Pope all-but endorses Turin Shroud
Pope Benedict XVI all but gave an outright endorsement of the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, calling the cloth that some believe is Christ’s burial shroud an icon “written with the blood” of a crucified man.
During a visit to the shroud in the northern Italian city yesterday, Benedict did not raise the scientific questions that surround the linen and whether it might be a medieval forgery.
