I saw this article on the news the other night. They shot a close up
of the substance that was oozing from the statue of Mary. Now it was
red, but where it was dry it didn't look like dried blood I'm not a
scientist or medical practitioner but dried blood has always looked to
me to be a uniform brown colour. The part they did the close up on,
was still red and where it had dried in a circle it had a distinct
dark border with a lighter coloured centre, as if the bulk of the
substance had migrated to the edge of the dry patch leaving just a
modicum of it in the centre. They also showed the cloth, but from a
distance and it appeared similar.
Now I have no doubt miracles occur and it seems to me that these
desperate times could certainly use one or two of them but I think it
is prudent in this instance to wait and see what our Catholic brothers
make of it.

SYDNEY, May 25 (Reuters) - Several statues of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary
in an Australian hall have apparently begun weeping and bleeding rose oil,
prompting the Catholic Church to launch an investigation, a church official
said on Tuesday.
Hundreds of people have flocked to a Vietnamese community hall near St Mary's
Church in the Brisbane suburb of Inala after news spread that several statues,
crucifixes, tablecloths and a set of prayer beads were oozing rose-scented oil.
"It's one of those matters where you proceed prudently," said Father Adrian
Farrelly, who has been appointed by the church to investigate the incident.
The objects, which reportedly began bleeding and weeping a week ago, have been
placed behind glass in the hall until investigators can examine them.
"It looks genuine enough, but then I suppose I don't know what a fake one looks
like," visitor Mark Power told Brisbane's Courier-Mail newspaper on Tuesday.
"I'd like to believe, but (I'll) wait and see what the church says."

Nova your view is very much on the mark with this one and worth it's weight in
gold. It is very important for all of us to wait and see if there is any truth
to these claims before launching into a slander campaign. Speak only when it
is essential to you and you'll find that it was something about nothing that
may or may not be true.
Blessings of peace to you and yours...
