“Maria Paola was a sincere Catholic with different ideas than Giuseppe’s. ‘I have been leading studies on the Shroud of Turin, and I have concluded that it is authentic. It is the shroud in which Jesus’s body was wrapped,’ said Maria Paola with her birdlike voice.
“Giuseppe was anticlerical. He was convinced that all relics were tricks to deceive people, so he interrupted Maria Paola. ‘Don’t be absurd! You must know that some samples of that fabric were cut out from the shroud and sent to three different laboratories in different countries. All three fixed the time when the fabric had been made. The result was that the shroud dated back to about the fourteenth century AD. It
means that the Shroud of Turin is a fake.’ ‘No, it is not a fake!’ replied Maria Paola. ‘Do you think the Carbon-fourteen test is unreliable?’
“Maria Paola looked upset but tried to control herself. And then, she expressed her opinion calmly. ‘I don’t want to say that the Carbon-fourteen test is unreliable, but energy can alter matter. At the moment of Jesus’s resurrection, the energy was so powerful that all physical laws were upset. Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that the fabric of the Shroud of Turin is beyond time. The Carbon-fourteen test can’t work with such an altered material.’
