The script has taken into account above all the apocryphal gospel of Gnostic origin of Mary Magdalene that was found in Nag Hamadi, Egypt, in Was he going to want to present her as more dignified than us? Levi says to Peter: You always have cholera by your side, and right now you argue with the woman confronting her.
If the Savior has judged her worthy, who are you to despise her? Marian responded by saying, What is hidden for you I will announce to you. Then Andrew spoke and said to the brethren, Say what you think about what he has said. I, for my part, do not believe that the Savior has said these things. These doctrines are very strange. Peter responded by talking about the same topics and questioned them about the Savior: Have you spoken to a woman without us knowing and not manifestly, so that we should all turn and listen to her?
Have you preferred her to us? Then Marian burst into tears and said to Peter, Peter, my brother, what do you think? Do you suppose that I have reflected these things for myself or that I lie about the Savior? Now I see you exercising against a woman as if she were an adversary. However, if the Savior made her worthy, who are you to reject her? A certain press that likes more radical and anti-clerical feminism has raised suspicions about an alleged conspiracy of the Catholic Church to deliberately hide its true prominence in the Apostolic College, as it could overshadow the figure and primacy of Peter among the Twelve; and thus be able to legitimize the theological foundation of the papacy and sustain a sexist and patriarchal ecclesial structure for centuries.
Leaving aside the passions, opinions and ideological positions, it is healthy to approach the canonical Gospels, which are the only normatives for the Christian faith and clarify what they say about this woman, and what has been the origin of the historical error that has stigmatized her in Christian doctrine, liturgy and iconography. Everything seems to indicate by name that Mary Magdalene was native to Magdala, a small village near the Sea of Galilee. The four gospels mention it thirty-two times.
His name appears among the women who accompany Jesus during his public ministry Mt ; Mc 15, 47; Lk Mark says he watches from afar how they bury the Lord Mk And on Easter morning she arrives at the tomb before Peter Jn , so she is the first witness of the Resurrection Mt ; Mc 16, 9; Jn , although he does not immediately recognize it in his dialogue with the garden Jn The risen Jesus will make her an Apostle among the Apostles, when he sends her to his brethren with this good news Jn Another Mary who has been confused with the Magdalene is Mary who is bethany, sister of Martha and Lazarus, whom Jesus took out of the tomb in the presence of all the people Jn Probably the mixture between Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany and the public sinner has to do with the famous passage of the ation of Jesus by a woman.
