The openess will put the damper on the rumors that thrive when information is lacking.

That is an incredibly naive statement.

Sorry, but it is. People form their opinions and, once formed, do not let facts trouble them. Look at the Global Warming debacle for a classic example (or at any number of FR religion threads).

Sure, there are idiots in this world on all sides.

Don’t let them keep you down.

I think people are looking for a document that proves the pope did nothing wrong. They won't find such a document, because you can't prove a negative. And so no matter how open the archives become, some people will always say, "They're still hiding something. I just know it!"
