The Vatican is a place shrouded in ritual, secrecy, and centuries of hidden knowledge, making it the perfect breeding ground for unsettling questions: What if faith conceals something monstrous? What ancient texts, relics, or forbidden truths lie buried beneath its marble halls? These stories strike at the tension between belief and doubt, light and shadow, drawing us into a world where even holiness might hide horror.
