Oh sure metmom, but if all we needed was a piece of cloth with an image on it, then we wouldn't have something called faith...a gift from God.

I believe there is a Jewish scientist who was one of the prominent scientists that took part in the testing and, although he concludes that the image is authentic, I do not believe he has yet converted.

It reminds me of the saying "For those who believe no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe no proof is possible."

I’m not sure why there is talk about worshiping graven images, etc. Maybe I missed something.

It might be important to note here too that the Catholic Church does not require any Catholic to believe that this is Christ’s image. In fact, I don’t think the Church has even stated with certainty that it is.
