Would it have mattered if Jesus and Mary Magdelane (sp) was married?

It struck again. I got hit again.

I rinsed off and got out of the shower.

If it'd been me & I'd just been hit twice by lightning, I'd have gotten out of the shower and the he|| with rinsing off.

Zkrib, I watched a show that blamed the Catholics for the notion that MM was a hooker, but I don't know. I also can't imagine what they stood to gain by such a position.

Same thing they stood to gain from worshipping Asexual Bachelor Christ (tm): the misogyny and demonization of eros that are at the very heart of the Church.

Remember, you only need two ingredients for a Madonna-Whore complex, but you do need them both...

It takes the woman of power in Jesus life and makes her 1.) an undesirable, someone Catholics would not pray to 2.) an undesirable female who Jesus found love to take under his wing (thus making Him even more of The Man)

The Catholic Church has something against women...

So much so that they have statues of mary in their churches. That they teach people to ask Mary to pray for them..

Gosh, how misogynist.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

You really can't discount the Mother of the Lord.

Which other women do they venerate in Churches? How many women saints are there? Doesn't it say in the Bible that a woman should be seen, not heard, especially in Church? Oh, and who's teaching was that...right, The Rock (Paul, not the wrestler).

Wow I thought Christ was the heart of the church, and he affirms the beauty of the union between a man and a woman in marriage.

I don't see where he tells married people they have sinned.

It isn't that he demonises eros, just that agape rules so much, and Christ can't help but talk about how cool agape is.

I don't know. Does it say that?

Enough.

Go count them. There are many, many female saints.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Yes, in fact, it does

1 Co 14:34
As in all the churches of God's holy people, women are to remain quiet in the assemblies, since they have no permission to speak: theirs is a subordinate part.

1 Co 14:35
If there is anything they want to know, they should ask their husbands at home: it is shameful for a woman to speak in the assembly.

1 Tm 2:11-12
During instruction, a woman should be quiet and respectful. I give no permission for a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. A woman ought to be quiet.

And then there's this gem of a quote:

man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man

Yeah, but how many of them were former pagan Goddesses?
