Vatican: The Hidden World

A very interesting BBC documentry about the Pope and the Vatican.

A nice story about the altar boy who desired to personally serve the Pope.

I wonder how the VAtican management/restoration of its history, records, treasures etc compare to that of the SGPC looking after Sikh historical records and the like?

Also note the painstaking preservation of the Vatican buildings ,no toilet tiles or garish white marble being being slapped onto the buildings to beautify it.

Are you having a laugh? One spares absolutely no cost on its vast 1500 year old library of over 1m books documenting nearly all history in that period and religious movements - using the latest technology and employong the best professionals on Earth, whilst the other doesn't even provide as much care to preserving its history as an average person does preserving their family photo album.

You couldn't have provided a more extreme comparison - totally poles apart!!
