Lots of speculation and guesswork. Some things are well known (e.g. Gregory’s role in arguing she was a prostitute) but their interpretation here is questionable - it is usually taken as an indication of Jesus's attitude to people conventionally labelled "bad", as with Matthew.

There is some downright ridiculous stuff here as well - "Maybe Jesus was clearing Magdalene’s chakras.".
