re: History Channel: Vatican Secret Archives

Most of it is accounts and records from Constantinople after the Sacking in 1204. The Vatican had always hated the Roman Empire after they left Italy for the East.
Most of the documents are from the various Church Councils held by the Roman Empire from 330-1100 AD.
Why?
Because the documents tend to give full authority to the Emperor, and Eastern Patriarchates and Bishoprics. This takes away from the Papal Supremacy doctrine. Before Charlemagne, Popes had to be approved by the Roman Emperor in Constantinople (New Rome).
Why still keep some secret? Mostly because it's been a policy for centuries, so why not.
Also it's not like they are "secret" archives. Just not open to the public.

Why don't they digitize them and make them open to the public?
