Shroud of Turin gets ‘true crime’ treatment in science-driven documentary

Catholic News Agency, Shannon Mullen:

In 1988, carbon-dating tests concluded the Shroud of Turin was a 700-year-old fake. Thirty-five years later, 21st-century science is pointing to a dramatically different conclusion.

The carbon tests overseen by the British Museum and Oxford University have since been discredited. For reasons not fully explained, researchers analyzed only a small fiber sample taken from an edge of the shroud that was damaged in a fire in 1532 and mended by Poor Clare nuns using dyes.
