The Shroud of Turin is viewed as a religious relic and therefore needs no verification although the Vatican declares it to be the authentic winding sheet of Christ. Several studies have been done, in the late 70's and then again in the 90's and the results, while initially being thought to be negative, are now viewed as inconclusive.
No one has been able to naturally explain the phenomenon of the '3 D' effect and the inconclusiveness was caused by contamination on the shroud.

Improved Answer:
The Catholic Church has never declared the Shroud to be the genuine burial cloth of Christ nor does the Church claim it to be a fake. There is insufficient evidence to make any sort of proclamation. It is treated as a representation of the burial cloth of Christ - a work or art. However, since it 'could' be the actual burial cloth it is treated with the utmost respect and honor.
