Professor Karen L. King, in her office at Harvard Divinity School, held a fragment of papyrus that she says was written in Coptic in the fourth century and contains a reference to Jesus' wife.

Will they never give up?

That man sure dresses funny.

In all seriousness, wouldn’t Jesus’ wife be mentioned in the New Testament? It is a fairly in-depth account of his life. You would think they wouldn’t have missed something like that.

Didn’t Father Guido Sarducci, on SNL, produce a copy of the bill from “The Last Brunch”?

Big deal. A piece of 400 year-removed piece of papyrus would never had been considered for inclusion when the bible was canonized.

The Council of Carthage's standards for authenticity were much higher than the NYT's

Blasphemy! Burn the embassies!

I can only pray that I’m found worthy to be accounted the bride of Christ, and to be his faithful disciple,

These people have no spirit or understanding, and and the night is coming,

My faith is utterly shattered. I must now go out and fight for “gay marriage.” /s

“Karen, I never knew you.”

I guess that would explain why Da Vinci included a woman in his painting of the Last Supper.

“Jesus said to them, ‘My wife ...take her please.’ ”

I’ll be in town all week.

“Jesus said to them, ‘My wife ..

...is the Church.’”

Really. For 1 thing, this artifact is a bit late to the discussion. It could be a copy of earlier scripts, but it could also be something made up much later.

For the other - as above, it could be the “Jesus is the husband and His bride is the Church” turned a different way.

Even with many questions unsettled, the discovery could reignite the debate over whether Jesus was married,

What questions? What debate?

There has never been any questions or debate about Jesus having a wife.

DAN BROWN’s book is FICTION!!!!!!!!!

LOL, pray for them.

It’s Greek to me.

Meanwhile if you bring up Mohammed’s child bride Islamists will riot and murder (because they too want one but don’t like the universal scorn).

In 1978, my Girl Scout troop buried a time capsule and on my picture I wrote my name and under it President of the United States. 2,000 years from now, I will be revered for the powerful position I held. It happens to be buried near where an actual President was born, so when you take what little data can be accumulated after 2,000 years, I'll probably be considered right up there with the Pharaohs, Julius Caesar and Socrates.

[Mercat]

Poor thing. She looks like she’s had a stroke.

[BuffaloJack]

It makes sense that Jesus would have a wife. Jesus was addressed as Rabbi by his followers. Since Jesus was a Jew and would have followed Jewish law, Jewish law stated that you cannot be a Rabbi unless you are married.

Is that a photo of former Senator Fred Thompson in drag?

[Auntie Mame]

Does this mean that priests can marry now? And since we’ve skipped over the definition of marriage and changed it, can they now marry their male or female lovers?

Is this where this is going?
