the ever interesting Fr. Dwight at Standing On My Head come the link to this document:
UNWRAPPING THE SHROUD: NEW EVIDENCE A Review
It's a .pdf, so be prepared for that. Still, it's a good, reasoned introduction, by a scientist, to where things are right now.
I tend to lean toward being a believer, despite my looking askance at most 'miracles' that people promote. While people may argue over the shroud's creation and provenance, no one can show, using any known technique, now the image was created. That makes me lean more toward believing in the miraculous...
Silent Servants...
... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.
A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

I have always wanted the shroud to be authentic because I like the face so much. It's almost ugly, strong, and kind. I bet it could be fierce, too. (I mention that since we're coming to the 'incident in the temple' gospel this Sunday.)
I agree. I think that this is just the way Christ may have looked, and not the blond, blue-eyed anglo we see depicted in popular (?) art.
