The National Geographic (yes, indeed!) reported the finding of a 62-page manuscript devoted to an account of the final days of Jesus written from the viewpoint of the man who remained for history as the traitor of Jesus. What the Gospel of Judas says is that Judas was Jesus chief apostle who “betrayed” him at the actual request of his master in order to save the world. Without him Jesus would not be sacrificed and God’s plan to redeem mankind would not have been fulfilled. Judas is the true saviour, then? It’s getting exciting...
The Catholic Church might fall short on arguments for this one. There is always the option of Judas being schizofrenic, heard too many voices, and hallucinated that God had a higher mission for him. That might work.

Hi,
i've seen the NG's documentary. The finding of the manuscript is still shadowed in doubt, however the most striking part of the documentary was the selection process of Irineu of the gospels...he said that there could only be 4 gospels, and that's why gospels such as Matthew's, Magdalena's and Judas' were forbidden...Even in the early years of cristianism, the "institution" decides what people must believe...
