David Elkington, an ancient religion scholar who heads the British research team investigating the find, has likewise pronounced this nothing less than "the major discovery of Christian history." Elkington told the Daily Mail that "it is a breathtaking thought that we have held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church."

...which may include key clues to the last days of Jesus' life.

Yahoo! News panting almost-breathless over the possibility we'll learn something DIFFERENT than saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have already told us.

YACEM - yet another CE moron.

It’s Anno Domini, or A.D.

College boys, or, as I like to call them, the Great Brainwashed, need to give up already, put down the university koolaid(tm) and learn the Bible.

At least then they would stop using CE when they realized that if Christianity has not dissappeared in the last 2,000 years it’s probably not a realistic or productive professional goal to set for themselves.

“it is a breathtaking thought that we have held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church.”

The early saints wore lead codpieces?
