Turin University professor confirms the Shroud is authentic

Pierluigi Baima Bollone, physician and professor of Legal Medicine at the University of Turin, confirmed during the presentation of his book ‘The Mystery of the Shroud, revelations and discoveries for the third millennium’ that “The Shroud is authentic”, at hte time that he objects while the carbon 14 tests of 1988 according to which the workpiece is dated between 1260 and 1390 AD’.

At the Association of Religious Information Journalists, the teacher said he would bet all his money on the authenticity of the shroud of Christ since according to new data, color photographs and other black and white and the scanning of bloodstains, confirmed that the medieval dating of the shroud is “technically unacceptable.”

His intention is to perform a new carbon-14 test but using different methods, and said, “Pope Benedict XVI is who has to decide on this question.”

The practitioner denies that the sheet was a painting and stated that “the bloodstains are printed following the shape of the human body, while the face appears in a linear fashion” and it “is possible to achieve this effect through painting.”

Pope Benedict XVI announced he will visit the city of Turin to venerate the shroud.
