This makes problems with the stupid idea that the papacy could fit the bill there, but even in the old days of pissed-off, big cheese God, there was a guy named Metatron who organized his memos, even though a prophet or two got fucked by confusing him with the real deal. Also, I agree with 'nefarious plot', this is so damn irrelevant it makes my head hurt.

Most Afro-Brasillians are Christian. Your idea of communicating with intermediaries goes against the Bible and all of Christianity. If Catholicism were not Christian based then your idea would be fine. Now you know why it is a false doctrine.
