Why would I need proof on a matter of faith?

But unlike other faiths, the Catholic faith is based on fides et rationo (Faith AND Reason)

"Nothing more than any other painting."

One thing it absolutely isn't is a painting.

Its been pretty well proven that it is much more than a painting. But does it “prove” anything about Easter? No.

Some conjectures have been made about the shroud which are interesting to my scientific mind, but proof? No. There are other, more important proofs in the world that prove Easter happened.

One thing that it is not is a painting. Extensive scientific examination has proven then is no paint or brush-strokes present. The method of imprintation is not known.

Wow - you better contact the investigators and tell them how you would paint a photographic negative onto a cloth during a period when photographic negatives were not even known.

Oh, and it must have 3-D attributes that can be seen when the photograph is scanned and analyzed by computer.

One story I read was the body was dusted with iron oxide and the cloth laid on top - but - no matter how carefully you do it you still will move the cloth blurring parts of the contact. The book “Skeleton Key” has a provocative epilog (all points easily refuted.).

I have seen the shroud. It is a burial shroud and with the marking something extraordinary had to have occurred. It should not change anything about Jesus.

26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” 28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Then Jesus told him,“Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

They’ve examined it microscopically. It’s not paint.
