Wedding bells for Jesus?

A fragment of 4th century Egyptian papyrus including incomplete lines of script made the headlines today, above the fold, in the Boston Globe:

HINT OF A MARRIED JESUS

 

Would that the many who will jump on this scrap of script might read the complete gospels with equal credulity and follow up with the headline:  

HINT OF A REDEEMING JESUS  

But that ain't gonna happen!

Shades of The Da Vinci Code...

For a reasoned take on all of this I recommend this by Michael Peppard.

UPDATE! Yet another helpful perspective: from James Martin, SJ in the NYT
