That may be what the author MEANT, but what here is what he SAID, to quote the first sentence of the article:
Archaeologists have discovered vases of perfumed ointment which may have been used by Mary Magdalene to anoint the feet of Jesus.
Agree but that is not what the priest is saying and his people are the ones who discovered the jars. The press will do anything to make a story. BTW I was at this place. The one thing that amazed me was how people lived so close together and how small their houses were. Homes were about the size of a closet. Years ago when I was a kid I read about the various towns Capernum etc in the bible. I pictured those towns about the size of a small town in the U.S. with maybe a couple of thousands of people living there. Actually Capernum could fit in my backyard.
