An interesting place to look is at TAN Books -- I see a couple of titles, Mary Magdalen in the Visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich - The Great Magdalens

Thomas A. Nelson is a very traditional Catholic publishing house, and they offer a variety of works that you can be quite sure will not err on the side of feminism or secularism.

It's important to remember, however, that private revelation (such as that of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich) is neither binding nor required to be believed. It is useful for instruction and edification of the faithful, but that's as far as it goes. You don't want to fall in the ditch on the other side of the road.

Apropos of this, a relic of St. Mary Magdalen visited the U.S. last fall and reposed at our parish church for a day -- under 24-hour guard by the Knights of Malta and the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. We went and venerated her relic and it was an amazing experience -- to be so close to the body of someone who actually knew Jesus, who saw Him after his Resurrection . . . awe inspiring.
