Is there really hidden text to be found on the Shroud? A new claim has been made and surprisingly a book has been written by a researcher at the Vatican archives. Here's the link.
"I tried to be objective and leave religious issue aside," Frale told The AP. "What I studied was an ancient document that certifies the execution of a man, in a specific time and place."
Ancient document – no problem. Executed man – if authentic – okay. Specific time and place – okay but by 3 separate facilities doing carbon dating – not the correct timing.
I have to applaud this comment: "People work on grainy photos and think they see things," said Antonio Lombatti, a church historian who has written books about the shroud. "It's all the result of imagination and computer software."
Where have I heard that before?
