  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

At that time the local bishop uncovered an artist who confessed he had “cunningly painted” the image.
The problem here is that when closely examined the experts can tell you that it wasn't painted. The image appears on the surface of the fabric--not like paint which seeps into the strands.

OTOH, one guy showed that with a camera obscura apparatus and a cloth steeped in silver sulfate he can achieve very similar results.

The downside to that explanation is that it doesn't explain how one can see the thumb behind the hand.
