Time for a digression, already

When you see the word may in a headline, do not willingly suspend disbelief. May is a wiggle-word for a story that doesn't say anything conclusively, but just opens a possibility. So now we have a small papyrus, tentatively dated to the fourth century with a partial sentence that reads "“Jesus said to them, ‘My wife ...’ ”

We don't know, can't know who wrote it or under what circumstances. But we'll all have to deal with a bunch of ignoramuses who just know it's been proven that Jesus was married. They'll probably make a History Channel marathon out of this one.
