Jeff,
While the Church does not officially offer a position on its authenticity,
it has been venerated by many Popes including the current one: Pope St. John Paul II.
There is much debate over the authenticity in the scientific community,
but the overwhelming evidence points to it being authentic. Most scientists who
have directly studied the Shroud will admit that science has no explanation
for it; even the carbon dating results have been subject to great rethinking.
For the best source on the shroud try shroud.com.
There you will find countless articles on scientific studies, etc.
Peace,
Bob K.
