I ALSO missed this Shroud of Turin article when it was posted. . . sorry about that, never too late, though. PING!

If you want on or off the Shroud of Turin Ping List, Freepmail me.

I challenge the members of the Shroud of Turin ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon to counter such extortion. I HAVE donated $100 due to my involvement in the Apple Ping list. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Shroud Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!

My faith certainly doesn't need relics to believe but I want to see it anyway. An ancient church in France claims to have the toe of Mary Magadelene. We went to see and it certainly looked like a small toe. It it did not make my faith any more or less strong but it was interesting.

I can't understand why having relics helps anyone’s faith either......if that is what you meant.

No. that’s not what I meant. I meant that a person would visit church because there is a rumor that Mary’s small toe is the relic there under the altar?? Or Mary’s tears, or Peter’s fishing pole..whatever. ??? What kind of faith does it take to believe these things? I would really like to know

We didn't visit the church because we had heard that MM,s toe was there. We stopped in a small town in central France to get some lunch. We saw a beautiful church and decided to look at it. In the entry was a sign that said MM,s toe was in the lower level. We were curious and went down to see it. Tell me you wouldn't have done the same.

It was a toe off someone’s foot no proof that it was hers, like the
Shroud of Turin, no proof that it was the Shroud of Jesus, but if I was close I would go and see it.
