From the Shroud to the Holy Sepulchre to multiverse theology, the real tension isn’t faith vs. facts — it’s narrative vs. evidence. When belief borrows lab coats, the question isn’t “Is it inspiring?” It’s “Does it hold up?”

The Turin Shroud debate goes on, but the result from Midjourney’s certainly caused quite a stir. As always, it’s controversial, but worth a post if you haven’t seen it. A recent result (using the free software “Blender”) claiming the shroud was created by draping a cloth over a statue is being widely publicised, but was debunked by STURP decades ago. Even today, no one has ever been able to duplicate the shroud…https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1938934/Jesus-face-AI-Turin-Shroud

3D analysis reveals Shroud of Turin image likely came from sculpture, not Jesus’ body
A new 3D digital analysis offers compelling evidence that the Turin Shroud—long believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus—was likely not created by contact with a real person’s body, but was actually crafted as a form of medieval religious art...More information: https://archaeologymag.com/2025/08/shroud-of-turin-image-came-from-sculpture/

Quote of the day, 16 December: Blessed Mary of the Angels
One day, my mother sent me to see her. Finding one of our [Discalced Carmelite] Fathers on the same balcony, he called out to me (and asked) if I wanted to come near him so that he could shield me from the abundant rain that was falling. I accepted his offer. I began to greet him and thank him, with all the polite pleasantries of the world.
He began to ask me if I wanted to become a religious. I answered that my age still allowed me time to think about it. But the good religious, not satisfied with this answer, pressed me insistently, saying that I had all the appearance of one called to this life.
I let myself be persuaded and replied, “Yes.”
He then asked, “Where?”
I said, “At Saluzzo,” but my heart did not find peace. I feared they would say that I did not have a true vocation, as I couldn’t find a convent that suited (satisfied) me.
I had barely voiced this thought before I even fully considered it—something entirely contrary to my nature, as I am usually very reserved in sharing my thoughts. But God allowed it for my good.
The good religious then asked me, “What about joining one of ours?”
I replied, “I don’t know them.”
He began to explain the life they led and how they wore habits made of the same cloth as the one he was wearing. As he described their observance, I felt my desire growing within me.
At that moment, another downpour came. This good religious placed his cloak over my head. Oh, God! What an effect this cloak had on my soul! It felt as though I were under the mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I pleaded with her to accept me as her daughter and not to deny me this grace. I made the same petition to the Holy Shroud, and with such tenderness of heart that the tears from my eyes did what the rain from heaven could not—they drenched me completely.
Blessed Mary of the Angels
Note: The friar mentioned above was Father Francesco Antonio di San Andrea, O.C.D., and “Saluzzo” refers to the Cistercian Monastery of La Stella in Rifredo, near Saluzzo, where the Blessed initially entered religious life at age 12. This monastery was her first experience of monastic life before she eventually entered the Carmel of Santa Cristina in Turin in 1676. In 1703, she founded the Carmel of St. Joseph in Moncalieri.

The debate goes on. I see the Fortean Times has also picked up on it in their latest issue, which should make interesting reading. The old radiocarbon dating result has apparently been put into question after newer data was acquired using more accurate dating techniques.
Whatever your opinion, no one’s cleared up the mystery, and I doubt they ever will.https://inews.co.uk/news/shroud-of-turin-real-jesus-evidence-3237452

New Findings Reinforce the Authenticity Debate of the Turin Shroud
https://www.thearchaeologist.org/blog/new-findings-reinforce-the-authenticity-debate-of-the-turin-shroud"In the latest study, researchers from Italy’s Institute of Crystallography of the National Research Council applied a technique called wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) to date the shroud. This method analyzes the natural aging of flax cellulose, converting it into a timeline from the fabric’s manufacture. [...] This analysis aligns the shroud’s origin with the first century AD".

This "news" is circulating pretty much in the ponds of the Daily Fail and other yellow journalism, and that of the NCR and other hard theistic outlets.
And in suspicious timing, they've also almost simultaneously "broken" "news" of David Rolfe's supposed Shroud-based conversion.

This is so dumb. The #AI based it's rendition of #Jesus on the #ShroudOfTurin—an artifact that has been definitively debunked as a #hoax by science. This is the practical equivalent of using AI to speculate about what Jesus looked like based on those pictures of Cesare Borgia so many #Christians have on their wall. This gets us no closer to understanding what the man, if he actually existed, looked like. Call it "Christian masturbation".
