Mary Magdalene, the Apostle of Apostles.

The traditional Church has marginalized the role of Mary Magdalene and prohibited the gospels in which Mary Magdalene played an important role and which portray her as close to Jesus. These gospels, such as “The Gospel of Philip”,  “The Dialogue of the Savior” and “The Gospel of Mary (Magdalene)” have been found in the Nag Hammadi texts and throw an entirely different light on the position of Mary Magdalene. In these gospels, she is the most beloved disciple of Jesus Christ.
Mary Magdalene had a prominent position among the apostles. She is called the “apostola apostolorum”, the “apostle of apostles”. She was an initiate of the seventh stage of the Mithras mysteries, which is the highest stage in the process of initiation. She had already acquired Christ Consciousness; she knew the “All” and was therefore “all-knowing” as far as this was possible on Earth.
In the Pistis Sophia it says: “And Jesus, the compassionate, answered and said unto Mary: ‘Mary, thou blessed one, whom I will perfect in all mysteries of those of the height, discourse in openness, thou, whose heart is raised to the kingdom of heaven more than all thy brethren”. 
And a little bit further down: “It came to pass then, when Mary had finished saying these words that he said: “Well said, Mary, for thou art blessed before all women on the earth, because thou shalt be the fullness of all fullness and the perfection of all perfections”. 
The phrase “the fullness of all fullness” refers to the highest stage of initiation: He or she who knows the “All”.
