After Thousands Of Years, Patrick Pullicino Reveals The Cause Of Jesus' Death, Here's His Theory!

JAKARTA - Claims from a neurologist say that Jesus of Nazareth died of fatal bleeding. This happened after he dislocated his shoulder while carrying the cross to his own crucifixion.

The Bible details how Jesus fell while carrying the cross, before being pierced in the side by a Roman soldier's spear, causing 'blood and water' to gush out of his stomach.

According to legend a pious man, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, asked Jesus about the greatest unrecorded suffering of His Passion.

Jesus answered: 'I carried my cross in the way of sorrow, while I carried my cross, a grievous wound that is more painful than any other and which is not recorded by man.'

Experts agree that Jesus most likely dislocated his right shoulder when he fell, carrying the cross.

However, the doctor-turned-priest, Patrick Pullicino, believes he may have been killed by the complications associated with this wound.

Pullicino also believes he can explain why, as recounted in the Gospel of John, 'blood and water' were poured out from the body of Christ crucified.

Pastor and Prof Pullicino, based in London, has written a scientific paper on his theory and published it in the Catholic Medical Quarterly.

He analyzed the work done by forensic and medical experts on the Shroud of Turin, also known as the Holy Shroud, where Jesus was wrapped after the crucifixion.

For centuries, people have debated over the authenticity of the shroud, which has been preserved since 1578 in the royal chapel of the San Giovanni Battista cathedral in Turin, Italy.

One of the most controversial relics in the Christian world, the statue bears a cryptic image of a man whose body appears to have nail wounds to his wrists and feet.

Some believe that it was a physical relationship with Jesus of Nazareth. For others, it is nothing more than an elaborate forgery.

In 1988, radiocarbon tests on samples of the shroud suggested that it was from the Middle Ages, between 1260 and 1390. However, more recent research in the 2010s refuted this claim, arguing instead that the linen sheets were from ancient times. Jesus, first century AD.

Noting the faint traces on the shroud, which appear to show a figure bearing crucifixion wounds, Pastor and Prof Pullicino said the position of the man's dislocated shoulder was significant.

He said that it was pulled so far from its socket that the right hand stretched 4 inches (10cm) lower than the left.

When stretched for a crucifixion like this, Reverend and Prof Pullicino believe it would cause the subclavian arteries – a pair of large arteries in the chest that supply blood to the head, neck, shoulders, and arms – to rupture.

"This in turn will cause major internal bleeding," said Pullicino, as quoted by the Daily Mail. In the end, this bleeding resulted in the death of a person.

Not only that, but about three liters of blood would have filled the cavity between the ribs and the lungs, which he says explains why blood spurted out of Jesus' stomach when he was stabbed with a spear.

The water, according to Prof Pullicino, is probably cerebrospinal fluid, which has a translucent appearance.

"Due to this stretch of the right arm, the right subclavian/axillary artery is also stretched, as it is the only intact structure remaining that connects the body and the right arm," says Pullicino.

“The transfer of body weight to the arm in inspiration may have caused further stretching of the right subclavian artery. Transferring weight to the legs in an exhalation will reverse this stretch."

"This will cause the stretched subclavian artery to move across the surface of the ribs with each breath and the lower part will experience friction," he added.

"This paper postulates that over three hours, the subclavian artery becomes sloughed, injured and its walls thinned until the artery ruptures and bleeds profusely," Pullicino said.
