Brad, I'm not sure where you'll be when the Pope meets our Maker, but I'd guess you won't be there. It seems clear to me that you're speaking out of a great deal of colossal ignorance, but let me ask a couple of questions. What do you think the Vatican is lying about? What did they lie about before? (please provide the actual statement) And then there is the mother of all curious remarks:

"Hmmm, if the Pope has "bat-phone" access to God, why is he even ill? What a sham.....or maybe he's getting payback."

What is meant by this? Are you thinking that religion is a sham unless someone can coax God into letting them skip the death part?
