Obsession with Mary Magdalene?

I am interested in your thoughts. The recent film on Mary Magdalene on the history channel (see Something About Mary Magdalene )mentioned an “obsession with Mary Magdalene.”
I wouldn’t call it an obsession but rather a “mystique” – a fascination and veneration for someone whose character has been harmed. I think it’s fair to say that this mystique has taken hold of some of us who want to right a wrong. A wrong done to a saint, and to women in general. And it’s a fork in the road – a turning point - that is changing our thinking in powerful ways.
