I know this is asking a lot, but use your head.
Do you think, after the last set of tests failing
to make the shroud old enough, that the
Vatican secretly picked this new testing lab
for its objectivity?

No.

You use your head. The Shroud was "dated" by a bunch of atheists at 1130-1290. Ok. Fine. Please explain how a bunch of medieval bufoons produced a photonegative image on a piece of cloth, an image that they couldn't even see let alone verify for its accuracy, seven centuries before the invention of the camera.

The cardinal said the research involved removing impurities and residue from the cloth, which is 13 feet long and three feet wide.

I doubt the Church is "hand-picking" to get certain results. They would have to know that would undermine all their credibility concerning The Shroud.

Me? I'm a believer.
