Casting Doubts on the Shroud of Turin

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Interesting story of the first bona fide burial shroud from Jerusalem at the time of Jesus' crucifixion. And it doesn't match up well with the likely elaborate forgery, the Shroud of Turin, which some Catholics are too quick to proclaim as authentic.

I'm Christopher Hitchens skeptical of most claims of relics. I have a good friend who thinks he has a splinter from the One True Cross. I seriously doubt that.

I first heard of this on the BBC. I hope the pope is well after being pushed down by an apparently deranged individual. We have some of those in the US Senate, too.
