Thank you for getting the information out, shroudie.

It's interesting how science has not been able to disprove the claim. The historical facts of the shroud are of more interest, I believe, than the scientific ones. It's existence is documented much farther back than the 13th century. I wish there was more information from Constantinople before the shroud was brought to Europe during the crusades.

Yeah, what we're lacking here is a "chain of custody." :-) Especially before the 13th century.

It's impossible, by the way, to prove a negative. It's also necessary here to disprove documents which coincide with the beginning of the existing chain of custody and declare inauthenticity. But lots of creative minds are hard at work!

This issue will never be resolved to everybody's satisfaction, no matter what. Too much emotion tied up in it at this point.
