Ancient hebrew inscriptions have been found that refer to JHVH's wife.
JHVH's sudden appearence in the Old Testament, and his tribal-volcano-god
style at the time. The weird parellels with Egyptian monotheism during
Akhenaten's reign, a few generations before Moses took off. The obvious
Zoroastrian influence on Judaic mysticism buring the Babylon/Persian
period. Pre-Christian religions with Last Supper / Crucifiction /
Resurection traditions (multiple).

On the other hand, archeology *has* been confirming the basic timelines
of the Old Testament to a large degree recently, which would have been
considered radical only a few decades ago. 

The specifically Catholic wierdness is all too recent and too well
documented to be particularly interesting.
