"Just pay and the research will be done. And you can even find someone to publish it. It is undeniable that behind some of these studies there are groups that want to make people believe that the Shroud is a historical fake. One example among many: there is a fine documentary called La notte della Sindone (The Night of the Shroud). Well, this documentary was never broadcast by Rai because it contains a statement that perhaps some people do not like. This statement is represented by a letter on the letterhead of the Curia of Turin, which Cardinal Anastasio Ballestrero, then custodian of the Shroud, sent to his scientific advisor, engineer Luigi Gonella, in which he firmly stated that in the matter of carbon-14 dating (later refuted by several subsequent studies, ed.), there had been the hand of Freemasonry, which wanted at all costs to prove that the Shroud was medieval. In short, there is annoyance towards a "real Shroud on the part of those who want to deny not only Christ but also his Resurrection"."
