Clarifying notes, for the common inquirer, as concerning our Faith's utilization of certain fragmented texts are as follows:
Protevangelium of James: Strictly referred to by Origen in passing, we include it here only for consideration's sake as a text corroborated as extant at least during the first era of the Faith. We do not require our membership make sweeping claims in any direction as to the debate by Origen herein.
Gospel of Peter: As fragments of Peter's Works are found related, we have opted to treat the primary and secondary Fragments as two halves of an whole to best serve greatest considerations by the inquirer; The Gospel According to Peter is joined with the Apocalypse of Peter to allow for a full text from which to derive information dealing with the death (former Work) and resurrection (latter Work) of the Christ per Peter's accounts. Origen expressly states that these accounts were, in fact, divinely inspired, though he condemns Peter as failing to "preserve the honour of Mary in virginity" (albeit, like all of his suppositions, he fails to substantiate them beyond deference to Apostolic ethos or unfounded pathos).
(Other Works mentioned by Apostolic Successive figures, but lost to us in the present: Gospel of Basilides, Gospel of The Twelve, Gospel of Matthias, Gospel of the Hebrews / Gospel of the Nazoreans)
