Long-lost gospel of Judas recasts 'traitor' By Dan Vergano and Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY Lost for centuries and bound for controversy, the so-called gospel of Judas was unveiled by scholars Thursday. [Yahoo News]

Now, let us be clear here. The gospel of Judas was not lost like no one knew it existed. In point of fact, "[t]he text's existence has been known since it was denounced as heresy by the bishop of Lyon in A.D. 180, but its contents had remained an almost total mystery.[Washington Post]"

Already the established Church is jumping on the "big deal" bandwagon. Rather than embracing the opposing points of view that will continue to be unearthed as more and more of the "missing" parts of the Bible come to life, they are going to bury their head in the sand and hope it all goes away without upsetting their 2000 years of carefully crafted fantasy and, more importantly, financially lucrative story telling.
