Dr. McCrone's Abstract published in
Analytical Chemistry. 1990
Dr. McCrone's hypotheses
Father Otterbein our founder
To support their position, critics of the Shroud accused Fr. Otterbein of suppressing Dr. McCrone's findings that the Shroud was created by an artist. But in fact, Fr. Otterbein wanted Dr. McCrone's findings to be published with STURP's final report. The Holy Shroud Guild has sat idle while many reports have blamed the Guild for this suppression.
Below are just a few correspondence between the parties. The names of the STURP members has been deleted since it's only our position to represent the Holy Shroud Guild. STURP and its members have they're own protocol to follow on how the science needs to be presented, and, as stated by Father Otterbein, "we'll leave that to the scientific community".
