Researcher says text proves Shroud of Turin real
ROME – A Vatican researcher claims a nearly invisible text on the Shroud of Turin proves the authenticity of the artifact revered as Jesus’ burial cloth. The claim made in a new book by historian Barbara Frale drew immediate skepticism from some scientists, who maintain the shroud is a medieval forgery.
Frale, a researcher at the Vatican archives, said Friday that she used computers to enhance images of faintly written words in Greek, Latin and Aramaic scattered across the shroud.

The only thing that this study proves is the poor grasp on reality that Frale maintains.
His knowledge of scientific forensics is actually below zero!
Still, it gave me a laugh, so it was not for nothing.
