Priestly apologetics in a sermon this a.m.

[Angrboda]

Although nothing in this story contradicts anything else in the Gospels, many analysts of the Greek text and manuscripts of the Gospel of John have argued that it was "certainly not part of the original text of St John's Gospel.". . . In terms of simple quantities, 1,476 Greek manuscripts include the pericope adulterae, and 267 do not include it. Among those 267, however, are some manuscripts which are exceptionally early and which most textual analysts consider the most important.

You don't need to get into a pissing contest over a legitimate concern.
