Lazy, I'm an atheist and don't really give a damn which brand of heresy you're peddling today - Arianism, smells like - but some of your information seems a bit off. I don't know where you got that Da Vinci stuff, but I'd like to mention that the first known sighting of the Shroud of Turin is in the 14th century, a good while before ol' Leo trod this earth (Leonardo was born in 1452). A quick check in Wikipedia confirms it first belonged to a certain Geoffroi de Charny, a French knight, and that it was displayed by him in a church in the year 1357. There is apparently a tangible artifact confirming this in the shape of a pilgrim's medallion, which bears the same image as the Shroud (along with de Charny's coat of arms) and currently rests in the Museum Cluny of Paris.
You should also probably corroborate that statement about Jesus having brothers and sisters with some real historical data, because I'm 90% sure it's bull.
