Mary Madeline was Jesus' closest disciple. Modern Christian orthodoxy condemns sexual relationships outside of marriage, but the relationship between Jesus and Mary defies this. They're closeness shows the true beauty of the union between a man and woman. Consensual sex is something that should be celebrated, not condemned. Celibacy denies the beauty of God's design. It is virtuous to have sex.
