Which Pope Gregory?

The cited article for the conflation of Magdalene with Mary of Bethany and the Unnamed sinner says Pope Gregory the Great, in 1591. Gregory the Great is Gregory I, who was pope in the 6th century. The pope in 1591 was Gregory XIV.

The Wikipedia page on Mary of Bethany says Gregory I and the year 591: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_of_Bethany.

This conflation is due to a recent unconstructive edit which I just reverted. --Omnipaedista (talk) 03:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Mary Magdalene's Holy Gospel

Mary Magdalene the Beloved Companion of LORD YESHUA did write her gospel contrary to this written article. It is called, "The Gospel of The Beloved Companion. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene". Transcribed and edited by Jeanne de Quillan and is available on Amazon. Co.uk for sale. 46.208.100.219 (talk) 16:59, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

"Artist's fantasy"

I concur with @LMorland's removal of "(artist's fantasy)" from the caption of the portrait. If we captioned every painting with fantastical elements with "artist's fantasy" the captions would all be very cluttered. It is totally unnecessary, and the unusual nature of this label makes it suspect, as if the editors need to disavow the realism of the artist's beliefs. I could understand if it were a fantastical painting with spiritual or supernatural elements depicted, but this is a slice of life, other than a possibly anachronistic pharmaceutical vessel. Per WP:NPOV if we don't use it routinely then we shouldn't make this special case. Elizium23 (talk) 14:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree; possibly replacing "showing" with "depicting". W. P. Uzer (talk) 14:39, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it need better wording, but noone knows what MM looked like: this is not a portrait, it's imagination. Skyerise (talk) 14:43, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Bibliography entry

@StarryNightSky11: please help me understand how a bibliography entry formatted as a citation is "unsourced"? Elizium23 (talk) 02:31, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ never got married to her or anyone else for that matter. How could He have done what He did if that was the case.Why would anyone want to lie about such a thing as that? He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born free from sin. He didn’t come into this world to sin but to deliver us from sin. He thought about us and never Himself. Stop saying that!!!! 2603:8080:F400:12A4:FCEC:2096:1CE8:4EDA (talk) 03:47, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

The article simply describes the speculation from several respected writers that Jesus MAY HAVE been married to Mary Magdalene. While no source says that they definitely were married (nor that they weren't), the speculation is real. HiLo48 (talk) 04:00, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Magdala as a Fishing Village

It is my understanding that the identification of Magdala as a fishing village is not based on verified historical data. As this part of the introduction is not cited, I propose it be amended or removed. 109.78.46.129 (talk) 08:25, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
