Why are we even talking about this?

The National Geographic Society unveiled on Thursday a text purported to be the 'Gospel of Judas'. As the Philadelphia Inquirer puts it, "An intriguing tale, but it lacks the ring of Gospel truth."

Read the whole story, as it presents views of Christians from different denominations both skeptical and favorable towards the claims in the book. Then read some background on the Gnostics.

Amazing that some people have forgotten, or just never bothered to learn, the history of the Church. This is nothing new.
