Worshipping the creature more than the creator
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
This is just laughable. Here we have a death shroud with the image of a crucified man on it, resembling the Person of Jesus Christ. Could the Shroud have been preserved by the faithful or would it have been destroyed by the faithful? Read a couple of scientific books on it. It has absolutely nothing to do with being "relic happy" - and your saying that is speaking from knee-jerk, anti-Catholic bias. Thank God the books of the Bible were preserved by the faithful or you guys would be lost.
Where in this thread is anyone "worshipping" the Shroud? You people set up a straw man and then triumphantly knock your straw man down.
For pete's sake, at least read an unbiased account of the Shroud and go from there.
