Controversial papyrus proven authentic, but alas it's not a marriage cert

Scientists who examined a controversial fragment of papyrus written in Egyptian Coptic in which Jesus speaks of his 'wife' concluded that the papyrus and ink are probably ancient and not a modern forgery.

The existence of a fragment of papyrus, known as the Gospel of Jesus’s Wife, was made public at an academic conference in 2012. It is seen by some as a glimpse of how ancient Christians thought while decried by others, including the Vatican, as an absurd fake.
