It is prettty plain that the early catholic Church did not believe it was genuine or it would seem it would have been part of the new testament.
I don`t know what to think about it
I am impressed with it in a manner that is greater than any of the other “pseudo gospels” that get more current press and definitely are from the gnostic realm. I was also impressed when I found Mr. Swett’s analysis of it and his reasoning for this being perhaps the earliest writing we have.
If you havent read his analysis, I recommend you do.
I've often wondered why the rcc didn't make this and the Protoevangalium of James, due in part to it's "account" of Mary, as part of the canon at Trent when they approved their NT.
That they didn't is telling.
