Back from Africa, where I was a secular missionary in the Kayon Ghozi’s leprosary (Burundi) because of health reasons, I wrote these lucky Flashes of mine, which got a resounding success ,on Turin’s HOLY SHROUD.
Prof. Harry Gove,which made the Holy Shroud date back to the middle-ages in 1988 by the method 14C, already in 1995, in the light on the latest scientific knowledge, realised that the dating was wrong .
The Mystery of the Holy Shroud print,which couldn’t be made by men at all, must be correlated to the Mystery of the Resurrection of Jesus,Who was wrapped in the Holy Shroud after being buried and rose from the death in the Holy Shroud.
The Faith we feel in our heart needn’t any confirmation, but Turin’s Holy Shroud becomes an unequivocal one, beyond our will.
The end of my Flashes contains a twelve/thirteen lined brief synthesis of my life.

The the thing's a fake.

The image is painted on to the cloth.

The dimensions of the figure don't fit human proportions.

The controversy over carbon dationg is a red herring

Harry Gove didn't, as you claim, "realise the dating was wrong".

He said this:

“There is a bioplastic coating on some threads, maybe most,” says Gove. If present in sufficient quantity, it “would make the fabric sample seem younger than it should be” in a carbon-dating test.

That's all.

Not "The dating was wrong so the thing must be from 2000 years ago and not the 14th century."

Joe Nickell, senior research fellow with the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal and a leading shroud skeptic, argues that for there to be sufficient contamination to make the shroud 2,000 years old instead of a mere 700, “there would have to be twice as much [bioplastic] debris, by weight, as the entire shroud itself!”

I hope this improves the flavour of your chips.

Incidentally, there is not much mystery about the resurrection of Jesus. It's most likely a work of fiction by the gospel writers trying to make their superman look impressive to their target market.

CJ, the range of your sources never fails to amaze!

Och then internet's a great place Ron.

It's really too easy.

Some clown posts a ridiculous claim.

I do a google for the ridiculous claim plus a few critical keywords, best yield from "fraud", "hoax" and "discredited", then I start on the authors of any links posted to see if they've connections to other frauds and hoaxes.

The shroud's a great source for fraud information since it's so well documented yet they still believe - one born every minute!

But I suppose that, for anyone who makes money by writing about such magic tricks/wondrous miracles, every shroud has a silver lining.
