In the first reports of this 'discovery', the woman made it very clear that this fragment did NOT confirm the existence of a wife for Jesus. She stated clearly that it was a fragment of a larger piece that should not be taken out of context to fit a lager agenda.

Has this part of the story been cast by the wayside now?

What you are talking about is not a “part of the story” but rather points to the fact that Karen King is a reasonable human being.

The author makes a mention of her disclaimers in the first paragraph of the article, so obviously he is not casting anything by the wayside.
