The better question is, what happens if *man* “proves” it’s real? False prophets, false idols, like I said at the beginning, and very dangerous for the people in this thread who’ve proven they fall into this category.

I have never seen anyone on any Shroud thread whose faith is based on anything about the Shroud being real of not. That is a construct of the skeptics who perpetually invade the threads to throw brickbats at believers in Christ, especially Catholics, not the Shroud, or at those who clothe themselves in the pride of the superiority of their own faith’s purity, a sin in and of itself. For those, I think their Holier-than-thou attitude is being noted where it counts in the “Judge Not, lest ye be judged” category.

I can safely say to the negative responses I’ve received in this thread that “thou dost protest too much”, with a good helping of “how’s your faith these days”. But you keep preaching, brother.

Just wow.
