Mary Magdalene: The Apostles' Apostle
Update: 2025-09-01
Description
In this episode we look at Mary Magdalene, the favorite female disciple of Jesus. The gospels suggest that Mary became a follower of Jesus after he expelled seven demons from her. Pope Gregory promoted the narrative that she was a "repentent prostitute". The various Gnostic gospels suggest that Mary knew and understood secrets that the other Apostles could not understand, and she was frequently dismissed and challenged by Simon Peter, acknowledged as the first Pope of the church.
We look at the stories about Mary Magdalene, both the history and the tradition, and ultimately ask the question--did Mary have the secret to escaping the cycle of time, hinted at by the Gnostic gospels?
