DonT: With all due respects, the Catholic Church is not the pinnacle of much, either spiritually or scientifically....but rather a co-adaptation of the old Roman Empire, where were in decline, and co-opted the Christian population of Rome(Italy), which was gaining popularity at the time...that being said, they and the Protestant Movement had already disavowed and distorted what the original Christian believers, especially the eye-witnesses contemporary to Jesus, and what they actually saw, to fit into their 'need' to retain some power in Europe.
I DO sympathize, with those who have been misled as a result of the consistency WITH science and the 'spiritual' aspects...which up till now seem to coincide tremendously with each other...and that is true, even aside from the findings of the shroud!
The Catholic Protestant Churches have done MUCH to pollute and corrupt everything about Jesus, and what he was about!
