Judas

Just for the record, I am not sure what the fuss is about with the Judas document. Already in the canonical gospels, we have a record of Jesus having told Judas to go and do what he was going to do, which instruction seems to be the most theologically contentious claim in the purported Judas account.

That said, the discovery has occasioned some enjoyable absurdity. The website Regret The Error compiles corrections from newspapers all over the world. (In my personal all-time favorite, the editors of the Chicago Tribune apologized for neglecting to include photos of Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-Il from the layout of Axis of Evil leaders. Sorry, guys!). Regret the Error includes a recent correction from the Guardian, a British paper:

We stated wrongly that Judas had been "reviled for more than 2,000 years", which would mean that he was unloved from birth (Judas: this is really what happened, page 1, yesterday). We meant "almost 2,000 years".

Only his mother knows for sure.

There's also a "who cares what he has to say" item on Topic Drift, which is always good for a chortle or a perplexed brow-furrowing.
