Thanks for posting this.
IMHO it kinda conflicts with the 2nd commandment.
Still fascinating.
“That way they don’t have to confront their own beliefs.â€
“I think some people would rather ignore it than be challenged.â€
Kinda reminds you of the folks concerning another “settled science
Catholic ping!
Goy...in Cantonese one says “Ho mmm goy,” which means thank you very much.
When one digs deep enough to find what source documents there are in that regard (as opposed to discussions and assertions based upon those) it is still far less than convincing, for each 'study' has serious problems, many of which have been identified to then later be overwhelmed with reams of wordy smoke-screen which obscure & mislead enough that the writers can then "pronounce" a this or a that as if something has been actually established.
would kick off skeptics whom they could not control, or else neutralize expression of skepticism.
Get with the program, or else the Vatican would see to it that further access would be blocked (for any particular individual) sort of like how more recently mr. Bergoglio and his close advisers would see to it that skeptics of anthropologically-driven 'climate change' were excluded from providing "scientific" input.
Details. the debils in 'em.
Not sure where I come down on the shroud but something I find curious is that the proportions of the head are wrong.
The first thing they teach you in art class about drawing realistic looking people is that the eyes are located at the midline of the skull. That is, they should sit at the “equator”, midway between the top of the head and the point of the chin.
They have to teach you this because the natural tendency is to put the eyes nearer to the top of the head, which gives a cartoonish look. Nearly everyone makes this mistake unless trained not to. And to my eyes, this is exactly what’s going on with the shroud.
Jesus was wrapped in cloth strips, not just covered with a single shroud...The strips kept the ointments pressed to the body...This shroud would not have worked...Would have been useless...
To abandon scripture and replace it with fables is the work of infidels, apostates, heretics...
Funny thing nobody has been able to recreate this “forgery”.
