The Author has the modest purpose to introduce and examine the Shroud and he does not want to induce the reader to believe to think that the Sheet has wrapped Christ's body or, as commonly said, that it's authentic; however, Pagliarino supposes that the affirmative reasons are prevailing: many are the data in favor and only two facts are against and just one of them is objectively considerable: the tests of the carbon 14; however, many experts say that these tests were not convincing; the other adverse reason is the anticlerical prejudice: it's very strong and leads to consider with nuisance the Shroud without investigating enough the matter.
