In 1389 the French Bishop of Troyes, Pierre d\u2019Arcis, wrote an angry Memorandum to Avignon Pope Clement VII complaining that Geoffrey\u2019s son, Geoffrey II, was exhibiting in nearby Lirey\n\n\n\na certain cloth cunningly painted, upon which by a clever sleight of hand was depicted the twofold image of one man… pretending that this was the actual shroud in which our Saviour Jesus Christ was enfolded in the tomb… (Wilson 1979: 266).\n\n\n\nD\u2019Arcis declared that about 34 years earlier (1355) the Lirey church\u2019s dean (chief cleric) had obtained the cloth \u201cfalsely and deceitfully\u201d to milk the pilgrim trade and had even hired individuals to pretend they had been healed miraculously during expositions. He went on to claim that his predecessor at that time, Henri de Poitiers (Bishop of Troyes 1353 to 1370), had been advised by theologians against the possibility of the cloth\u2019s authenticity and, after further investigation\n\n\n\nhe discovered the fraud and how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth having been attested by the artist who had painted it, to wit, that it was[...x]<\/span>
a work of human skill and not miraculously wrought or bestowed (Wilson 1979: 267).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supposedly Henri then tried to confiscate the cloth but the dean hid it until, in d\u2019Arcis\u2019 time, a new dean, also \u201cwith fraudulent intent and for the purpose of gain,\u201d initiated a new round of expositions, with the assistance of Geoffrey II. D\u2019Arcis was particularly piqued as Geoffrey II had circumvented the bishop\u2019s authority by recently securing permission from a cardinal, the Pope\u2019s representative. D\u2019Arcis complained that this permission was granted because Geoffrey II proclaimed that the Shroud was only a \u201cpicture or figure\u201d of Christ\u2019s actual burial cloth, but \u201cit is given out in private and noised abroad\u201d that it was the true Shroud (Wilson 1979: 268). D\u2019Arcis requested assistance from the French king, but civil authorities (who were probably sympathetic to Geoffrey) apparently made only a half-hearted attempt to find the cloth (Wilson 2010: 231). The Memorandum of Piere d\u2019Arcis appears to make a strong case against the Shroud\u2019s authenticity and has formed the cornerstone for skeptical historical judgement, especially during the 20th century. However, there are fatal problems with its claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some researchers have concluded that Bishop d\u2019Arcis misunderstood the Shroud\u2019s nature and origins and drew erroneous conclusions based on garbled rumors. First, d\u2019Arcis’ complaints about the evil intents of Lirey\u2019s deans seem misdirected, as it is clear that the de Charny family, who enjoyed a well deserved good public reputation, was always in charge of and behind the Shroud\u2019s expositions. More importantly, where did the bishop obtain his information about Henri de Poitiers and the painter who supposedly produced the relic? It was not from any known documentation; d\u2019Arcis was a competent lawyer before his clerical appointment and surely would have referenced any files from 30 years earlier (Wilson 2010: 228-29). If Bishop Henri de Poitiers had discovered a fraud and opposed the relic\u2019s showings during the 1350\u2019s, he left no known record for d\u2019Arcis to cite. Instead, after reviewing de Charny\u2019s papers related to the new Lirey church\u2019s activities, Henri\u2019s sole surviving document, dated May 28, 1356, praises de Charny\u2019s devotion adding<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And ourselves wishing to develop as much as possible a cult of this nature, we praise, ratify, and approve the said letters in all their parts … we give our assent, our authority, and our decision … (Bonnet-Eymard 1991: 18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anyone at this time was charging fraud, it was unlikely to be in the next year either, as in June of 1357 twelve bishops granted indulgences to pilgrims visiting the church. Pope Clement was confronted with conflicting correspondence from both Geoffrey II and Bishop d\u2019Arcis and finally decided early in the next year on somewhat of a compromise: de Charny could exhibit the Shroud without elaborate ceremonials and declaring it not Christ\u2019s true shroud but \u201ca copy and representation\u201d of it (Geoffrey\u2019s \u201cofficial\u201d position, anyway), and Bishop d\u2019Arcis could not interfere with those expositions or face excommunication (Fossati 1983: 25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turin Shroud ‘is not a medieval forgery’<\/strong>
The Turin Shroud is not a medieval forgery, as has long been claimed, but could in fact date from the time of Christ’s death, a new book claims. By Nick Squires 28 March 2013 \u2022 10:24am Many Catholics believe that the 14ft-long linen cloth was used to cover Christ’s body when he was lifted down from the cross after being crucified Credit: Photo: EPA Experiments conducted by scientists at the University of Padua in northern Italy have dated the shroud to ancient times, a few centuries before and after the life of Christ. The analysis is published in a new book, “Il Mistero della Sindone” or The Mystery of the Shroud, by Giulio Fanti, a professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at Padua University, and Saverio Gaeta, a journalist.
Scientists, including Prof Fanti, used infra-red light and spectroscopy \u2013 the measurement of radiation intensity through wavelengths \u2013 to analyse fibres from the shroud, which is kept in a special climate-controlled case in Turin.
The tests dated the age of the shroud to between 300 BC and 400AD.
The experiments were carried out on fibres taken from the Shroud during a previous study, in 1988, when they were subjected to carbon-14 dating.
Mr Fanti, a Catholic, said his results were the fruit of 15 years of research.
He said the carbon-14 dating tests carried out in 1988 were \u201cfalse\u201d because of laboratory contamination.
Each year it lures hundreds of thousands of faithful to Turin Cathedral, where it is kept in a specially designed, climate-controlled case.
Mr Fanti said the imprint was caused by a blast of \u201cexceptional radiation\u201d, although he stopped short of describing it as a miracle.
He said his tests backed up earlier results which claimed to have found on the shroud traces of dust and pollen which could only have come from the Holy Land.
Mr Gaeta is also a committed Catholic – he worked for L\u2019Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, and now works for Famiglia Cristiana, a Catholic weekly.
The Vatican has never said whether it believes the shroud to be authentic or not, although Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI once said that the enigmatic image imprinted on the cloth “reminds us always” of Christ’s suffering.
The app, sanctioned by the Catholic Church and called “Shroud 2.0”, features high definition photographs of the cloth and enables users to see details that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abortion and Breast Cancer Risk<\/strong> Breast cancer risk can be affected by a number of things that alter these hormone levels. For example, women who have more menstrual periods over their lifetime (because their periods start earlier, they go through menopause later, or they never get pregnant) have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. The use of some types of hormones (for birth control or to control the symptoms of menopause) can also increase breast cancer risk slightly (although this risk goes down over time after hormone use is stopped). On the other hand, breastfeeding might lower breast cancer risk slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do the studies show?<\/strong> The results of studies looking at the possible link between breast cancer and induced abortion often differ depending on how the study was done. Cohort studies and studies that used records to determine the history of abortions have not found an increased risk. Some case-control studies, however, have found an increase in risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retrospective case-control studies<\/strong> In 2004, the Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer, based out of Oxford University in England, put together the results of many studies that looked at abortion and breast cancer risk. It looked at both cohort and case-control studies. When the studies that gathered information retrospectively (case-control studies) were looked at together, there were about 39,000 women with breast cancer (the cases) that were compared to about 48,000 women who hadn\u2019t had breast cancer (the controls). They found about an 11% increased risk of breast cancer in women who reported having an induced abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some other retrospective studies published since then have also found an increased risk, including a case-control study of about 1,300 women from China (published in 2012) and a case-control study of 300 women in Iran (published in 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why don\u2019t all of the studies agree?<\/strong> Induced abortion brings up many strong feelings in people, so it is often hard to study its long-term effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before 1973, induced abortions were illegal in much of the United States. So when researchers asked a woman about past pregnancies, she may not have felt comfortable saying that she had an abortion. Even though abortion is now legal, it is still a very personal, private matter that many women do not like to talk about. This means that many women might not report having an abortion if asked for a study. In contrast, women with breast cancer are more likely to accurately report their reproductive histories, including a history of having an abortion. This recall bias (which was discussed earlier) could lead to retrospective studies finding links that aren\u2019t found in prospective studies. Still, not everyone agrees that this is the reason that the different types of studies conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004, the Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer, based out of Oxford University in England, put together the results from 53 separate studies done in 16 different countries. These studies included about 83,000 women with breast cancer (44,000 in prospective studies and 39,000 in retrospective studies). Although the results of the retrospective studies showed a small increase in risk, the prospective studies found a small decrease in risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
