There is no indication that this is anything other than an odd and rare medical condition. Nothing supernatural about rupturing capillaries. Google it.

But is it the same if it's due to a medical condition and not by supernatural causes? How could you even tell? Now that's an interesting question.

Oh, that's easy. Barring evidence of "supernatural causes," there aren't any.

Easy peasy. :)

. . . there is no need to try and explain it by supernatural causes.

You've got the scientific proof; you don't need the religious spoof.

By definition the "super" natural is beyond nature and there is no rational way to prove it exists -- and any such realm is unknown.

I don't believe in the supernatural. If something doesn't have an explanation, that doesn't mean it's caused by the supernatural. The explation simply remains unknown.

BTW, I thought "stigmata" just meant unexplained bleeding from the body without being wounded.

There is a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence here in Seattle who was given a new name that she must never reveal nor forget and how could she?

Upong joining the Abby of St. Joan each Sister has her New Name and this one had the best.

"Sister Castrata Stigmata Banana Fana Fo Fata" for the WIN.

Roman catholic Italian doctors --- "We don't know what it is therefore it must be stigmata"

Anybody, this straight up isn't Stigmata. Stigmata is a wound or mark that corresponds with Jesus' crucifixion wounds.

She ain't no Padre Pio.

Sounds like Jesus forgot to take his beta blocker when he was in the garden.

Mary: "Did you take your pills, Jesus."

Jesus: "Whatever."

"She was treated her with propranolol – a beta-blocker medication which substantially reduced her symptoms but has not completely stopped them." -- Daily Mail.
