Does Your Grace have a comment on the shroud of Turin?

Although our Church does not have a published opinion regarding the authenticity of the shroud of Turin, Fr. Gawargeous Kolta who worked in the scientific field around thirty years before his ordination has done an extensive research concerning this shroud. He looked into the research done by the Italian and American teams and came to the conclusion that the shroud of Turin is authentic. Fr. Kolta translated to Arabic the book, "The Shroud of Turin" by Ian Wilson  as a resource for the Arabic speaking Copts in Egypt.
