Virgin Scam – Non-Fiction

Pope Francis recently issued a stern warning against blindly believing in apparitions of the Virgin Mary, in the wake of an Italian woman’s exposed scam involving a statue allegedly shedding tears of blood.

Maria Giuseppe Scapular gained a devout following and was even referred to as, “The Saint,” by some, as she hosted ceremonies for worshipers seeking cures for ailments through prayers to the supposedly miraculous statue.

However, a cloud of controversy enveloped Scapular as stories of swindled donations emerged and a private investigator claimed the blood to be of pig origin. Amidst the uproar, Pope Francis emphasized that genuine Marian devotion should direct attention towards Jesus, rather than being self-centered.

Scapular, defiant in the face of investigations, declared, “I won’t budge an inch because I’m in the house of God and have the Madonna on my side.”
