They are also consistent with him being unable to fake them, since he was dead.

A few people spoke on behalf of the Vatican. The main one had a big scary title, something like Head of the Office of Defense and Protection of Dogma. Ironically, he was a meek bald man with glasses.

The one confirmed case was St. Francis.

That's the Catholic cable network here.

We shouldn't rule out that these so called Church officials are actors with a great sense of humour. The world is full of lies and deceit ... erm ... I mean of course misunderstandings and misconceptions, Dear Doctor ...... and people dó need money .... even actors and documentary makers. 😀

So you are suggesting that the documentary makers are faking their evidence. That's known in the legal profession as 'libel'.

There's a documentary on the Shroud of Turin on now; guess it's that time of year on the National Geographic Channel. Funny thing is they have a guy on saying he's Pope Benedict dressed up in a clown suit.😛

Are you saying that the producers of the National Geographic documentary may have hired actors to portray Vatican officials, and passed them off as the real thing? You are so paranoid.

They taught me not to believe everything I read in the newspapers or see on the tube ...... The National Geographic documentaries I've seen did not excell in a scientific approach ..... rather popular entertainment I would say.

No, because libel requires that the claim have potential to be taken seriously. Nobody is going to take yet another of Saint Ivanhoe's paranoid concoctions as anything else.

Originally posted by DoctorScribbles
But do you actually entertain the idea that those portrayed in the documentary as real Vatican officials might have been merely actors?

Since when are you so big on having a scientific approach?

Orthodox ... at first glance.
