The announcement at an academic conference in Rome is sure to send shock waves through the Christian world. We who believe that Jesus is the risen Messiah ... collectively yawn.

yawn. This kind of nonsense, Dan Brown redux, tries to rear its head in “scholarship” all the time.
To: Renfield
Pfffft.
It’s already being discredited as a fraud, not that I needed any “expert” to tell me this.

It is a lie that Jesus was married. Many breakaway group believed all kinds of things about Jesus and God. The fact that someone wrote one of these false ideas down 400 years after Jesus doesn’t make it true.
Most importantly - the Catholic Church completely rejects the notion He was married therefore it is false.

So will the researcher next week find a copy of Dan Browns book and insist it is real?
Sounds like she found an ancient “Dan Brown” like papyrus.

in order to be noticed and bring attention to this so as to to get an apology from the Obama state department should we (Christians) riot, burn buildings and cause general mayhem???

I am skeptical of this but if Christ was married I would neither be overly surprised or bothered by it.
To: Renfield
Jesus is married. To the Church.

Harvard “researcher” Karen King (who now occupies the oldest, and formerly one of the most prestigious, chairs in America) has devoted her academic life to feminist and anti-Christian “research”.
It is no surprise that she has now “discovered” what is almost certainly a forgery, if she did not create it herself.
That having been said, if Jesus had been married sometime between the age of 12 and when He began His public ministry around age 30, it would not be remarkable to me and it would not affect my faith in the least.

>> Harvard researcher Karen King today unveiled an ancient papyrus fragment with the phrase, Jesus said to them, My wife.” bla bla bla
Whatever. Last weekend I ‘unveiled’ some graffiti on a cinder block fragment in a bathroom at an interstate highway rest stop that claimed that Jesus was... well, nevermind, it’s not important because it’s not true.
However, I do wonder why these Harvard researchers seem never to unveil any semi-ancient papyruses (papyrusii?) that give us new insights into the un-god Allah or his pedophile, er, I mean prophet Muhammed. I wonder why that is.

Oooohh.
A fourth century Coptic text.
So that's only 200 years after the actual Gospels.
That's kind of like finding a text from 1998 that says that George Washington stole Richard Grieco's Walkman.
To: Renfield
The rest of the fragment has been discovered. The entire text says,
Jesus said to them, My wife, Mary, is going to McDonalds. Who wants a burger? The text's authenticity has been thrown into question...

Written 400 years after the birth of Christ, this business card item with no other corroborating writings is supposed to be honored in academic circles as a significant finding? One fake in 400 years isn't so bad. There is a major amount of writings that Biblical scholars have omitted from the Bible because they cannot be corroborated or there is too little to justify their inclusion. This is too little to reverse thousands of years of academic studies and writings.
