Ping to Swordmaker. IIRC, you are a student of the shroud?

of course carbon-dating is more conclusive then actual documentation...

I do believe that a “Papal Apology” is in order.
The King of France trumped up charges against the Knights Templar, to get out of his debts.
That some “sins” were discovered among the Knights? Really? Who would NOT “admit” to sinful behavior during torture?
The Pope was NOT in charge of arresting the Templar Knights, and the Pope, at the time, did not find that the Knights were guilty of heresy.
Still, they way they were treated was just wrong, and the Church, at the time, should have done more.
“Friday the 13th” is the day the Templars were first arrested, by the King of France.

You said — of course carbon-dating is more conclusive then actual documentation...

Here’s what one paragraph said in the article...
Radiocarbon dating tests on the Turin Shroud in 1988 indicated that it was a medieval fake. However this had been challenged on the grounds that the dated sample was taken from an area of the shroud mended after a fire in the Middle Ages and not a part of the original cloth.
I’ve seen that theory presented elsewhere, too...

It was my understanding that the Knights Templar were the keepers of the Holy Grail.

Myself having a packrat mentality, I can't imagine anyone throwing away or deliberately destroying the Shroud. But there are plenty of non believers who would do it.
