A dental surgeon claims to see “invisible teeth” on the Shroud of Turin. But every new “discovery” only confirms how faith often masquerades as evidence. iPINIONS dissects the myth-making industry behind Christianity’s most famous relic — from Houdini’s debunking to the latest digital delusion.

Pope Leo XIV is breaking with tradition by inviting four men to live with him in the papal apartment.
