It's worse than that. What little evidence we shows reveals a nomadic tribe of Hebrews that waged war against the Egyptians. This is thought to have been the inspiration of Moses, since it's the closest thing we have to the story of exodus.

Reply to comment by GrumpyBearBank in TIL that Napoleon once gave an ornately decorated tiara (a crown) to the pope with 3345 precious jewels inlaid into it. This was actually intended to be an insult, as the tiara weighed 18 pounds and was too small to fit on a human head. by Specific_Success_875
Oh it's worse than hiding. Actively enabling, abetting, and recalling them to The Vatican, which is a Sovereign State, to avoid prosecution when they're discovered.
Pope Francis is the PR Pope, yet has done very little to actually change how they handle the child rape problems outside of "Stern warnings".

Reply to comment by The_Presitator in TIL Poltergeist, which came out in 1982, was rated PG. This is despite not just the movie fitting perfectly into the horror genre, but also many adult themes including the smoking of marijuana and a deep dive into the occult. by duganaok
PG and PG13 are both red flags for a very poor quality movie today. If I'm iffy about a movie and I see it's rated PG13, I'm not going to watch it. Because more often than not it's a terrible movie.
If I'm iffy on it and it's rated R, however, more often than not it ends up being worth the watch and effort. PG13 means they've watered down an R Rated movie to garner a larger audience. IE the upcoming Daredevil movie, which is self admitted to be less violent and "Friendlier to a larger audience". Completely disregarding the fact that what made the show a success is the violence and adult themes.
