Italian ‘mystic’ may face trial after DNA match with blood on Virgin Mary statue
Allegations of fraud against Gisella Cardia, who drew pilgrims by claiming statue wept tears of blood
There's a lot of fun to have in regards of DNA matching and christianity! There are several churches that are claiming to own body relics of Jesus Christ himself, including his blood and his foreskin:

Those are officially accepted by the catholic church. Official position of the catholic church is that Jesus is the son of God. Do a DNA test, check the Y chromosome, get Gods DNA. Have fun analyzing it or cloning God.
Believe it or not, there's a whole scifi/paranormal/religion movie behind this premise, where
"Cardia’s lawyer, Solange Marchignoli, suggested that the presence of Cardia’s DNA did not rule out a supernatural phenomena."
WTF. It absolutely does. Rapist will be claiming their DNA doesn't rule out that the baby was put their by God.
I think the point is that her DNA being present doesn't preclude other DNA being present too.
Which is true.
But we didn't need dna evidence to know this is stupid.
C'mon now, I thought my virgin birth joke was funny. Maybe people didn't pick up on the sarcasm.
Obviously she's the reincarnation of Mary. Why are they prosecuting this saint?
