I will never understand the non-Catholic aversion to this nor the Shroud.

It stems from YOPIOS. That's it! I don't understand their aversion to the Blessed Mother. What does scripture say? Luke 1:48 - "For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed." Scientifically, we know that since Jesus was fully God and fully man, esus' human nature would have had Mary's dna.

“I will never understand the non-Catholic aversion to this nor the Shroud.

“It stems from YOPIOS. That’s it! “

Oh?

Maybe it is because no shroud, nor relic is necessary for salvation, nor a relationship with the Lord. Scripture has exactly what it takes for both.

If you do not base your evaluation of spiritual things on the Scriptures - as Christ did - what do you base this on?

“their aversion to the Blessed Mother.

I know of no believer who has an aversion to Mary. In fact, I’ve posted that generally, protestants make too little of Mary and Catholics too much. Better to call her exactly what God Himself does, instead of making her into a demigoddess or just another Jewish woman.
