Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires Scientific proof. Can the Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires be debunked?



Forensic Pathologist Dr Frederick Zugibe, interview by Mike Willesee, Investigative Journalist, and Lawyer, Ron Tesoriero

I, Ron Tesoriero had invited renowned senior Australian Television Investigative journalist, Mike Willesee, in early 2000 to join the investigation.

On 20th April 2004, Mike Willesee and I presented a pathology slide of the sample of the Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires to Dr Frederick Zugibe in New York, to examine it. No one else was present.

I chose Dr Zugibe to do the examination, following my extensive research into the relevant areas of Pathology and into the experts in respective fields.

Dr Zugibe was a New York Heart specialist and a forensic pathologist. He was also an associate professor and the author of a text book on Pathology.

We knew nothing of Dr Zugibe’s religious belief beforehand and he was told nothing of the origin of the sample. Dr Zugibe had no trouble identifying what he was seeing under the microscope.

With just Mike Willesee and myself in the room and a rolling camera, we were to hear and record Dr Zugibe’s most astounding comments, which have now been reverberated throughout the world:

“this is heart muscle from the left ventricle wall of the heart not too far from a valvular area”. He went on to say that it was part of the muscle of the heart muscle that gives the heart its beat and the body its life.

He commented that the heart tissue was infiltrated with white blood cells. From the presence of the white blood cells and the condition of the fibres of the heart tissue he was able to say that the person from whom this tissue had come was alive at the moment the sample was taken and that that person had suffered severe heart injury, a compromising of the blood supply to the heart, a matter of a few days before hand. He said that he had seen heart injury like that in cases where a person had been severely beaten around the chest.
