Upcoming Programs
The Real Mary Magdalene
Peace!
They say “truth is stranger than fiction.” Here at American
Catholic Radio (ACR) we’d like to prove that “truth is better than
fiction.” As we continue our series looking beyond the phenomenon of The Da
Vinci Code—both book and movie—to the truth about Jesus, we focus on
the character of Mary Magdalene. Her fictional portrait in the book and movie distorts
who she really was. ACR talks with theologian Dr. Elizabeth Johnson, who helps
set the record straight on this important Gospel figure. The real Mary Magdalene inspires
us with her witness to Christ’s resurrection. Count on American Catholic Radio to
offer your listeners solid Catholic information in an easy-to-understand format!
