Worth noting that it’s not completely indisputable (although hasn’t been disproven) that the purported blood is in fact human blood by all studies (although many studies do support it), but still worth a great consideration

    It’s very interesting, since the shroud was always taken as fake, except by Roman Catholics maybe, but these new studies do present a case for authenticity

      Even Roman Catholics have denounced it as fake before modern science. The Church still doesn’t hold any position on it, early on they just saw it’s value as an art piece and the slight chance/story behind it.
