The Catholic Archbishop of Perth has declared that the
"Weeping Mary" statue of Rockingham does not constitute a miracle.
Thousands flocked to view the fibreglass statue after it started shedding oily
tears in March last year.
Pilgrims made donations amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.
Now, a Church Commission of Inquiry says it shouldn't be declared a miracle,
because other, more earth-bound explanations couldn't be ruled out.
