I don't exactly understand what causes you to go to the "drug abuser" statement, rather than arguing the point.

You state that John XXIII did not agree w/Hildebrand regarding certain malevlent interests occupying the Vatican, among other places--and that John XXIII was, somehow "more knowledgeable" than Hildebrand.

I challenge you to demonstrate how J23 was so much more competent than H. on the particular charges.

You have yet to respond. We know, e.g., that Bugnini was not only a practicing homo, but also a Mason. Yet J23 kept him at the Vat for a while--until he found out about Bugger Bugnini's proclivities.

THEN Paul VI rehabilitated Bugger--only to get double-crossed, and send the jackass to Iran--(and Rembert to Milwaukee, by some strange co-incidence.)

So: answer the question, please? Does the Pope possess supernatural knowledge of the character and affiliations of Vatican employees/Bishops/Cardinals? Please, do tell!!!

The drug comment, as indicated by the smile icon was just a wiseguy reference to Limbaugh.

I presume the Pope knows more than me. That includes every Pope who has lived or will ever live.

Well, there is the fact, for starters, that he was Pope.
