Nobody wants to debate this. It's funny. Everyone wants to jump on the Jesus was married to the whore bandwagon, but nobody is interested in the truth? I guess it's solved, just like that. Mary Magdalene was the mother of Jesus.

The key here is that is says Mary called Magdalene. Mary called the certain women, out of whom went seven devils, Magdalene.
Magdalene is plural for the women from Magdala.,
