I think this discovery could serve to open the eyes of a lot of Sheeple who just unquestionably follow the Church. The Church basically got together and picked the books that wouldn't lead to people questioning church doctrine. I believe somewhere in the canonical Gospels, Judas is told by Jesus to do what must be done. We never know what this is, but the Gospel of Judas seems to gel with what is in the Gospels. It is a logical idea that the other disciples would view Judas as a traitor if they didn't know he had been instructed by Jesus to turn him in.

In order to get converts, Christians basically stole other people's holy days. Christmas was a celebration of the winter solstice. Easter was the rites of... uh... Belltaine? Something to that effect. It was basically a time to worship the goddess of fertility to the Celts. Halloween and All Saint's Day were originally Samhain. History proves that Jesus of Nazareth was born in the spring.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
