The controversy flared up this week when a Chicago poli¬tician said the company was no longer giving to groups that op¬pose same-sex marriage, angering Christian conservatives who sup¬ported Chick-fil-A this summer when its president reaffirmed his opposition to gay marriage.

Is a scrap of papyrus suggesting that Jesus had a wife authentic?
