The pope is just business and politics, the lightning striking the vatican at the same night on the other hand...I don't know.

The meteor is a sign. Don't know what to make of it yet, but from what I have read, these things have always been considered bad signs and warnings, they are also mentioned in the bible. This thing in Russia could have killed thousdands of people but aside from injuries, no one was killed. It's a sign.

The dolphins is what really makes me scratch my head...everytime fishes have gathered in masses like that in the past a huge and devastating earthquake followed shortly after. Dolphins are the most intelligent species after the human race, no need to read to much into it but only an idiot could ignore this.
