Richard and John, the Catholic Church imo requires a major overhaul in order to
survive into the next century. I don't think it's possible but I could be wrong.

Richard and John, imo, what we're seeing now is patriarchal spirituality
in its death throes and the re emergence of the feminine divine as co creator.
Plus which there may have been another Mary, one who was a prostitute. Or
maybe these various Marys, virgin, wife and prostitute are aspects of the
collective psyche.

Mary Magdalene was apparently framed!
Modern scholarship debunks the myth of Mary Magdalene as prostitute turned
saint in this installment of A&E's popular Biography series, in which viewers
learn of Mary's true role as evangelist, prophet, and influential leader of the
early Christian church.
Mary was born into an affluent family, but became Jesus' follower and
patroness as well as his closest friend. Although her smeared reputation likely
was the result of medieval opposition to women's leadership in the Church, Mary
Magdalene is emerging as an object of veneration rather than one of controversy.

For nearly 2,000 years, Mary Magdalene was believed to be a prostitute who
repented and became a disciple of Jesus, but, the truth about her is finally
emerging. She was almost certainly not a prostitute, but a wealthy woman whose
support helped early Christianity to survive.
Mary Magdalene could have been Jesus' concubine or even his wife. The Bible
doesn't say what her realtionship was with Jesus except that she was a devoted
follower and supporter. The early Gnostic Gospels have no hesitation describing
the relationship between Mary Magdalene and Jesus.
The death of Jesus could have been a plot to deceive the authorities. Maybe it
was a robber that was hung on the cross and maybe Jesus escaped with Mary to
go live in France. Go figure.

That leaves the people to ask: who were the descendants of Jesus and Mary,
and where are they now?
Also, the involvement of Mary Magdalene as "co-messiah" would completely
change the present Christian theology. As such, I believe the orthodoxy would
completely reject the validity of the manuscript.

Mary Magdalene was a "co-messiah", the wife of Jesus and the mother of his
children, according to a translation of an ancient manuscript.
