Its just a cloth real or not. Try not to focus on the object so much and focus on Christ and his Message.

"IF" you are talking to "me",.. then you missed the point of my whole message, or did not read "my" message after the thread post.

I'm "addressing" the concerns of the "critics" who say this movie is to violent. I'm saying that what happened to Jesus WAS violent. But JESUS FORGAVE HIS PERSECUTORS!! Those who brutalized Him!!!! WHO CRUCIFIED HIM. And HE DID SO AS HE WAS DYING ON THE CROSS AND SUFFERING.

You did understand that .. right?

Of course. When the Pope visited the church holding the Shroud, he first went to adore the Eucharist.

However, the Shroud can lead people to God. Many atheist/agnostic scientists who were on the team that studied the Shroud a decade or two ago converted to Catholicism.
