Magdalen}[17th September 1989]

[continued]
The
idea that Mary Magdalen and Jesus Christ had a sexual relationship,
or wanted to – an idea more and more popular in our sex-obsessed
culture – falls down not only on Jesus’ apparent quality and
teaching, but on the fact that if, as was almost certainly the case,
the Magdalen was a prostitute, she would have had very few illusions
about men, and sex would not have been for her an expression of love:
the last thing she would have wanted from Jesus would have been sex.
In
any case, the records indicate that she was filled with remorse for
her past life, in the presence of Jesus; and given his quality, the
codes of the culture, and the effect he had on other people, there is
no reason to doubt this.
