@mhoye How does that square with:

We pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.
— Pope Pius XII, *Munificentissimus Deus*, 1950

@artnacrea Probably rude to argue about canon with the people who invented canonization.

@artnacrea @mhoye Mary the mother of Christ is not Mary Magdalene, the latter was a sex worker who he befriended (and according to some historians maybe had a relationship with). The previous his mother. The fact they have the same name can be quite confusing.

Mary Magdalene was most likely a wealthy person who supported the followers. The sex worker who washed Jesus' feet was never named.
