[William Terrell]

Must we have an ark to believe in Christ as savior and to follow His teaching to have faith in God? Must we have articles and relics of the old covenant to embrace the new covenant that Christ brought?

The ark. The shroud of Turin. The various relics of antiquity.

Interesting, but who needs them? Those whose faith is so weak that the cares of the world will consume it and them.

[Unam Sanctam]

We don’t need the shroud or the ark for our faith, but these alleged relics are still fascinating to investigate, particularly the shroud, as it to think that it might indeed be an actual record of Jesus’ crucifixion.
