I am one "fundamental" ( I prefer evangelical) who believes that the Shroud of Turin is the Genuine Grave Cloth of Jesus Christ.

Hi,
I appreciate that Fundamentalism can be considered as only a subset of Evangelicalism. The Fundamentalists tend to be very anti-Catholic, and as a result, anything that smacks of Catholic piety is automatically deemed to be in error. They can't prove it of course, but it's fun watching their knee jerk.

A note of caution: the Shroud may indeed be THE Shroud (I personally think it quite likely), but I wouldn't hang my faith on it. It can be cherished and honored and an object of reverent contemplation, but it will never be proved (unless they clone Jesus from the DNA of the blood and produce the Second Coming -- that's a joke, people!) Of note, the Catholic Church has never passed judgement on this article. They are extraordinarily cautious about it.)

Pax Christi,
