When was Mary of Magdalene canonized?

Answer 1

Mary, Jesus' mother, was never formally canonised, as she was considered to be a saint from the beginning of the Christian era.

The title "Mother of God" or "Theotokos" was assigned to her at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. People had interpreted The Bible as teaching that Jesus was not truly God from his birth, and that Mary gave birth to the Christ, but not to God the Son, or the Logos, i.e. Mary gave birth to a nature, not a person.

The Church countered this by saying that Mary did indeed give birth to a person who was fully God - Theotokos means God-bearer in Greek. She was truly the mother of a person who was truly God; this does not imply that she was the mother of his divine nature, which existed eternally before she did.

Mary was proclaimed a saint by popular acclaim long before there was an official process in place for canonization. I suppose one could say that since Mary was born without original sin, she was born a saint.

Mary was not canonized. The canonization process did not come into existence until about 1000 years after Mary's death/assumption. Almost immediately after Mary was taken into heaven the early Christians, including the surviving apostles, proclaimed her as a saint.

Answer 5

Mary was conceived in her mother's womb as a saint. She was born without original sin. God had plans for Mary eons before the planet Earth even existed.

Mary was not canonized because that process did not begin until about the 12th century. She was proclaimed a saint by the ealry Christians because of her being the Mother of Our Lord.
