A Vatican City newspaper has asserted that a controversial ancient document -- which hints that Jesus may have been married -- is a fabrication, the Christian Post website reports today (September 30, 2012).
LOsservatore Romano ran an article by Alberto Camplani -- a leading scholar of Coptic documents -- who said that the Coptic papyrus recently unveiled and implying that Jesus was married is a fake.
"The papyrus was not discovered in the process of excavation, but came from an antiquarian market," wrote Camplani.
He added, "Such an object demands that numerous precautions be taken to establish its reliability and exclude the possibility of forgery."
