You "hit a nerve" - yes. I think I deserve more courtesy than you choose to exhibit. "If you really knew the material" is a way of belittling someone, and it proves nothing, except that you are not skilled in argumentation. You might find the following article from the Catholic Encyclopedia interesting, especially the last paragraph. The thing does not date from A.D. 30, Freddie. It's not a true relic of Christ. I don't care how fancy of an argument you can come up with, it's contradicted by the facts. newadvent.org >>Lastly, the difficulty must be noticed that while the witnesses of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries speak of the image as being then so vivid that the blood seemed freshly shed, it is now darkened and hardly recognizable without minute attention. On the supposition that this is an authentic relic dating from the year A.D. 30, why should it have retained its brilliance through countless journeys and changes of climate for fifteen centuries, and then in four centuries more have become almost invisible? On the other hand if it be a fabrication of the fifteenth century this is exactly what we should expect.<<
