I’ve been studying the Shroud since I was in 6th grade(I’m 58 now!). I’ve read every book, pro and con, any peer reviewed scientific studies I could get my hands on, and I’m convinced the Shroud is authentic.
I got to see the Shroud in 1978, It was a marvelous experience. After dinner that night walked by the Cathedral and could see them setting up for the scientific study’s that were to follow the public viewing.
