calls Mary Magdalene "an important icon for the 21st Century" who urges
women to listen to the call of Christ over the call of the church; and who
calls "women to courage and men to humility;" and a Christianity that
"rises above sexism."*
When I preached my first sermon as an Episcopal priest, a woman came up
afterwards and said, "I’m Roman Catholic and I disagreed with your
decision.  But I’ve read you books and felt I should come to hear you
speak.  During the mass I was hit right here"—she pointed to her
heart—"first by a woman celebrating mass and second by your talk.  Now I
get it.  You have to speak—you have so much we have to hear and your church
won’t let you speak."

Many Catholics have told me over the years how meaningful it is to see
women priests celebrating Mass such as the woman celebrant at Grace
Cathedral that day.

The arguments offered against ordaining women by Popes John Paul II,
Benedict XVI and now repeated by Pope Francis are simply without basis.
They tell us that Jesus did not ordain women and so we must not do so. *They
are correct that Jesus did not ordain women—but neither did he ordain men!
The priesthood is a second century response to the Jesus event–so the
argument simply does not hold water.  It is spurious.*  By the second
century men had taken over the running of things and women were put in
their place.

Jesus broke with traditional patriarchal control compulsions and Mary
Magdalene, who actually lived in Jesus’ day and was close to him,
represents women leadership because she announced the good news of the
resurrection and she developed a ministry of healing and exorcisms.
New Testament scholar Bruce Chilton has written a substantive book on *Mary
Magdalene: A Biography* in which he tells us that she offers "insight into
the ultimate significance of who her rabbi was and what his life *and*
death truly mean."  He calls Mary "one of the prime catalysts and shaping
forces of Christianity—the role for her that Mark’s text intimates."

A lot of the strange stories foisted onto her "are unmistakably male
fantasies" such as Martin Scorsese’s picture in *The Last Temptation of
Christ*, of her operating a "one-woman Galilean brothel" such as never
could have had happened in a small Jewish enclave.  Or that she bore
Jesus’s child (Dan Brown). Says Chilton:
[Mary Magdalene offered] *signature sacraments of exorcism, anointing, and
vision….Her three gifts of Spirit include dissolving what is impure or
evil, offering ointment for sickness and sin, and permitting her followers
to perceive the spiritual truth of Resurrection.  These sacraments follow
the centuries-old practice of women in Galilean Judaism and did not require
hierarchy or dogma. *

Her life "is a sacramental biography" marked by how she "unleashed" ritual
power during Jesus’ life and at his death.**

There is much here for women, men and their institutions to meditate on in
2021.

Matthew Fox’s stirring autobiography, *Confessions*, reveals his personal,
intellectual, and spiritual journey from altar boy, to Dominican priest, to
his eventual break with the Vatican. Five new chapters in this revised and
updated edition bring added perspective in light of the author’s continued
journey, and his reflections on the current changes taking place in church,
society and the environment.
