They were very cagey about their use of the word “authentic” this time. After wading through the legalese of how it was worded, you discovered they were actually declaring authentic the age of the INK that was on the manuscript.
But the headline then could say, “Jesus Wife Fragment Declared Authentic” (or something like that)
And it’s headlines that people see and hear.
Wait until they find the old manuscript that establishes conclusively that Moses was a cross dresser and Bathsheba was actually the hunky husband of a powerful warrior woman.
Islamic texts remain untouched, though.
