"This story" meant the story that Jesus was married. Other apocryphal gospels say things about women that sometimes contradict the orthodox opinion, but they do not say that Jesus was married.
To reiterate what I am saying: there are plenty of historical records of the church attacking heresies in the ancient world, supported by both the writings of the church fathers and the writings of the heretics themselves. What this article points out is that we do not have any other ancient writings that allude to anyone believing that Jesus was married. It is, as far as we can tell, not something that was ever in dispute.
