Mary Magdalene |
Mary Magdalene is a primarily Christian
figure who is mentioned several times in areas of significance in the
New Testament Gospels. Mary Magdalene identity is often conflated
with those of other women, which may have led to her faulty
identification as a reformed prostitute. During the Middle Ages Mary
Magdalene was alternately honored as a faithful follower of Jesus
and a lustful courtesan, and ultimately Mary Magdalene became an
incredibly popular saint. Medieval legends paint Mary Magdalene
as an apostle, healer, and hermit in addition to Mary Magdalene
traditional gospel roles. The Roman Catholic Church no longer officially
teaches that Mary Magdalene was a reformed prostitute, but many
Catholic and non-Catholic Christians are still receiving that message.
The more positive aspect of the reformed prostitute identity is that it
has spawned a great number of helpful women's relief organizations. |
