I will never understand the non-Catholic aversion to this nor the Shroud. If they are the real McCoys, why wouldn’t any follower of Christ be in awe of the fact that this was the tunic worn by our Lord (or this was the shroud our Lord was wrapped in in the case of the Shroud)! No one is worshipping these items.

I am not a Catholic and I have no aversion to the Shroud. I hope it is the real thing and I am thrilled that such an ancient artifact has been saved, even if it belonged to someone else. In no way do I think it should be worshiped.

Would the idea that you could spend time with the living Lord instead of his tunic have any meaning for you? That someone would chose the shroud or tunic is revealing...........

It stems from YOPIOS. That's it! I don't understand their aversion to the Blessed Mother. What does scripture say? Luke 1:48 - "For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed." Scientifically, we know that since Jesus was fully God and fully man, esus' human nature would have had Mary's dna.

You have a valid point, but understanding some non Catholics is probably based on the word “non”. Or opposed!

Just like their lack of understanding of the Body and Blood of Christ that we receive in the Eucharist.
