1000s Flock To Witness Miraculous 'walking statue'

Thousands of Italians have flocked to a small southern town after witnesses claimed to have filmed a miraculous “walking statue” of the Madonna with their video phones.

Acerra, near Naples, is now likely to become a Roman Catholic shrine. Rumours began at the weekend when several people at the modern church of San Pietro shouted out that a statue by the altar was moving. The hands and feet of the Madonna had begun to “take human form, flesh and blood”. The knees then appeared to move beneath her white robes, “as if she wanted to move closer to the faithful” and a cross appeared on her breast. Parishioners said that the movement had first been noticed by cleaners, who had kept silent for fear of being disbelieved. The 160cm (63in) high statue, made of plaster and marble dust, was installed at the church last December. Father Oreste Santoro, the parish priest, said that he had not seen the statue move but a number of parishioners had allegedly taken footage of the “miracle” with their mobile phones.

These had been forwarded to the local bishop, Monsignor Giovanni Rinaldi, who would decide whether to refer the apparition to the Vatican for authentication. Mgr Rinaldi said that he was sceptical by instinct but would evaluate the evidence. “The true miracle is when the Virgin Mary succeeds in converting men to God,” he said. Mgr Antonio Riboldi, the retired bishop of Acerra, also urged caution, saying that “these matters are often difficult to comprehend. The Church proceeds with great prudence where apparitions of the Virgin Mary are concerned”.

It is false. It isn't real, unless a person is the statue.
