John, basically the Church has placed at the pinnacle of worship, a woman who
became a mother without having sex. I don't think the message is very subtle!

John, imo the problem with the Virgin Mary is that by being both a virgin and a
mother, she is used to denigrate feminine sexuality. Not healthy, to say the
least.
A cool book I read about Mary stated that she and her parents were Essenes.

Share,
We should all keep a close eye on what Pope Francis is saying these days. Some
reporters have stated that Pope Francis believes the Virgin Mary is equal to
God and that Jesus has been demoted. If true, that would really shake all of
the Christian Churches.

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.

For nearly 2,000 years, MaryMagdalene was believed to be aprostitute who
repented and became a disciple of Jesus, but, thetruth about her is finally
emerging. She was almost certainlynot a prostitute, but a wealthy woman whose
support helped earlyChristianity to survive.
Mary Magdalene could have been Jesus' concubine or even hiswife. The Bible
doesn't say what her realtionship was with Jesusexcept that she was a devoted
follower and supporter. The early Gnostic Gospelshave no hesitation describing
the relationship between MaryMagdalene and Jesus.
The death of Jesus could have been a plot todeceive the authorities. Maybe it
was a robber that was hung onthe cross and maybe Jesus escaped with Mary to go
live inFrance. Go figure.

That leaves the people to ask: who were the descendantsof 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 rejectthe validity of the manuscript.
