Johnston cited physicist Paolo Di Lazzaro's estimate of the energy required to produce the shroud image, which he called a nuclear event beyond current human capability.

“it would take 34,000 billion watts of energy traveling at 140th of a billionth of a second to change the chemical makeup of a fine linen shroud to leave that image”

Johnston said the 1976 VP8 image analyzer test revealed three-dimensional, holographic-like encoding unique to the shroud.

“there is 3D encoding on the shroud. There is a topography, almost a holographic nature to it”

Johnston cited Max Frei's pollen analysis as tying the shroud to springtime Jerusalem.

Johnston said what finally convinced him was that the world's leading scientists cannot explain or replicate the shroud image.

“the greatest scientific minds in the world cannot explain or replicate how there is an image in the shroud”

Johnston said the shroud only passed to the Catholic Church in 1985 and therefore should not be dismissed as a Catholic relic.

“The shroud did not come into Catholic possession until 1985”

Johnston called on the Catholic Church and Pope Leo to put the shroud on public display.

“So I would encourage the Catholic Church and Pope Leo, who I signed a letter to, to bring it out, let people see it, let people make up their own minds”

Johnston said a seventh-century Justinian solidus bearing Christ's face matches the shroud face at 200 points of congruence.

“This is a solidus that has 200 points of congruence, correspondence, comparability with the face of the man of the shroud”
