There are plenty of popes and bishops in Dante's hell. It's pretty much traditional.
St. Augustine refused his friends' entreaties to become a bishop until they finally persuaded him, because he was reluctant to take on the enormous responsibility of a bishop: responsibility for the souls of all those under his care.
A bishop can't MAKE his people be virtuous, but he is obligated to do everything he can to teach and persuade them. If he is negligent in his duties he has much to answer for.

Father Maniyangat's Parish is about a 45 minute drive from my house. He has a healing service the first Saturday of every month and I plan on attending the one this weekend. I have heard nothing but positive stories from members of my Parish who have gone to them.
It is rather interesting that his Parish is one of the smallest ones in the Diocese. It is located "out in the country" in an area that I can't imagine more than 5% of the people are Catholic.

Three thoughts:
***'I'm going to take you to Heaven. The Lord wants to meet you.'***
This is a very strange phrase. Didn't the Lord already know him?
***I saw God face to Face, and Jesus and Mary, so bright and illuminating.***
In the Bible, anyone who sees God fall down like they are dead - Even in the New Testament John fell at Jesus feet as dead. This seems far to blasé.
***'I need you. I want you to go back.***
God doesn't NEED anyone or anything. He commands and His servants either obey or disobey.

1. he was in a coma and was hallucinating (people have bodies in hell but only his soul was there?)
2. he is too old now and is hallucinating, making up stories of what happened twenty years ago.
3. He has permanent brain damage and is hallucinating.
4. he is perfectly well and is padding his church attendence with "healing" services.
