• Shroud of Turin (Part 1) FR. ...
• Recently, several parishes have hosted talks on the Shroud of Turin. ...
• Many of the faithful sincerely believe that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Without declaring its authenticity, Pope John Paul II has clearly attested to the value of the Shroud. For instance, in 1980, the Holy Father stated, "The Holy Shroud, the most splendid relic of the passion and the resurrection. " Almost ten years later, in April 1989, he was asked by reporters during an in-flight press conference on the way to Madagascar about the Shroud, and he responded, "It certainly is a relic. " Again, almost ten years later, when asked if the Shroud was genuine, the Pope said, I think it is. ... The Holy Father has visited the Shroud both in 1978 and most recently this past June 1998. ...
• His predecessors have also viewed the Shroud favorably. Pope Pius XII stated, A precious treasure, the Holy Shroud, which displays, both to move and comfort us, the image of the lifeless body and tortured face of Christ. " And Pope John XXIII declared, "Digits Dei est hic" ("The finger of God is here. ...
• However, to believe that the Shroud is the actual burial cloth of the Lord is not a matter of faith. ... As Cardinal Saldarini of Turin stated, "It’s not Christ, but something that brings us back to him. Salvation is not in the Shroud, even if it truly wrapped the martyred body of Jesus, even if it was mysteriously given by God to His Church. ...

• The Holy Shroud (of Turin).
• This name is primarily given to a relic now preserved at Turin, for which the claim is made that it is the actual "clean linen cloth" in which Joseph of Arimathea wrapped the body of Jesus Christ (Matthew 27:59). ... If the marks we perceive were caused by human body, it is clear that the body (supine) was laid lengthwise along one half of the shroud while the other half was doubled back over the head to cover the whole front of the body from the face to the feet. The arrangement is well illustrated in the miniature of Giulio Clovio, which also gives a good representation of what was seen upon the shroud about the year 1540. ...
• The cloth now at Turin can be clearly traced back to the Lirey in the Diocese of Troyes, where we first hear of it about the year 1360. ... Since 1578 it has remained at Turin where it is now only exposed for veneration at long intervals. ...
• That the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin is taken for granted, in various pronouncements of the Holy See cannot be disputed. An Office and Mass "de Sancta Sindone" was formerly approved by Julius II in the Bull "Romanus Pontifex" of 25 April, 1506, in the course of which the Pope speaks of "that most famous Shroud (proeclarissima sindone) in which our Savior was wrapped when he lay in the tomb and which is now honorably and devoutly preserved in a silver casket. ... Composed by his predecessor, Sixtus IV, in which Sixtus states that in the Shroud "men may look upon the true blood and portrait of Jesus Christ himself. ... , also claimed to be the authentic linen sindon provided by Joseph of Arimathea, but until the close of the last century no great attack was made upon the genuineness of the Turin relic. In 1898 when the Shroud was solemnly exposed, permission was given to photograph it and a sensation was caused by the discovery that the image upon the linen was apparently a negative -- in other words that the photographic negative taken from this offered a more recognizable picture of a human face than the cloth itself or any positive print. ... Paul Vignon read a remarkable paper before the Académie des Sciences in which he maintained that the impression upon the Shroud was a "vaporigraph" caused by the ammoniacal emanations radiating from the surface of Christ's body after so violent a death. ... The image upon the Shroud was therefore a natural negative and as such completely beyond the comprehension or the skill of any medieval forger. ...
• Owing mainly to the researches of Canon Ulysse Chevalier a series of documents was discovered which clearly proved that in 1389 the Bishop of Troyes appealed to Clement VII, the Avignon Pope then recognized in France, to put a stop to the scandals connected to the Shroud preserved at Lirey. It was, the Bishop declared, the work of an artist who some years before had confessed to having painted it but it was then being exhibited by the Canons of Lirey in such a way that the populace believed that it was the authentic shroud of Jesus Christ. The pope, without absolutely prohibiting the exhibition of the Shroud, decided after full examination that in the future when it was shown to the people, the priest should declare in a loud voice that it was not the real shroud of Christ, but only a picture made to represent it. ... Moreover, the grave suspicion thus thrown upon the relic is immensely strengthened by the fact that no intelligible account, beyond wild conjecture, can be given of the previous history of the Shroud or its coming to Lirey. ...

• Shroud of Turin.
• A negative rendering of the shroud. ...
• The Shroud of Turin is a centuries-old linen cloth with an imprint of an apparently crucified man. Many people believe this is the cloth that covered Jesus of Nazareth when he was placed in his tomb, while some argue that the image on the Shroud is that of Jacques de Molay, and that the imprint was caused by bodily emissions following his torture. Others contend that the shroud is the artwork of a clever medieval hoaxer. ...
• The earliest documented appearance of the Shroud is about in 1350. At this time, in fact, the French knight Geoffrey de Charney wrote to pope Clement VI that he wanted to build a church in Lirey (St. Mary of Lirey), in which he would have kept the Shroud (many historians believe he had bought it in Constantinople). During the following decades, the Shroud was publicly exposed, even if not continuously, given that some bishops prohibited this cult. ... But in the following June, Clement VI prescribed indulgences for those who celebrated the Shroud, and the cult continued.
• In 1418, Humbert of Villersexel, Count de la Roche, Lord of Saint-Hippolyte-sur-Doubs, who had married the grand-daughter of Geoffrey de Charny, moved the Shroud to his castle at Montfort, officially to protect it from criminal bands. ... She travelled with the Shroud, for several expositions (like in Liege and in Geneva).
• In 1453 the widow sold it (for a castle in Varambon) to Ludovico Duke of Savoy, who stored it in the castle of Chambery (capital town of the Duchy), in a new-built Sainte-Chapelle, which pope Paul II soon after elevated to the dignity of collegiate church. ... In 1471 the Shroud was moved to Vercelli, and in the following years it was in Turin, Ivrea, Susa, Chambery, Avigliano, Rivoli, Pinerolo. ...
• In 1506, following the repeated requests by the Savoyards, pope Julius II allowed the cult of the Shroud, which included a mass and a rite. Since that date, the Shroud is celebrated every May 4. ...

• New claims concerning the Shroud of Turin, the reputed burial cloth of Jesus, are being challenged by shroud experts. ...
• The new pro-shroud claims come from a team of four scientists from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

The implication is that the shroud might be genuine after all. ...
• A fake shroud created by Joe Nickell .
• However these findings are difficult to reconcile either with the cloth's history or with prior tests, say shroud experts. According to Joe Nickell, author of Inquest on the Shroud of Turin (1988) and an investigative writer for Skeptical Inquirer magazine, "There is abundant data on which to judge the shroud a forgery even apart from the carbon dating. ...
• According to Nickell, the shroud first appeared in France in the 1350's, owned by a soldier of fortune who refused to say how he had obtained it. A subsequent bishop's report to Pope Clement detailed how the cloth was used in a healing scam to defraud pilgrims and how its apparent bodily imprint had been "cunningly painted" by a confessed artist. ...
• Finally, in 1988 samples of the shroud's linen were radiocarbon dated by three independent laboratories. ...
• The new claims of contamination imply that the shroud is much older than the fourteenth century, possibly dating even from the first century, and that it could be genuine after all. ...
• However, according to geochemist Paul Damon, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona and one of those who conducted the 1988 radiocarbon tests, "We've dated a lot of linen -- including many Coptic Christian samples -- and have been in close agreement with the historic date, within the precision of the dating method. ...
• The recent study by the Texas team was conducted on a linen sample allegedly taken from the lower right corner of the shroud. However, the Archbishop of Turin, Cardinal Giovanni Saldarini, has publicly challenged the sample's authenticity. ...

• ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL II .
• With my gaze turned to the Shroud, I would like to extend a cordial greeting to you all, the faithful of the Church of Turin. ...
• In the light of Christ's presence in our midst, I then stopped before the Shroud, the precious Linen that can help us better to understand the mystery of the love of God's Son for us. Before the Shroud, the intense and agonizing image of an unspeakable torment, I wish to thank the Lord for this unique gift, which asks for the believer's loving attention and complete willingness to follow the Lord. ...
• The Shroud is a challenge to our intelligence. ... The mysterious fascination of the Shroud forces questions to be raised about the sacred Linen and the historical life of Jesus. ... The Church urges that the Shroud be studied without pre-established positions that take for granted results that are not such; she invites them to act with interior freedom and attentive respect for both scientific methodology and the sensibilities of believers.
• For the believer, what counts above all is that the Shroud is a mirror of the Gospel. ... Whoever approaches it is also aware that the Shroud does not hold people's hearts to itself, but turns them to him, at whose service the Father's loving providence has put it. ... The Shroud is thus a truly unique sign that points to Jesus, the true Word of the Father, and invites us to pattern our lives on the life of the One who gave himself for us. ...
• The image of human suffering is reflected in the Shroud. ... Before the Shroud, how can we not think of the millions of people who die of hunger, of the horrors committed in the many wars that soak nations in blood, of the brutal exploitation of women and children, of the millions of human beings who live in hardship and humiliation on the edges of great cities, especially in developing countries? How can we not recall with dismay and pity those who do not enjoy basic civil rights, the victims of torture and terrorism, the slaves of criminal organizations? By calling to mind these tragic situations, the Shroud not only spurs us to abandon our selfishness but leads us to discover the mystery of suffering, which, sanctified by Christ's sacrifice, achieves salvation for all humanity. ...
• The Shroud is also an image of God's love as well as of human sin. ...
• As it speaks to us of love and sin, the Shroud invites us all to impress upon our spirit the face of God's love, to remove from it the tremendous reality of sin. ... Echoing the word of God and centuries of Christian consciousness, the Shroud whispers: believe in God's love, the greatest treasure given to humanity, and flee from sin, the greatest misfortune in history. ...
• The Shroud is also an image of powerlessness: the powerlessness of death, in which the ultimate consequence of the mystery of the Incarnation is revealed. ...
