Pope Gregory Lied And Falsely Labelled Mary Magdalene A Prostitute! by Daejumong(m): 7:16am On Jul 20
How Pope Gregory of Roman Catholic Church lied and falsely called Mary Magdalene a Prostitute to lessen her value and importance! The politics and female gender discrimination in the early church will shock you!

Mary Magdalene was very close to Jesus and because she was the one Christ gave his first message after resurrection to deliver to his runaway petrified male disciples made many early church Christian leaders uncomfortable!
Many Western church leaders sought to downplay her influence by portraying her as a sinner, specifically a prostitute.

Numerous scholars argue that because Jesus empowered women early in his ministry, it made some of the men who would lead the early church later on troubled and uneasy. They responded by turning her into a prostitute.

To make Mary Magdalene look like the original repentant prostitute, early church leaders merged her with other women mentioned in the Bible, including an unnamed woman, identified in the Gospel of Luke as a sinner, who bathes Jesus’s feet with her tears as well as another Mary, Mary of Bethany, who also appears in Luke.

In 591 A.D., Pope Gregory the Great solidified this misunderstanding in a sermon: “She whom Luke calls the sinful woman, whom John calls Mary [of Bethany], we believe to be the Mary from whom seven devils were ejected according to Mark."

Pope Gregory and other sexist, chauvinistic early church leaders believed that by turning her into a prostitute, they would make her unimportant and diminish her value . They made people believe she couldn't have been a leader, because of what she did for a living!

Sadly, this lies by the then Pope and other insecure early church leaders remained in the church centuries after!

No where in the Bible is Mary Magdalene labelled a Prostitute! She is mentioned 12 times in the New Testament, making her the second most mentioned woman after the Virgin Mary.

It wasn’t until 1969, during Pope Paul VI’s clarification, that Mary Magdalene’s true identity as a faithful bearer of the Good News was finally recognized!

Men need not to feel threatened by women! Jesus , the son of God, elevated women to a status never seen in a male dominated patriarchal Israel , to the chagrin of his male followers! Mary Magdalene was the most loyal of all Jesus’ disciples and followers- She was at His crucifixion and burial(these were times Jesus needed his friends the most, but they all ran away)! I look forward to when we will start having female Popes and more female General overseers! The gender discrimination in the church Must STOP!

while Mary Magdalene was never identified as the prostitute, your intention is clear which is not to glorify Jesus christ but to promote feminism.
In all of your post you always seek to lie, change and twist the truth of the gospel for your agenda.
Women has always had an elevated position in Israel and the disciples were never in chagrin because Mary magdalene brought messages to them, you just had to lie in other to propagate your ideology by using the bible.
The scripture already prophesied about people like you.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
