What are your view on this - are there any "believers" that believe this is actually true despite the testing being done. Do you find it odd that the "Holy See" doesn't want anymore testing done? [If they were so sure it was his - wouldn't they be shoving the shroud into scientists hand just to be able to say TOLD YOU SO! ?!?!]
From what I last heard the latest radiocarbon dating showed that its age was around the 1200-1300 AD. From what I remember the religious community was dancing in the streets so to speak when this was found - and had their hopes dashed when it was said it was a fraud. Are there still believers out there standing by the claim that it is real? And if so, why don't you believe it is a hoax?
(Serious genuine question - I haven’t heard anything about this recently)

The Shroud of Turin is now suspected to have been one of the first PHOTOGRAPHS ever devised, and likely was completed by Leonardo Da Vinci....This could have been performed with lemon juice or other acidic compounds and exposure to sunlight...
And yes, the reason that the Holy See doesnt want anymore testing performed is because science can prove without a doubt that the shroud is a fake - and that would have the Church lose quite a bit on money on tourism, donations and even converts and beleivers!
Also, let us not forget that, during the middle ages, one of the most popular things to do was sell religious artifacts! You could buy bones of saints (fake), pieces of Jesus' cross (fake) and a multitude of other faked icons...

Tough question.
So who could have made such a painting to baffle the best of scientists??? Who?
There is one unanswered question though; how did minute seeds of a flower which only grows in Jerusalem find themselves embedded in the shroud??? Since the Shroud have never been to Jerusalem?????

The marks on the shroud are not consistent with first century burial practices. Cloth was not just draped over a person, but wrapped around him tightly (sort of like a mummy), and a separate cloth was wrapped around his head (called a napkin in the KJV).
John 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

The reason the Holy See (and other historians) don't want even more extensive testing done on the Shroud of Turin is that it is old and in a very delicate state.

You remember the dancing in the streets when the shroud of Turin was found? How many centuries old are you?

I wrote a huge paper one time for this subject of the "Shroud of Turin" I had to analyze it fully and support my conclusions ...I can say that I don't think its valid, there are many reasons..I may have to get back to you on this

Oh please. Just another fraud, like the da Vinci Code and the discovery of Noah's ark. And the "Left Behind" series. It stirs up the faithful long enough to fleece them out of more money. Its just more Virgin Mary on a piece of toast nonsense.
