"Then what about the mountain of evidence that points to the Shroud's authenticity? Do you just ignore that?

It seems more reasonable to me to believe that the one countervailing piece of evidence is somehow erroneous."

Personally I tend to think the Shroud is the real thing, however, whether it is or isn't does not change the status of my belief.

Do you really expect the scoffers of Christ to repent, if "science" declares it to be the real deal. Will the Catholic Church change it stance about the old Testament not being history but a bunch of allegory, I won't be holding my breath.

Not all, but some. Many skeptical scientists who've studied the Shroud have converted. And just one conversion would make the study of the Shroud worth it, wouldn't it?

Well, hold your breath no more. The Catholic Church has never taught "the old Testament not being history but a bunch of allegory."

Catholic biblical exegesis.
