Just taking a wild guess here; I just saw a movie on smallpox, so I though that might have something to do with it. The two men and the dead person in the bag are bioterrorists. The dead man was infected with smallpox. They left his body in the bag and infected themselves with the disease. When they saw a stranger, they ran up to meet him in order to infect him, and thus spread the disease (this would also make the bag unnecessary).

Actually, no it doesnt. It only halves the points of the puzzle.

Since you guys completely missed the question, heres the answer.

-The two men were the only survivors of a plane crash in a valley. They had no supplies so they were forced to resort to cannabalism. They walked for days before getting to civilization, where they buried their bag of meat and never returned for it.(Obviously out of shame)-

Hmmm... Yes... maybe you should abuse hints...

Question 38: The two Climbers (80 points)

'Alan and Barry were two avid climbers. They both had their eye on climbing the city's Cathedral Spire, but they both knew it would not be allowed by the authorities or the archbishop. The archbishop had taken a vow to uphold the dignity of his cathedral, and would most certainly not have two men climbing on it for fun.
Alan proposed that they climb the spire at night, but Barry had a better idea. The following morning, he knocked on the archbishop's door, got his permission, and climbed the spire in broad daylight. How did Barry manage to convince the archbishop to let them climb the spire?'

Did he tell the archbishop that he was on a journey of enlightenment and to get closer to God, he had to get close physically and the only place he could do that was climb the Cathedral Spire.

I doubt that. This is clearly a christian church. The christian theology does not support the idea of going on a journe of enlightenment, not does it believe one needs to be physically close to God to become closer to God. In this case, the archbishop would have most likely told him this and sent him off without permission.
