Stephan, is it your opinion that (so called) 'Secret Mark' is likely to be the 'pre-castration' Gospel of Mark?

Are there such things? The proposition of Klinghardt is that Matthew is derived from Mark and Marcion, and Luke is derived from Matthew, Mark and Marcion.

Bernard Muller makes a strong case that the Gospel of Luke was written by a woman. Stephan Huller makes a strong case that Marcion was actually Marcelina.
