Church ideology as we are taught it represents truth, charity and goodwill. Keeping secrets and knowledge from its followers does not support this system of belief.
The bottom line is that there is nothing "holy" about the Vatican and it has only served as a focal point in a system of control developed over millennia. This is not to say that the entire religious system is corrupt, but those at the top for the most part are.
Is some regular person or business obligated to share their property with others? Not at all.
Should the Vatican (the center of Christianity... harbingers of truth, charity and goodwill) be held to a higher moral standard, championing the beliefs they themselves preach? Are they responsible for sharing any knowledge they might have amongst their followers?? Absolutely.
Don't expect much from them. They named their telescope Lucifer for fuck sakes, that should tell you something about their mindset.
