Johnston said the shroud only passed to the Catholic Church in 1985 and therefore should not be dismissed as a Catholic relic.

Joe RoganAmerican comedian and host of The Joe Rogan Experience
Rogan said he is agnostic about the shroud's authenticity but fascinated that its image formation remains unexplained.
“I'm agnostic on it. I have no idea whether it's real or not real. But I find it fascinating that they have no real explanation as to how it was created”
