Padre Pio's so-called "uncorrupted" body took days of work by a whole team of morticians before it was recently displayed. Most so-called "uncorrupted" saints are merely desiccated, and often there faces are covered with wax masks to make them look "fresh" It's basically a fraud.

Okay, I clicked on your link. Do you really think, if this were valid, it wouldn't pique the interest of science? I assure you it would. So how come I haven't heard about this before? I don't recall seeing any headlines to the effect of "300 year old dead body refuses to rot." Believe only half what you see, and in your case, nothing what you think.

The same way I would explain uncorrupted bodies of Japanese Buddhist Monks. (it's not JUST a christian thing)

Even if they were uncorrupted how as a christian would you know they were not a trick by satan? Perhaps another deity or spirit could be responsible besides satan.

I assume your talking about non-CATHOLICS. Not non-Christians. And since there's nothing in the Bible about the "saints", I leave it up to you to figure out who else besides God could keep a body from decaying. Someone who would want to draw focus away from the Bible and to the Catholic church?

They waxed her face. When first exhumed 30 years after her death, her nose had deteriorated and her eyes were sunken and blackened. A little cosmetic trickery fools a lot of fools.

I don't think we need to explain them. However, there are cases of natural mummification occuring do the the environmental conditions (temp, humidity, etc).

They trade out the bodies every few years, everyone on the planet has at least one look-alike, another can be replaced, dont be daft. On a more sinister note, isnt it easy for the Vatican to produce dead bodies? after all catholicism is the religious mafia -so is protestantism for that matter

I'm confused, wasn't St. Bernadette one of the crag queens in the movie Priscilla Queen of the Desert?

Actually a lot of those bodies are starting to decay and are having wax added to them like Lenin.
