In this special series, Dr. Jeannie discusses the “recently discovered” square of papyrus that supposedly proves that Jesus was married.
Listeners are offered a number of compelling reasons why the papyrus is a forgery.
She also talks about the arguments that people make for why Jesus was married… how we respond to those arguments… and whether or not any marriage on the part of Jesus would make any difference in regard to Catholic theology or Orthodox theology.
Last, she talks about similar headline-making discoveries that were offered by the media in recent years… how those claims were discredited… and what kinds of things we should think about when the media tells us some kind of “new discovery” has been made.
