I have never seen a Catholic bible, but i have heard there is some of that stuff in it.
Wayne:
Hey y'all ! Yes, I have heard of those but haven't read them yet ... that would be fun! :D
I've read some of the gnostic texts like the gospel of Thomas (great except for the last verse .... >:( ) and the gospel of Mary (weird, but ??? ) In the last 20 years or so the gospel of Judas has surfaced as well.
Like you say, lots of different perspectives!

If these two events were close together, maybe this is the same young man?

Well we get a quick answer to at least the first question in chapter 11. The next event is Palm Sunday, the week that Jesus died.
So if Secret Mark is true, it is strongly plausible that that naked man is the same naked man who the authorities almost capture with Jesus a few days later in the official version of Mark 14. :D
I think Jesus had a boyfriend! :-* :-*

Also let's take a look again at chapter 10 verses 17-22, the part about the rich young man seeking eternal life ...
"Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said ... (sell all you have, give it away, and come with me) ... The man went away sorrowing, for he was rich"
This sounds similar to the reaction AND the circumstances of the man raised from the dead just a few verses later in Secret Mark:
"the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich."
Maybe this was the same man?!? :D
And this is how they fell in love ... :)
