers as much as we consider them astronomers today). Convents and monasteries were the few centers of learning during the Dark Ages, as they kept the only quasi public libraries containing books with everything from botany, math, and music, to teachings of famous and more obscure Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern, and European philosophers. Anything from Plato to Aristotle, to Algebra developed in the Middle East, and cultic math concepts around the Mediterranean like Pi, the Pythagorean theorem, rational numbers, etc., Egyptian mysteries, etc. It's no coincidence that the father of hereditary genetics was a Catholic monk--Gregor Mendel. Due the common study of music, they also developed extensive knowledge on harmonies and frequencies. When Protestants broke with the Catholic Church, they emulated the RC and founded their own universities. That's how Harvard came to exist in the U.S. and really all future research universities. In fact at places like Oxford and Cambridge, you couldn't hold certain administrative positions if you were not ordained clergy as late as the early 1900s. So considering the thousand years of accumulated knowledge of all kinds, it would not surprise me, that like the Library of Alexandria (where it was claimed there was a blueprint for the steam engine), the Vatican Library has a lot of obscure but extensive information on math and scientific concepts and experiments carried out, and collected over centuries. The Roman Catholic Church still operates astronomical observatories around the world, as well as universities. Which is why, if an object like the chronovisor existed, it would not be entirely surprising. The WWII era German and American governments by the way were aware of some of these developments. The U.S. in particular to this day works on top secret classified projects dealing in all sorts of fantastic technology in secret bases around the country and around the world. Operation Paperclip involved far more than the development of nuclear bombs and rocketry. Those are just the technologies we know of and made famous.

The story line in the television series version of Logan’s Run, supposedly a time machine is being constructed by one of the superpowers and the Soviets are threatening that if the time machine is to be activated, it will be the catalyst for World War III...because the user could theoretically reverse events that occurred in the past.

[@Gersti96]

[@suscon1140]

Withholding the Third Secret of Fatima, if it is / was the assassination or assassination attempt on a Pope, makes complete sense. Releasing such an item before the event would probably create "open season" on the Pope in the minds of people who are not sane or under the control of evil, etc.

[@KuK137]

It makes ZERO sense because if they had something like that, all they needed to do is deposit it with trusted lawyer and told him to release it after attempt to prove the existence of their voodoo. Instead, they waited 20 years till everyone involved forgets everything. Also, pope John Paul I was murdered for being too decent human, you'd think if voodoo girl sitting on a cloud wanted to save a pope, she would pick the decent one who died a martyr before doing anything good, not the pedophile and aids supporter who was only slightly wounded...

[@skyden24195]

Here's a theory pertaining to the "Third Secret of Fatima," i.e. assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II; The question: If the prediction was of the assassination attempt, why were actions not taken to prevent the assassination attempt? The answer: *History.* Explanation: Historically, there are many alleged or mythological stories which tell of a person receiving a prophecy of their own death, subsequently the person who is to die takes actions in order to prevent the prophecy from happening; these actions intended to prevent the inevitable, inevitably, are the actions which cause the inevitable, (the death of the person(s) prophesized to die.) (A few notable stories of this synopsis are found with Perseus, Oedipus, and Minos.) All this being noted, perhaps the Vatican, specifically Pope John Paul II, understood the futility of trying to prevent the inevitable. I make no attempt to imply that the "Third Secret of Fatima" was/is this prediction or that it is locked in the Vatican vault, I merely intend to point out a possibility of reason for action in the case of this theoretical reality.

[@magichands135]

It could also have come with a warning to not change cause of action, for reasons you named earlier. So, you can't change your actions or the situation, but you can have people around you for immediate help. Then again, it could also just have been about WWII, to stay on theme. Why give a prediction about WWI and then say nothing on WWII. Seems a little odd.

[@QBCPerdition]

It could also be, theoretically, because none of this is real, that if the prophecy talks of an attempted assassination, then going through with it is the best option. If you already know the pope will survive thus attempt, then let it happen and catch the perpetrator. If you change the course, the perpetrator may try a different time, and now you've lost the foreknowledge and the assurance of its failure. Again this assumes prophecy is real, which it isn't.
