Italian scientist reproduces Shroud of Turin

An Italian scientist says he has reproduced the Shroud of Turin, a feat that he says proves definitively that the linen some Christians revere as Jesus Christ's burial cloth is a medieval fake. The shroud, measuring 14 feet, 4 inches by 3 feet, 7 inches bears the image, eerily reversed like a photographic negative, of a crucified man some believers say is Christ. "We have shown that is possible to reproduce something which has the same characteristics as the Shroud," Luigi Garlaschelli, who is due to illustrate the results at a conference on the para-normal this weekend in northern Italy, said on Monday. A professor of organic chemistry at the University of Pavia, Garlaschelli made available to Reuters the paper he will deliver and the accompanying comparative photographs.

Christ told us the only "sign" we need is His resurrection.

Nope.

Have you ever noticed that the Calvinists like to insert words like “only” and “alone” where they don’t belong and then refuse to substantiate their claim? Catholics have never disputed that His Resurrection was a sign, but if it was the ONLY sign we needed the New Testament could have been written on an index card.

I was initially under the impression that your tagline was your name, and that you were an actual doctor in some field.

Having read the tone of your discourse, I see now that this simply cannot be the case. I will adjust my response accordingly:

"Whatever."

No doubt a tribute of some kind to Martin Luther.

You are probably right. Were Luther to return today he would no doubt run to the nearest Catholic or Orthodox church and NEVER look back.

Mary is on the cross with Jesus. Sacrilege. Pagan. Pathetic. Damnable...

they are already saved by predestination, no matter what they do or don't do.

"Predestination" doesn't save anyone. God saves according to His free gift of grace through faith in the redemptive work of His Son.

Men and women who understand that by the renewing of the Holy Spirit will lead lives that glorify God rather than themselves or the fallen world around them.

As God wills.

Look for other signs if that’s where you’re led. You will be disappointed. Christ said the only sign we need is His resurrection.

That’s the way this game is played: the anti-Catholic bigot makes ridiculous claims, and when called on it they disappear, hoping that their would-be dupes read only the lie and not the correction.

And we’re supposed to just roll over and play good doggie.
