4 Foods We Owe To The Catholic Church
The Catholic faith has always had a deeply intertwined relationship with food. Whether it is the apple in the Garden of Eden, The Manna from Heaven, The Passover Meal, The MIracle of the Wine, The Multiplication of the Fish and Loaves, or the Eucharist itself, food plays a central role in our faith.
But there are common foods that you eat every day, that if it were not for the Catholic Church, you probably wouldn’t eat.

Interesting episode, and I have ordered Lavoie’s book to learn more. But I was disappointed by one thing this mentioned: it is simply not true that nobody has ever been able to re-create the kind of image found on the Shroud. The book “Turin Shroud: In Whose Image?” by Lynn Picknett features her team’s success in creating an image like the one on the Shroud which features many of the same anomalies. They did this using a camera obscura and technology available in the 14th century. Given the original carbon dating, you don’t need to buy into her theories as to who forged the Shroud to find this accomplishment intriguing. I would be very interested to see more debate on her theories regarding how the Shroud was created and any new evidence that would debunk it. So far, I haven’t found any.
My intent is not to upset anyone who believes in the Shroud’s authenticity by mentioning this or questioning it. But I think we should be able to examine relics without feeling that it is an attack on faith, which should not rely on any physical artifacts to strengthen our beliefs.
