0:00.0	Oh, church, when did we lose our way?
0:11.6	Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.
0:13.7	I'm your host John Williamson, and we're back with a special bonus episode.
0:17.3	This one is brand new content.
0:18.8	I'm actually in the middle of releasing it for my other podcast from The Void, where we talk about all sorts of strange and unusual mysteries. But as I was working on this particular episode, I thought, hey, this would fit nicely with the theme of what we discuss here on the deconstructionists and would make for a fun holiday episode. So for this one, I sat down with Nora Creech. She works extensively on the
0:39.2	Shrout of Turin. Some of you may have heard of this, but she works with a group called Athonia.
0:43.7	They study the linen cloth, and she's an experienced lecturer on the history science and pastoral
0:49.4	implications of the Shrout. Nora was kind enough to come on the show and share her vast
0:53.5	knowledge behind the Shroud, what we know, what we don't know, the sorts of scientific tests that have been
0:58.1	conducted. And the fact remains, though, that the authenticity of the Shroud remains controversial,
1:03.3	which we discuss in the episode. Dan McClellan, who's been a guest on the show and I'm a big
1:08.3	fan of Dan's work. He recently did a really good episode on his
1:11.5	podcast about The Shroud, his podcast called Data over Dogma. And it's been written about extensively.
1:17.1	There's tons of stuff out on the internet. But whether it's authentic or whether it's a hoax,
1:21.7	the fact remains that at the end of the day, it still comes down to the question of faith,
1:26.8	ultimately placing our trust in
1:28.7	something that is unprovable and unquantifiable. So enjoy this episode. I'm releasing the full
1:34.9	interview here as a bonus. I'd also like to say, happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and a
1:40.6	happy New Year to all of you out there listening. After nearly 10 years of doing this
1:45.2	podcast, it still brings me a ton of joy to put these interviews out there in hopes it provides
1:50.1	some value to all of you. So with much love for me, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season
1:55.1	and a wonderful new year. And we'll be back next week and technically next year with brand new
	...
