ABSTRACT
The Enlightenment developed the concept of normalcy through which some Western societies have been privileged as the measure of normalcy, giving meaning to reality, colonizing and labelling all other cultures and societies. As with the term 'queer', originally used as a degrading word, now been recovered as a word of resistance, a counter-language is needed to resist and distort the order of traditional/decent theology/ies. Traditional theology has portrayed Mary of Magdala as a prostitute, a repented sinner saved by Jesus. Feminist theologians deny Mary of Magdala's body and her sexuality. They completely reject her sinful past ascribed to her by classical Christian tradition. Christian churches should re-explore their theology/ies and embrace new horizons in the same spirit that Jesus embraced the wholeness of human beings. Today's Christianity seeks to silence people with experiences of gender and performances of sexualities that do not fit into the normalized understanding of the body and sexuality as regulated by Christian morality.
