Mary Magdalene: Apostle to the Apostles, Lost Gospel & the Divine Feminine | Divine Mysticism Podcast Ep. 4

Was Mary Magdalene simply one of Jesus' closest disciples or was she something more?Could the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and ancient Christian traditions reveal a deeper relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene? And how does the Catholic Church understand one of Christianity's most misunderstood women?In Episode 4 of Divine Mysticism, Tasha (Catholic) and Renee (mystic) begin a two-part exploration into the life of Mary Magdalene by examining both Catholic teaching and early Christian mystical traditions.Tasha explores Mary Magdalene through Scripture and Catholic history, discussing why she is honored as the "Apostle to the Apostles," how Pope Gregory's sermon shaped her reputation for over 1,400 years, and how Vatican II & Pope Francis restored her importance within the Church. She also examines the questions that continue to fascinate historians and believers alike: Was Mary Magdalene more than a disciple? Could the Wedding at Cana have been Jesus and Mary Magdalene's wedding? Why did Jesus' relationship with Mary appear to challenge Jewish customs surrounding men, women, and rabbis?Renee then explores the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, tracing the origins of these ancient writings, how they were discovered, and why they were never included in the biblical canon. Together they discuss the famous passage describing Jesus kissing Mary Magdalene, Peter's challenge to Mary's authority after the Resurrection, the symbolism of the seven demons, and how early Christian mysticism presents Mary Magdalene as a powerful spiritual teacher whose influence continues to inspire millions today.Rather than offering definitive answers, this episode invites listeners to thoughtfully explore both Catholic tradition and early Christian mystical perspectives surrounding one of the greatest mysteries in Christian history.In this episode:• Mary Magdalene in Catholic tradition• Why she is called the "Apostle to the Apostles"• Pope Gregory and the 1,400-year misunderstanding of Mary Magdalene• Pope Francis' restoration of her feast day• Was Mary Magdalene more than a disciple?• Did Jesus and Mary Magdalene's relationship break first-century Jewish customs?• Was the Wedding at Cana actually Jesus' wedding?• The Gospel of Philip and the controversial kiss passage• The origins of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene• Why the Gospel of Mary wasn't included in the Bible• Peter's challenge to Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection• Early Christian mysticism and the Divine Feminine• The questions that inspired The Da Vinci CodeWhether you're Catholic, Christian, interested in church history, or curious about early Christian mysticism, this episode explores one of the Bible's most captivating women through both faith and historical inquiry.Topics: Mary Magdalene • Gospel of Mary • Gospel of Philip • Catholic Church • Apostle to the Apostles • Was Mary Magdalene Jesus' Wife? • Wedding at Cana • Jesus and Mary Magdalene • Early Christianity • Christian Mysticism • Divine Feminine • Pope Gregory • Pope Francis • Lost Gospels • Da Vinci Code • Church History • Bible Study • Catholicism • Jesus ChristWatch the Video Podcast 🎥 YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@DivineMysticismpodcastListen Everywhere 🎧 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/033GuFBoqaPvyBV67T2nCU🍎 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/divine-mysticism-podcast/id6785298161❤️ iHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/1333-divine-mysticism-podcast-337728348/Join Our Patreon Community ✨ https://patreon.com/DivineMysticismPatreon members receive:• Bonus podcast episodes• Weekly Astrology & Reflections• Guided meditations• Monthly intention workshops• Exclusive discussions• Early access to episodes• Upcoming book clubFollow Divine Mysticism 📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/divinemysticismpodcast📘 Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/divinemysticismpodcast🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@divine.mysticism.p
