On the Streets of Babylon: Olive Oil Tears

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,...  Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4
There seems to be "Olive Oil Tears" shedding from idols on the Streets of Babylon....
 
"The Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces continues to investigate a Virgin Mary sculpture in a Hobbs church that appears to be weeping.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports Bishop Oscar Cantu of the diocese said Friday a sample of the fluid collected from the sculpture was sent for chemical analysis and it was determined that it was olive oil.
And we determined it was olive oil, a scented olive oil,” he said. “Some of the witnesses claimed it smelled of roses, so something similar to the oil I bless and consecrate each year that we use for baptism, for confirmations and for ordination of the priests.”
We examined the interior of the hollow statue,” Cantu said. “There’s nothing on the interior that’s not supposed to be there, except for cobwebs. So we took pictures; we examined it.”
Cantu told the newspaper that even if the tears were a hoax, “we are not sure how it would be done, physically … because it is hardened bronze. We’ve examined the interior, and there’s nothing on the interior.”
Cantu also said that even if the cause is supernatural, the Church must discern whether the origin is from God or an evil spirit.
The Vatican announced last Wednesday that Pope Francis had appointed Cantu as the coadjutor bishop of San Jose, California. He is expected to leave for his new post in September."
