Your anti-Catholic animus is clouding your ability to judge scientific evidence. How do you explain the creation of the negative image? How do you explain the fact that the negative image also contains an embedded 3D topographic map of a human body? How do you explain that this image is unique in the world? How do you explain that the image is pigment-free?
Why wasn't the cloth mentioned with in the 50 days from crucifixion to pentecost? Sureley someone would have seen it by then? after all he had many followers...If you believe this shroud is Jesus's Shroud, that's fine, If I am wrong, it doesn't matter for my salvation, but if I am right, you wasted alot of faith in a piece of a hoax...Christians are to walk by faith, not by sight, that includes the sight of a piece of cloth, or a vial of copper looking like blood...trickery to decieve...Jesus never used these things...
