Scientific Research on the Shroud of Turin?
Don Leichel's book Sworn to Secrecy reveals:
Introduction
On January 30, the book "Sworn to Secrecy" - available for purchase at https://theshroudcodes.com/exclusive-offer.html was sent by registered mail to the Vatican, enclosing a petition for two critical tests recommended to conclude the Shroud of Turin's authenticity debate. The nature of these tests are highlighted in the closing arguments in the book.

Nature of the tests
These are non invasive, so no damage is done to the Shroud:
(1) To apply use of the most modern visualization techniques to analyze the items placed on the eyelids of the crucified victim in the Shroud. These may contain symbols and/or letters impressed on the surface of the objects.
(2) In addition, most modern mitochondrial DNA analytical techniques be applied to tiny blood drops taken from the Shroud. Consequently blood selection is critical. The test team must be absolutely certain that samples are taken from areas indicative of the most severe trauma suffered by the crucified victim.
Importance of the Pope's response
God willing we hope in the following blog to communicate the Pope's reply as absolute highlight: the church's decision to apply the most modern avenues of scientific research presently available to finally determine the official status of the Turin Shroud.
