Nothing in the above article can be regarded as plausible from a genuinely scientific standpoint. No credible scientist would ever make any of the flaky statements made in it. For example: "By their internal and external characteristics, the real stigmata studied to date are outside all the laws that regulate physiopathology and must be considered as phenomena of a supernatural character" All independent investigations of stigmata have shown them to be utterly fake. For a good rational discussion on this topic please see the following article by an expert who has conducted some of these investigations: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_4_24/ai_63693003/print Cheers, Santosh P.S. The Shroud of Turin has been conclusively proven to be a fake.
