Vatican opens secret documents archive

Vatican opens secret documents archive

What on earth these documents have been doing locked away I'll never know. But can you spot the glaring (well, glaring once it was pointed out to me!) error in the video? And it's not the invented word 'digitalise'.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

"...for maintaining that the sun moves around the Earth and not vice versa!" - the narrator got it totally wrong. :hilarity:

Thanks. You tipped me off - if you hadn't alerted me to the possibility of error in the clip I might have missed it. :D

Years ago, when I was studying Old English literature, a tutor said how much researchers wished to examine the Vatican docs, because they almost certainly contained a huge store of missing bits of English (and other) history and literature. This is boring, I know. Just stuck in my mind. Out now.
