I don't have the current article, but believers are once again flocking to the Sacramento based Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church to see what appears to be red liquid coming from the eyes of the statue of the mother of the Lord.
Wheres James Randi when you need the guy?

It would be interesting to know what was really going on...like a leak in the roof. Sorry, but I'm not a believer in actual weaping art.
I kind of wonder if those idols -- er, statues -- are constructed with internal waterworks that are turned on several decades after the statue is installed....I mean, look at all the publicity it can give your church...

I thought the same thing Leolaia. A crying Mary would certainly have a stamp of approval that god was with this church eh?
The article went on to say that most of these seemingly miracles are hoaxes or natural phenomenons with explained occurences when anylized. Besides.......we ex-dubs know for a fact that god can't be with the Catholics..........the #1 slut of Babylon..................................................................................just kiddin you catholics

Hell, I bet if I were to start bleeding out of my eyes I wouldn't get a crowd coming to see me.
Hell, I bet if I were to start bleeding out of my eyes I wouldn't get a crowd coming to see me. I did start bleeding from my eyes & all that came to see me was two ambulance guys!!! They didnt even call me Mary!!!! When I was a JW we had a fellow give a talk supposedly he was an EX Catholic ( prominant one) in the Church that the blood would drop from the heart of Mary-- he told us that there was a pump in the statue that when it got lots of people in it--- the heat would make the red blood( dye) start slowly falling. Cant say if this is true or not I believed it as a witness ---now I dont know weather HE was speaking truth

Course you wouldn't. Mary's eyes ain't red from smokin dubbies ya silly! Gumby
I am convinced that many of such and similar occurances are hoaxes and tricks to attract gullible folks (and their money). It is a true shame to suck money out of often already poor people, just for the sake of greediness. It is even more of a shame to hide behind a "miracle from above" to do such. When things like this happen, like Mary crying.. the state really should do a thorough investigation, perhaps break the statue if they have to.. if it turns out to be a hoax, they should put whoever is behind it in jail for a very long time.
When I was much younger, one of my hobbies was to "look into" supernatural occurances which have to do with religions. The only one I could never discard as a hoax was the appearance of Mary to Bernadette at Lourdes, France. I even went to Lourdes to check things out, but that was a mistake. The place is swamped with tourists, and if you want to see some real human suffering from very close up, Lourdes is the place to go. However, I pretty much read everything there was to read about the subject of Lourdes, and to this day, I still wonder.. I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this.
My eye didn't bleed the other day... but my lens did fall out!
Nuh-uh...the REAL Virgin Mary is in Dallas -- on a tree trunk. Yep, I saw her right there in the bark, on TV, with my own eyes!
And rabbits have very good eyes !
