What I believe regarding the shroud does not in any way affect my salvation brian100. For my salvation is in no way because of a shroud nor was it because of the Blessed Mary, but is because of Jesus Christ. In fact, it had not affected the salvation of the many Christians who knew not of the shroud of Turin.If Tong won't believe then God will do something to him to make him believe. I believe so much that i know God can intercede into his life.. but he may not like God's answer for him. We can only pray he will come around to see the pictures as truth.
In real life I have seen too many times what God does to people who don't believe in Mary.
