No, but I've always said that I am a 'unorthodox Christian' Matt, and my extensive research into my religion leads me to the conviction that Jesus was Mary's partner and very probably married to her.

Apart from the fact that Jesus was an adult Jewish male and it is the norm in Judaism to be married at his age, there is just so much evidence for this that it is ridiculous - in my opinion - not to accept as much.

From 1,600 year old texts coming to light which had hitherto been hidden away in the British Museum, to the evidence of the Nag Hammadi 'Lost Gospels' , to the secret 'codes' within Da Vinci and Michelangelo's art works, the evidence is compelling.

The latest revelations about the recently discovered and reconstructed clay prototype of Michaelangelo's 'Pieta' is especially persuasive.

The fact that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene does nothing to detract from him being the Christ and perhaps it's time that orthodox Christians should take a fresh look at Christianity and acknowledge that much of what we read in our Holy Bible owes more to MAN's prejudice-driven draconian editing than any unaltered truth.
