WOMAN ELECTED POPE

WINDS OF CHANGE

WOMAN ELECTED POPE
Johann Wagener 3-12-13

Why Not?  Jesus had a woman in His inner-circle; yet today’s Catholic Church completely ignores half of the human race when it comes to leading their flock.  The only dresses you find in the Vatican are those worn by men.  

If these men are indeed doing the work of God and His son Jesus they are miserably failing at it.

 The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: 

Jesus and the First Woman Apostle

The story of the Gospel of Mary is a simple one. Since the first six pages are lost, the gospel opens in the middle of a scene portraying a discussion between the Savior and his disciples set after the resurrection. 

The Savior is answering their questions about the end of the material world and the nature of sin. He teaches them that at present all things, whether material or spiritual, are interwoven with each other. 

In the end, that will not be so. Each nature will return to its own root, its own original state and destiny. But meanwhile, the nature of sin is tied to the nature of life this mixed world. People sin because they do not recognize their own spiritual nature and, instead, love the lower nature that deceives them and leads to disease and death. 

Salvation is achieved by discovering within oneself the true spiritual nature of humanity and overcoming the deceptive entrapments of the bodily passions and the world. The Savior concludes this teaching with a warning against those who would delude the disciples into following some heroic leader or a set of rules and laws. 

Instead they are to seek the child of true Humanity within themselves and gain inward peace.
