Was Mary Magdalene the wife of Jesus or a witness the Church quietly reframed? This episode drifts from first‑century Galilee to the vaults of the Vatican, through torn Coptic papyri, medieval sermons, Provençal relic cults, and a 2016 decree that quietly changed her rank. We verify dates, sift manuscripts, and test legends against archaeology to see what the Vatican actually says and pointedly doesn’t. It’s a calm, cinematic excavation of beauty and darkness in Christian memory, told without sensationalism but with relentless curiosity.
