Rev. Madison Jones McAleese, an ordained priest with the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America (CACINA), recently spoke at a PCUSA church, where she argued that Jesus ordained Mary Magdalene as a pastor. In her speech, Rev. Madison pointed to Jesus' words to Mary after the resurrection: "Go and tell them."

"Jesus is telling Mary to preach, to be the first post-resurrection preacher of the good news," Rev. Madison said. "When Jesus says, 'Go and tell them,' is that not Jesus ordaining Mary? Is that not her moment of ordination as a pastor?"

Rev. Madison, who describes herself as "an open and affirming sacramental church" priest, asked why the church spent centuries hiding Mary Magdalene's true role. "Why did the church get it so wrong? Why has this narrative been silenced? Why did the church spend centuries hiding that fact and portraying her only in terms of her sexuality?"

She emphasized that Jesus "re-identified her, not as the world saw her, not as anyone saw her, but as a beloved disciple." Rev. Madison holds master's degrees in public diplomacy and Christian studies and is pursuing her doctorate in social transformation. She works as a consultant and digital minister through TikTok and her YouTube channel, Translating Faith.

By restricting priesthood to men, the Catholic Church distorts the sacramental encounter with God and denies women their fundamental right to discern a divine calling.
