This just in, from Achal Narayanan, our far-flung correspondent in Chennai, India:

“A low-cost Indian domestic airline and its in-flight magazine have tendered an “unqualified apology” for promoting Srinagar, capital of Jammu and Kashmir

state in northern India, as a place that houses a tomb believed to be that of Jesus Christ.


The Catholic Secular Forum, an activist organization, had taken strong exception to the Spicejet airline giving such information in the October issue of its magazine, ‘Spiceroute Destinations’, based on the theory that Jesus Christ survived the Crucifixion, fled the Romans and Jews, traveled eastwards to Kashmir, died and

was buried there. The airline urged tourists to visit the purported tomb situated in Srinagar.”

Of course, the whole point of the Christian story is that Jesus was buried in Jerusalem … but only for three days. Oops.
