We have heard from Barrie Schwortz about his latest update to shroud.com. It will be the last major update of 2011.
And with this update, we are adding a small link on every page of the blog to a message from Barrie. Click on it and consider making a donation.
Here are details and links for the update:
Once again the year is drawing to a close and we again have reached the final website update before the holidays. Of course, our next scheduled update is on January 21, 2012 and will mark the 16th Anniversary of Shroud.com. And as always, there are still a number of items I was unable to include in this update, more specifically, the various papers that were recently submitted to us for publication. As you know, we now have an Editorial Review Committee of fourteen members that screens all submitted papers and decides which are published. However, they can’t screen them if they don’t have them! With my busy travel and lecture schedule this year taking up so much of my time, the papers had to be set aside until the next update in January. So if you submitted a paper to us, please be patient. It will be screened and you will be notified before the next update. And if I missed anything else, my apologies.
This update is already a large one in its own right, so here is an Update Table of Contents:

Hi again, Barrie!
Several months ago, I referred you to a book written by Knight-Lomas: “Second Messiah?” In the appendix of the book was their analysis of the shroud upon which Templar DeMolay was laid. When his torturers (priests) got weary, they removed him from the door upon which he had been crucified and laid him down (still barely alive) on the very long piece of fabric and pulled the remaining cloth over him. DeMolay and his Templar partner, deCharney were immolated on a tiny island in the River Seine, Paris, France, in 1307. The shroud turned up several hundred years later in the possession of deCharney’s family/relatives, Savoy. The rest is modern history and has very recently been declared NOT Jesus’ shroud by the Pope in Rome.
