Okay guys, I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

Not, so much that medical technology (or God's Divine Will) can't save the Supreme Pontiff, but because my paranoid mind addled by cleaning products has just thought up the unthinkable. What if the original surgery (making a hole in the Pope, so he could breathe) was really the first steps in a coup the likes of which the Vatican, and the world has never seen!
Of course, I'm talking about replacing Pope John Paul, with an Animatronic robo-pope! Now, take this for instance...
"He made the sign of the Cross with his hand, while the blessings were read out by an aide. A microphone was placed in front of the Pope, but he struggled to speak and it was removed."
Wouldn't this be a perfect test of their creation - high in a window, the robot makes the sign of the cross with his hand...then they test out his vocal programming...which results in a garbled expression, when they quickly take away the mic, then whisk robo-pope off to be worked on by Vatican tech-boys.
The possibility is the scary part...

I heard on the news that the Pope had a bladder infection, too. Priests read him the Last Rights, but supposedly the fans, um, I mean, the people of the church are not supposed to be alarmed.
Um, D.T., I think you're right! The pope is gonna kick the bucket, and he'll be replaced by a lookalike robot. Then, he'll never die!!
Wait-on second thought, I think too many of those sneaky cardinals are going for the throne. Nope-No chance of the robot happening.
Man Ric, buzzkill! Of course, you're right...those sneaky cardinals! Damn them! Damn those sneaky cardinals...
if Sneaky Cardinals is not a massively great band name, I don't know what is.
