Episode 12 – Vatican Secrets: Lost Gospels, Hidden Vaults & Papal Mysteries
What is the Vatican hiding? Is it just dusty paperwork and centuries of church memos … or are there secret gospels, forbidden treasures, and enough scandal to make The Da Vinci Code look like a children’s book?
In this episode of Don’t Quote Me… It’s Probably Nothing, I dive headfirst into the conspiracies and mysteries of the Vatican. We’ll talk about:
- The banned Gospels of Thomas, Mary Magdalene, and Judas — and why the Church didn’t want you reading them.
- Hidden vaults and catacombs rumored to contain the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, and maybe even evidence of aliens.
- Scandals that rocked the Vatican Bank, mafia ties, and the pope who mysteriously died after just 33 days.
- Assassination attempts, Cold War secrets, and why the Vatican is the ultimate locked door we’re dying to peek behind.
And because every episode needs a soundtrack, this week’s Song of the Week is “Let Fade” by Five Pie — a Delco basement-show classic that’ll transport you straight back to early 2000s battle of the bands nights.
Whether you believe the Vatican is hiding world-shattering secrets or just centuries of messy receipts, one thing’s for sure: the mystery is half the fun.
