re: #261 Almost Killed by Space Hookers

There are several reasons this is “news”.

First and foremost is that the fragment found, if authentic, would be the oldest fragment of a “gospel” to allude to Jesus being married.

Even though it would date to the end of the 4th, or perhaps 5th century, it would show that the Eastern churches had some parishes with that belief system.

The Roman church can not tolerate this.

The Vatican is calling it “fake” based on the teaching, not the papyrology.

What you are referring to is often called the Gospel of Mary.

re: #264 Gus

Only skilled papyrologists, assisted by dating of the papyrus material, will be able to determine the origins of the physical document.
