I refer to the letter Why was 'Da Vinci Code' allowed?
I think that by describing Mary Magdelene as a prostitute, Melanie Abdullah has vilified the Catholic Church and the New Testament in one fell swoop.
The New Testament (and some apocryphal scriptures) described Mary Magdalene as a devoted disciple of Jesus.
In the eyes of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican churches, the Magdalene was a saint, and her feast day is celebrated by Christians every July 22.
Those who condemn others so easily, whoever they may be, should perhaps learn a lesson in compassion.
