WEEKLY CATHOLIC Q & A Order of Worship WITH FR. ANTHONY Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time We welcome you to this Eucharistic Celebration! Many popular books and TV specials say that Jesus and Mary Hearing assistance devices are available, please ask an usher. Magdalene were lovers. Is it true that Jesus and were married? Is there any evidence to support this claim? Entrance Shepherd of Souls, 156 Regarding the particular claim that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’ wife, no document written within 150 years of Jesus’ death Gloria depicts or even implies such a relationship. Some might argue that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’ lover rather than his wife. But surely someone during Jesus’ lifetime would have to have known Responsorial Psalm this in order for us to know it today. If so, we should be able to find evidence of this in the gospel accounts written by Jesus’ ene- mies, where other accusations against Jesus are clearly recorded. But Mary Magdalene is nowhere called his lover. Furthermore, if such a claim were widely known in the early Church, there would be evidence in the canonical against those making the charge. If it were true, why would the evangelists have even mentioned Mary Magdalene and risked giving credence to the Alleluia very idea the Gospels supposedly want to suppress? Gospel and Homily Only in a few obscure and very late apocryphal gospels (written after the year 200 AD long after Jesus death and long after the last canonical Gospel is written in 90 AD) is Mary Magdalene Offertory: Organ solo depicted in romantic terms. But Gnostic (secret knowledge) sects known to have specific ideological agendas and not part of the Eucharistic Acclamations authentic Christian Church generated these writings. As they were attempting to counter the canonical Gospels and existing Christian beliefs in their “gospels,” we have no reason to think Communion: Take and Eat, 153 that they give us reliable information about the Jesus of history and certainly not the Jesus of our Faith. Recessional: Holy God, We Praise Thy Name, 67

Finally, none of the writings of those who immediately followed the writers—writers such as Clement of , , and of Lyons—refer to Jesus as having been married. We have to jump a century or more, ignoring all the evidence in between, to find even the slightest support for a married Jesus. The assertion that Jesus was married puts the burden of proof on those making the claim. Those who argue for a married Jesus simply haven’t met that burden. What evidence we have—even when considered apart from the Church’s Tradition—all points in the other direction.

Responsorial Psalm printed under LicenSing #621793
