Shroud of Turin update


According to the UK Telegraph, The Oxford lab that did the Carbon dating on the Shroud of Turin now says: WHOOPS...that even 2percent contamination could put the dates off....maybe as much as 1000 years...

This 2004 BBC article discusses the controversy. And HERE is the shroud's "official" website.

The Catholic church has never had an official opionion...some say it's a miracle, others a fraud...and the arguments go back to the day it was stolen and brought back to Europe. Me, I don't know. I "enjoy" stories of miracles and stuff but feel caring for the poor and your family is a bit more important than "proving" a relic.
