Ah, but the Episopalii don't believe in the Immaculate Conception -- the doctrine that the Virgin Mary was conceived by the Holy Ghost in St. Anne's womb without sin (a Roman Catholic conception), in contrast to the doctrine of the Virgin Birth, that Jesus was conceived by God in Mary's womb with her engaging in sexual relations with a man. The hypothesis of the Immaculate Conception could not be disproved by tests on the tissue of Mary, but the discovery of y chromosome in Jesus's tissue (such as the blood stains on the Shroud of Turin) or in the body and blood of Christ in the mass would disprove the hypothesis of the Virgin birth or something.
Please, study your basic theology carefully.
