The only big debate at Nicea besides Arianism was what do you want on your tombstone. Constantine 'supposedly' didn't interfere and simply observed the proceedings. If there's one thing Constantine was constitutionally incapable of doing it was 'not interfering'.
This would raise a ruckus because there are passages of Jesus exhorting his flock not to marry. It will simply be dismissed as more gnostic nonsense.
"He has a wife, you know. Do you know what she's called....."
If she was Mrs Christ wouldn't that mean that "Jesus fucking christ" would have happened!

Quote: CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A historian of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School has identified a scrap of papyrus that she says was written in Coptic in the fourth century and contains a phrase never seen in any piece of Scripture: “Jesus said to them, ‘My wife …'”
The faded papyrus fragment is smaller than a business card, with eight lines on one side, in black ink legible under a magnifying glass. Just below the line about Jesus having a wife, the papyrus includes a second provocative clause that purportedly says, “she will be able to be my disciple.”
At least in this tradition you don't have to worry about your godboy being gay.
There were all kinds of stories about Jesus. There was one also in Coptic I believe that said Jesus had a twin brother. That should complicate matters more than having a wife. Would the twin brother be a man-god too?

And if a single fragment of something was ever found supposedly supporting the existence of christ, they would all be jumping around proclaiming victory!
You got that right.

Sorry if i am repeating, but "My Wife" refers to the Bride of Christ or "The Church."

Depends if the twin was identical or fraternal... If identical, yes, he would be a man-god. If fraternal, well, it could happen that that child was not fathered by the same man (rare, but happens), thereby negating the virgin birth, which is still problematic for Christians.

So sayeth "the bride". Course we can obviously trust this bride, it's not as though she might have been looking to make an opportunistic grab on the estate of said "individual"
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But there wasn't a "church" at that point... Christ came first, the Church came a long time later...

The reverse is probably the case Festive.

Ah, no. Did you even click on the link?
The passage in ephesians was written to the Church at Ephesus, and the passage to the Corthians was written to the Church at Corinth.

Appealing to fanfic to establish the authority of said fanfic? Meh, unimpressive.
