The most important decision to create the truth of the resurrection based on the preponderance of scientific evidence.

Dear Pope Francis- If the Shroud of Turin is really the burial cloth of The Lord, then He must have wanted us to have it be known. Please let the proof be found so people can believe. Thank you.

Please re-test the Shroud!

What is the reason why the pope won't allow the test on the shroud? If it verifies that the cloth is from around His death and that it was made by radiation, I would think it would do so much to convert countless to be His followers.

If this particular testing proves the shroud is authentic, it could shake the world out of its complacency to consider Jesus and an after life once again.

Please allow the Shroud of Turin to be tested using the newest methods available. We are sure it is Jesus.

The image on the shroud is genuine and produced by a means of spiritual radiation which altered the cloth at the atomic level to extend its natural lifespan. Otherwise it would have deteriorated by now. A full explanation is given in A Course In Spiritual Philosophy, available free from many sources.

To my mind, the idea of new tests is the right one. It will undoubtedly help some of us, or many of us, to get closer to Jesus, his teaching and the truth in his teaching. Milosz Grygierczyk, Poland

Pope Francis please have the Shroud of Turin tested to prove its validity.

Please try to retest the Shroud in a way that utilizes an actual logical scientific process (like: Applied AFM techniques and SERS, ATR-FTIR, etc.) to test pieces of the original, non-carbonized, unburned remains of the Holy Shroud ...and thus, using non-destructive analyses: a good investigation, avoiding to destroy forever these precious samples!.

It seems to me the more the Shroud is examined the more fascinating results, so may it continue. I think it's showing us how much more we have to learn about ourselves. I would like to see it tested for sound and vibration. Tina Bearham England

I believe these tests can prove the shroud is Jesus authentic burial cloth. That would help many people to get closer to Jesus and make world better.

The Carbon 14 result should be reinvestigated.There is so much unsatisfactory controversy surrounding it. Why was a result obtained which linked the shroud to the Mediaeval period? Because of a repaired part being tested or because of additional radiation produced at the time of the resurrection?

Nothing is more important to all creation than proving this is actually Jesus Christ and Him resurrecting from the dead....surely the Pope understands this, right?

If it is real it was left for a reason. Scientific validity could change the world.

I believe that it is appropriate to allow any reasonable scientific test that could yield further information about the origin of the Shroud of Turin.

As a Christian, I feel it is important to use every God-given talent to find out the authenticity of the Shroud
