"It's interesting how this story keeps coming back, especially at Easter time," said Mark Goodacre, professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at Duke University. Jimmy Akin wrote an extensive article on this ossuary.
In 2002 a unique archaeological find was announced: a limestone ossuary (bone box) that may have held the remains of James the brother of Jesus. The box dates to first century Palestine and is inscribed in Jesus native language, Aramaic, with the words James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.

Even if his argument were true, how would he ever be able to prove it?

Catholics have written plenty of articles/books/commentaries suggesting that the events of Genesis 1-11 (and the Book of Jonah . . . and the Book of Daniel . . . and the Book of Esther) didn't happen.
What's the difference?

The next day, the one following the day of preparation,* the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 c and said, Sir, we remember that this impostor while still alive said, After three days I will be raised up. 64 Give orders, then, that the grave be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people, He has been raised from the dead. This last imposture would be worse than the first.* 65 Pilate said to them, The guard is yours;* go secure it as best you can. 66 So they went and secured the tomb by fixing a seal to the stone and setting the guard. I see they're still trying to convince others that Jesus was an "imposter".

My faith is not challenged by the New York Times, they have so many times have been so profoundly in error that I found the notion laughable.

"It's interesting how this story keeps coming back, especially at Easter time..." Yes, isn't it? You might almost think it was deliberate or something.

I believe this rumor started shortly after the crucifixion. Paid off a couple of Roman guards to say the Body was stolen.
Nothing new here....move along.

Jesus and his family sure had a lot of burial sites. It looks like the mainstream media find a new burial site belonging to them every year.
