I use to sit on the fence leaning a little to the believer side until
i realized the “forgery / artist” stories were harder
to believe than the actual shroud story. Things important to people can be saved and passed down thru the generations.
Even with today’s technology, the Shroud cannot be duplicated - i.e. the 3D image that has been described as being created by a “little big bang” explosion.
In addition, all of the tangible evidence is simply overwhelming.
A few years ago, I visited northern Italy on business. On a Saturday evening, my hosts took me to dinner in downtown Turin where afterwards we walked the area and passed by THE church. It was amazing just walking by and seeing it lit up.
