I believe you have a basic misunderstanding of what happened and what the scriptures say about this.
You can of course choose to believe whatever BS the Catholic Church tells you to believe if it helps to support your obsession with this fakery.

Glad you appreciate my restraint.

That is another one of your misconceptions because you refuse to consider any of the evidence for the authenticity for the Shroud and the Sudarium. I believe in it. That is why I present this information. It is no different from why I present my belief in Jesus and the Holy Bible and creation instead of evilution and atheism.

The main evidence from a Christian perspective is scripture, which contradicts what you propose. There is a ton of scientific evidence indicating that the shroud is medieval, it looks medieval, the face looks like something from an Arthurian legend not from a small Palestinian guy. The whole thing reeks of poor fakery before one even considers the scientific evidence against it.

Summary of scientific and historical evidence supportive of the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin as the ancient burial cloth of the historical Jesus of Nazareth.

In his most recent effort, Fanti and a research team from the University of Padua conducted three tests on tiny fibers extracted from the shroud during earlier carbon-14 dating tests conducted in 1988, according to Vatican Insider. The first two tests used infrared light and Raman spectroscopy, respectively, while the third employed a test analyzing different mechanical parameters relating to voltage.
The results date the cloth to between 300 B.C. and 400 A.D., per The Telegraph.

Forensic Analysis of the Shroud of Turin
There is no other man known to have been punished and crucified by the Romans in exactly the same manner as that described of Jesus of Nazareth. However, the forensic amalysis of the Shroud of Turin has revealed that the man depicted there on the Shroud was indeed punished and crucified in exactly the same manner as told by the New Testament writers.
There is no way known to have produced such a cloth with this forensic information by fakery according to the expert coroners in violent deaths without a real person being tortured and crucified to death and some unknown imaging technique used according to image analysis experts.
So this means that if this is a middle age fake and not the cloth that wrapped the body of Jesus of Nazareth, then the forger would had to have killed a man and produce all the injuries and also come up with an imaging technique that is still unknown to science. The simplest conclusion, according to occam's razor is that the Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth and the image was produce when He was miraculously raised from the grave.
Many people do not like to believe in miracles. However, this is the only reasonable option available at present. That is why I believe the Shroud of turin is genuine and authentic.
